No more yellow tints in gray hair: this €34 Kérastase purple shampoo, available at Sephora, works wonders for women over 60
Today, many women over 60 proudly rock their gray hair. Its silvery hue adds character, but it remains vulnerable to the stresses of daily life. One problem often arises: yellowish tones that dull the hair and rob it of its luster.
A purple shampoo by Kérastase to enhance gray hair
Kérastase, a pioneering brand in hair care, offers a targeted solution with the Ultra-Violet Shampoo. This product is part of the Blond Absolu line, available at Sephora. Its vegan formula combines violet and blue pigments to neutralize yellow or brassy tones from the very first use.
The results are immediate on gray hair and white hair. The color regains its purity from roots to ends. The hair shaft appears more radiant and healthier. This treatment addresses the specific needs of hair in those over 60.
The power of the Ultra-Violet Shampoo also lies in its active ingredients. Edelweiss flower protects the hair fiber from daily pollution and oxidation. Hyaluronic acid deeply strengthens the hair, making it more resilient.
“A true rejuvenating treatment for your hair.”
Vitamins for a More Radiant Complexion
The combination of vitamins C and E in the formula smooths the hair shaft. This helps eliminate the dullness that often affects gray hair. Light is reflected optimally for a shiny finish.
This shampoo is priced at €34 for the 250 ml size. It’s a reasonable investment for those who want to take care of their silver hair. The product offers excellent value for money in this category of specialized hair care products.
How to Use This Skin-Brightening Treatment Properly Every Day
Using the Ultra-Violet Shampoo is simple and easy. Just apply the product to your wet scalp, then massage it in gently. The secret lies in the processing time: you need to leave it on for at least 2 minutes to activate the neutralizing pigments.
- Apply to wet hair
- Gently massage the scalp
- Let it sit for at least 2 minutes
- Extend the application time depending on the desired intensity
- Use it alternately with a regular shampoo to protect the hair shaft
Ideally, alternate this treatment with a regular shampoo. This method helps maintain the hair fiber’s balance over the long term. This keeps gray hair hydrated without over-treating it with pigments.
For those looking for more intense color correction, the processing time can be extended. Everyone’s hair reacts differently to purple and blue pigments. It’s best to test to find the ideal ratio.
A complete routine to prolong the benefits
The Blond Absolu line isn’t limited to shampoo. It offers a complete routine that includes a mask, a heat-protectant spray, and a finishing oil. These complementary products extend the effects of the anti-yellowing treatment between washes.
Another feature that appeals to female users is the California Splash scent. This fragrance, with its notes of zesty citrus and fresh flowers, transforms shampooing into a sensory experience. Hair smells great all day long.
Why Does Gray Hair Turn Yellow Over Time?
Salt-and-pepper hair has a unique character that many women embrace with pride. Its sensitivity to external stressors is the only downside to this natural shade. Pollution, the sun, and certain styling products leave behind particles that alter the color.
Unwanted yellowish tones gradually appear on the hair shaft. The hair then looks dull and severely lacks shine. This phenomenon particularly affects gray hair after age 60, as the hair shaft becomes more porous over time.
The neutralizing pigments in the Ultra-Violet Treatment work based on the principle of colorimetry. Purple cancels out yellow on the color wheel. Blue corrects the brassy tones that can also appear in gray hair.
This targeted treatment restores gray hair to its original silvery sheen. The color remains pure and luminous between applications. Women over 60 can enjoy radiant hair without resorting to hair dye.
