HOW TO WASH THE BRASSINESS DOWN THE DRAIN
This post is sponsored by Hair Biology, and I will receive compensation, but the opinions expressed are my own.
When I was young, I had snow-white hair. It was gorgeous, and I remember getting compliments and comments on my hair at a very young age. But age does funny things to our hair, and even though I have been able to keep the thickness of my hair, the color did not survive.
By the time that I was a senior in high school, my gorgeous white hair had turned to a blah color. It wasn’t quite blonde, and it wasn’t quite brunette; instead, it was mousey and forgettable. Even my Farrah Fawcett hairstyle couldn’t get my hair back to the compliment stage that I had enjoyed in my youth.
Thanks to my lovely hairdresser, I have been able to revive my blonde from days gone by, but I have still had a struggle with the color. Blonde hair tends to go brassy, and that is not the effect that I am wanting. Thankfully, I have found a cure for my brassiness, and it is affordable and easy to use.
You might remember that I told all of you about a new hair product that I had found. I’ve been using the Hair Biology products since June, and I still love how healthy and shiny my hair looks. Recently I added the Silver & Glowing Collection to my hair routine. 
Even though I don’t have gray hair, the silver & glowing shampoo and conditioner works wonders for me. The Silver & Glowing Collection is designed to meet the unique needs of my hair with a purple shampoo and conditioner that together removes residue and corrects yellow tones.
I use the purple shampoo and conditioner several times in a row until I get the color that I am wanting. Then I can maintain the color by using the shampoo and conditioner every other time that I shampoo.
It isn’t very often that you can find a purple conditioner, so I was thrilled to find that Hair Biology carries both the shampoo and conditioner.
I am especially partial to the Deep Hydration Mask that has given me amazingly silky and shiny hair. Dullness is something that happens to our hair as we age, and this product has brought my hair back to life. This mask is a weekly treatment, but I have a confession to make…I use this mask every time that I wash my hair. I LOVE IT!!! The Argan Oil Taming Serum also helps tame any frizzies or flyaways, and it also is excellent at smoothing my ends.
Hair Biology is on a mission to empower women to be ‘Bolder not Older.’ They educate consumers about these products, which are specially formulated for women aged 45+, who are noticing changes in their hair. Thank goodness Hair Biology realized that women over 45 needed different products for our hair. Women over 40 have been overlooked for way too long by fashion brands, so I was thrilled to see a company who valued us older women, and developed products just for us. These products are specially formulated for the texture changes that come with age and older hair, and they make my hair soft and manageable without weighing it down. When you have thick and heavy hair as I do, you love products that don’t make your hair look flat.
Even if you don’t have blonde hair or gray hair, you need to check out the complete collection of Hair Biology products since they have something for all of us. Hair Biology carries a Full & Vibrant Collection for thinning hair, a Soft & Hydrated Collection for dry, damaged hair, and more styling products.
You might be able to tell how excited I am about this Silver & Glowing Collection!!! Lol! And, now, my hair is back to getting comments and compliments!
Thanks, Hair Biology, for sponsoring this post and giving me the opportunity to tell all of my friends about this wonderful new line of products that can be found at Target.
Is this for dyed hair? I get highlights and lowlights.
My hair is dyed and has highlights and lowlights too. It works great for me.
I began using this when you posted it last time, My hair was blond until around 7th grade. It has been every color since, but during Covid I stopped coloring. As the gray/silver has grown in, it has blended well with the blondish color I had. My hair is so healthy now. I am also starting to get compliments on it again. True testimonial
I was amazed at how shiny and healthy my hair looked when I first started using the products. I thought that shiny hair was something that an older person could no longer achieve. These products sure proved me wrong. Lol!
When you say that you use these products “every other time” you wash your hair…does that mean that you go back to the Hairbiology shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair in between uses? Hope this makes sense. I have started using these products and love them. Thank you for updating!
Cindy, I use the Soft & Hydrated Shampoo and the hydrating mask when I am not using the Silver & Glowing set.
I tried this product when you featured it on your blog a couple months ago. I love the results and I love the price! I’m in my sixties and have a really thick head of hair. I’ve been coloring it for over 50 years. I feel fortunate that still any hair ????. I’ve been using the soft and hydrating shampoo and conditioner as well as the purple when needed. My hair is soft, shiny and brighter. This has been a fantastic find. Thank you Tania!
Kathryn, I agree completely with everything that you said. I love it when products actually do what they say! These are terrific!!!
I have been using purple shampoo for years! It really helps with blond highlights! I haven’t tried the kind you use but I can really see a difference in your hair! It looks really nice!
Karen, I’ve used purple shampoo off and on for a while. When the virus struck, I started using it more and more to help blend in the gray that was not getting colored. These Hair Biology products are so affordable, and the results are great.
Finally a product that caters to aging hair (70 +). I’m also blonde and looking forward to using Hair Biology to tone down the grassiness. In addition, it affordable. Thank for sharing.
Dee, that is one of the things that I like best about this shampoo. I’ve used purple shampoos before from the salons, but this is MUCH more affordable, and the results are great.
I will definitely be trying these products. I was a white blonde as a child and now struggle with that mousey color. I love the tones in your hair. Do you do lowlights and color? Thank you as always for keeping us informed of a products worth using.
I love how this product gives me that (straw) color that I am looking for. My stylist used to do highlights and lowlights before this virus, but now we are sticking to only highlights. That way, if the shops have to close down, my hair won’t have as much maintenance. Plus, using the purple shampoo helps to keep it brighter and whiter looking, which blends in with any gray that I might have showing.
Oh my gosh Tania, my daughter has been looking for something to tame brassiness. she is younger but I will tell her about this, as she has tried several different products with no luck!
Mary, with this type of shampoo, the longer that it sits on your hair before your rinse, the whiter it makes the hair. I would recommend starting with a small amount, like a minute or two, and then going longer each time until you figure out the color you want. You don’t want such a drastic change that it looks weird.
Going to try it! I just started using Biolage purple shampoo a few months ago to help with brassiness but it’s almost gone. Love your hair color.
You will love it Patti. Make sure to get the hydrating mask and use it at least a couple of times a week. It really makes your hair soft and shiny!!!
Hair Biology is great! I started using their volume line and it has worked really well for me. My hair has been thinning for years. HB makes it feel soft but not so soft that it is limp and it gives really good lift. There has been enough of a difference that my hair stylist asked what I was using and got me to send her screenshots of the bottles.
And the HB products work better and are more affordable than what I had been getting from the dermatologist!
Michele, this makes me happy to hear. I love letting everyone know about the products that I have found that are great. But, when you all love the products too, that is when I get happy!!! I am going to have to screenshot your response to show Hair Biology.
