dpHUE Cool Brunette Shampoo, 8.5 oz - Blue Pigments to Neutralize Unwanted Orange, Red, Brassy Tones - Moisturizing Shampoo for Soft, Shiny Hair - Gluten-Free

As a hairstylist, I’m very picky about color-depositing shampoos—especially for brunettes. Most either don’t do enough, dry the hair out, or stain your hands, nails, and shower. 👉 dpHUE Cool Brunette Shampoo genuinely impressed me. First thing I noticed was how soft it feels while shampooing. It has great slip and doesn’t leave the hair feeling stripped or tangled like some toning shampoos do. The biggest wins for me: ✔️ Tones down brassiness without over-darkening ✔️ Does NOT stain my hands or nails ✔️ Leaves hair smooth, not dry ✔️ Sulfate-free (important for maintaining keratin treatments) I personally get keratin treatments, so using a sulfate-free shampoo is non-negotiable—and this one lets me maintain tone without compromising that. I’ve used it on myself and clients, and it’s especially great for brunettes dealing with that warm/orange tone between appointments. Best for: Natural or color-treated brunettes Anyone maintaining a keratin treatment Fine to medium hair types Not ideal for: Very dry or coarse hair needing intense moisture Anyone expecting a dramatic color shift (this is subtle toning) Final verdict: This is one of the few brunette shampoos I would actually recommend. It’s effective, low-maintenance, and doesn’t come with the usual downsides.

Followed instructions for how long to leave on and paired it with the conditioner. Tried it 3 times now. Still not made a slight difference to the brassy look of my hair.

Removes the red tone from brown hair, great shampoo!

This seems like good quality stuff. I’m not sure it’s made any difference in my hair, however, and I’ve been using it 1-2x a week for a few months. Could be the wrong colour for me, not sure.

It took the red-orange tint out of my hair. I was worried it would stain my skin but it washes right off the skin. Lasted about a week.
