How Does No Orange Shampoo Work?
So, you’re probably thinking how can a blue shampoo possibly get rid of annoying copper and red reflections from the hair? First of all, the No Orange Shampoo contains a blue dye and a small amount of violet pigment. . Secondly, when you take a look at the colour wheel blue falls directly opposite to red and orange, which means that it eradicates any red or orange tones. Therefore lots of hairdressers love to use the shampoo as a pre-toner at the basin.
We recommend using a blue shampoo once a week, and then alternating it with another colour-safe shampoo to keep your hair looking salon fresh. Because, overuse of colour-depositing shampoos can lead to dry, damaged hair. So this is why we recommend using the No Orange Mask after shampooing. The mask is a must-have for maximum toning results and nourishes, hydrates, and disentangles the hair. It seals the cuticle, and as a result leaves the hair soft, silky and shiny.
A Step by Step Guide to Using Fanola No Orange Mask
- Use after washing your hair with the No Orange Shampoo.
- Keep on the gloves you used for applying your shampoo.
- Use on the lengths and ends of towel-dried hair.
- Leave the mask on for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Rinse hair ensuring no product is left behind.
Can I Use Blue Shampoo and Purple Shampoo Together?
The answer is yes, you can. For example, combining the No Orange and No Yellow Shampoo is great for the lighter blonde babes who want to achieve a clean blonde.
Firstly start by using the No Yellow Shampoo to eradicate any yellow tones in the hair, leave it on for 3 to 10 minutes depending on how yellow your hair is. After that rinse it off and then apply the No Orange Shampoo, again leaving it for 3 to 10 minutes. It will banish any leftover orange tones leaving you with an ashy, cool blonde.
Is Purple Shampoo More Suitable for My Hair?
Blue Shampoo isn’t for everyone, and your hair may be more suited to the No Yellow Shampoo. Purple shampoo is perfect for bleached, blonde, streaked and grey hair as the violet pigments in the shampoo help to wipe out any yellow tones in your hair leaving you with cool, bright, even locks. Overall, the No Yellow Shampoo works best for blondes who are a level 9 or higher, although it does tone the highlighted areas on levels, that are 8.5.

I have been using a purple-colored shampoo. It sometimes makes my gray hair look lavender. I have some yellow tones towards the front, that I want to be rid of. Do I want no yellow or no orange? Natural haircolor is med. brown with reddish tones. Been mostly gray for a year now. Help!
Hi Rebecca,
For grey hair with yellow tones we would would recommend our No Yellow Shampoo. The No Yellow Shampoo contains violet pigments that neutralise yellow tones in the hair. We recommend doing a strand test before using the product to check how long you need to leave the shampoo on for. We recommend 3-5 minutes. If you find that the violet pigments grab to your hair and leave it with a lavender tone then try mixing the shampoo with your normal shampoo to dilute the pigments.
Kindest,
Amy
