Joico Color Balance Blue Shampoo is a tone-correcting cleanser that cools brassy, orange tones fast.
This rich blue shampoo deposits blue pigments as you wash, helping to neutralise warm, coppery shades in lightened brown hair. It gently cleanses without stripping, so your colour looks fresher for longer.
The texture is creamy with a smooth lather that feels cushioning on the scalp. It rinses cleanly, leaving hair feeling light, not coated, with a soft salon-fresh scent.
Perfect for highlighted brunettes, balayage, or lightened dark hair that turns too warm between salon visits. Use a few times a week or as needed to keep colour looking cool.
Hair looks more polished, deeper in tone, and easier to style, so your colour feels more intentional and less “faded”.
How To Use Joico Color Balance Blue Shampoo
- Wet hair thoroughly with warm water
- Apply a small amount of shampoo and massage into scalp and lengths
- Leave on for 1–3 minutes, watching tone the first few uses
- Rinse well until water runs clear
- Follow with a nourishing conditioner, focusing on mid-lengths and ends
- Use 2–3 times per week, or as needed to control warmth
