Does your blonde, bleached or grey hair become more yellow over time than you’d like? Purple shampoo can help make your colour look fresher and cooler again.
MUVO Ultra Blonde Shampoo contains powerful purple pigments that neutralise unwanted yellow tones. But when it comes to silver shampoo, more isn’t always better.
The right processing time and frequency of use largely determine the result. Here’s how to use Ultra Blonde the right way.

What does silver shampoo do?
Purple shampoo is used to neutralise unwanted yellow tones in blonde, bleached, grey and highlighted hair.
It works according to the colour wheel: purple is opposite yellow. By adding purple pigments to the hair, a warm yellow cast can be visually softened, making blonde hair look cooler again.
When should you choose purple?
Do you mainly see yellow tones in blonde hair? Then purple shampoo is a natural choice. For orange tones in darker hair, a blue shampoo may be a better fit.

Tip: using Ultra Blonde for the first time? Start with a short processing time. You can always build up the result the next time you wash your hair.
How long should you leave silver shampoo on?
For MUVO Ultra Blonde, the recommended processing time is between 1 and 5 minutes.
The ideal time for your hair depends on your starting colour, how much yellow is in your hair and how porous your hair is.
| Desired result | Advice |
|---|---|
| A subtle refresh | Start at around 1 minute |
| Neutralise more yellow tones | Gradually increase the time |
| Maximum recommended processing time | 5 minutes |
How often should you use silver shampoo?
You don’t need to use Ultra Blonde every time you wash your hair. For colour maintenance, MUVO recommends using the shampoo about once or twice a week, or whenever you notice yellow tones starting to show again.
In between treatments, you can use a regular shampoo for coloured hair. This lets you control just how cool you want your blonde to be.
Prefer a softer beige blonde?
Not everyone wants a distinctly cool blonde shade. If you’re after a creamier or more beige blonde, MUVO Creamy Blonde is a better match.
Can silver shampoo turn your hair purple?
On very light, bleached or porous hair, purple pigments can become visible more quickly. Leaving the shampoo on for too long can therefore give your hair a lilac or purple cast.
That’s exactly why it’s best to start gradually and only increase the processing time when needed.
How to get the best results with Ultra Blonde
The ideal result is different for everyone. Some people only want to neutralise a subtle yellow cast, while others prefer a distinctly cool or ashy blonde.
So start with a short processing time, check the result and then adjust your routine. This gives you control over the shade without using more pigment than necessary.
