dpHUE Cool Brunette Shampoo — 8.5 oz blue-pigment formula to neutralize orange, red & brass for color-safe shine

dpHUE Cool Brunette Shampoo is a pigment-rich cleansing formula that uses blue tones to neutralize unwanted orange, red and brassy hues in brown hair while adding softness and shine.

If your brunette color drifts warm between salon visits, this sulfate-free shampoo offers an easy at-home fix. Formulated with blue color-correcting pigments, silk proteins and hibiscus extract, it cleanses gently without stripping color. The result is a cooler, more even brown tone with improved manageability and visible luminosity, suitable for regular maintenance or occasional toning treatments.

How does dpHUE Cool Brunette remove brassiness without damaging color?

The shampoo deposits blue pigments during cleansing to counteract orange and red undertones, rather than using harsh bleaching or stripping agents. Its sulfate-free surfactants are milder on dyed hair, and silk proteins help reinforce strand strength and softness.

• Blue pigments neutralize warm tones as the product lathers.
• Sulfate-free formula preserves color vibrancy over time.
• Silk proteins reduce breakage and smooth the hair surface.
• Hibiscus extract promotes added shine and brightness.

When and how often should I use the shampoo for best results?

Frequency depends on your brassiness level and styling routine: use it from twice a week up to once every other week for routine maintenance. For a stronger toning effect, leave the shampoo on damp hair for up to five minutes before rinsing.

• Light maintenance: use once every 1–2 weeks.
• Frequent warmth: use up to twice weekly until tone evens out.
• Intensify results: leave on for up to five minutes, then rinse.
• Follow with dpHUE Cool Brunette Conditioner for balanced moisture.

Will this work with highlighted or naturally variable brunette shades?

Cool Brunette is formulated specifically for brown hair. If you have brown hair with blonde highlights or a lot of lighter pieces, the blue pigments may tone those highlights differently—dpHUE recommends choosing Cool Blonde products for predominantly highlighted looks.

• Ideal for solid brown shades and lowlighted brunettes.
• Use cautiously on mixed blonde/brown hair to avoid unwanted cool tones on highlights.
• Pair with matching dpHUE conditioners to balance pigment and moisture.
• Safe to mix into your routine alongside other color-safe products.

Is the formula gentle and free of harsh ingredients?

Yes. This shampoo avoids common harsh sulfates (SLS & SLES) and parabens, making it a gentler option for color-treated hair. It also carries Leaping Bunny certification, indicating cruelty-free practices, and is designed to cleanse without over-drying.

• Paraben-free and free of SLS & SLES sulfates.
• Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free standard.
• Contains conditioning silk proteins and hibiscus extract for shine.
• Color-safe cleansing that minimizes fading when used as directed.

Who is this for: dpHUE Cool Brunette Shampoo is best for people with brown hair who want to reduce orange, red or brassy tones between color appointments without aggressive stripping. It suits color-treated and natural brunettes looking to maintain a cooler, more consistent shade while improving softness and shine. If your hair includes significant blonde highlights, consider dpHUE Cool Blonde products instead to avoid over-cooling lighter sections.
