No purple shampoo? No problem. Keeping blonde hair brass and yellow-free is a tireless effort. The easiest way to keep it in shape is by using a toning shampoo or conditioner.

They have not been released yet, but I expect them to retail around $20. Get them at Aria or at www.raincosmetics.com on February 10th.
