Total Results Brass Off is the first shampoo I've used that fully protects my hair while maintaining color. There is nothing worse than when my blonde turns to brass and I will never use another comparable shampoo again - Brass Off works MAGIC!

A must-have for blondes – tones brassiness and lea
10 months ago
I used the Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo when I was blonde, and it worked wonders on my hair. The packaging is sleek and professional, easy to use and doesn’t leak. The texture is rich and smooth, spreading evenly through the hair. Its effectiveness really impressed me – it neutralized the brassy, orange tones and kept my blonde looking cool and fresh. I noticed results after just a few washes. The scent is clean and slightly floral, not overpowering at all. For the quality and salon-level results it delivers, the price is absolutely worth it. It became a staple in my routine while I had lightened hair.

Takes away the brassiness
11 months ago
This is hands down one of my favorite purple shampoos for when I get my hair done just to get rid of that ugly brassiness that I get after a fresh blonde treatment. Matrix so far is the only brand I purchase that always gets most of that brassiness out of my hair and for the amount you get in each bottle you can’t go wrong. All in all you don’t have to use a lot of this shampoo to get the desired look taken care of so my bottle usually last me a few months before having to repurchase so in my opinion the price is totally justified. I highly recommend this shampoo over any other brand

I'm so sad. This product is meant for brunettes with orange tones that they'd like to neutralise. For example brunettes who've boxed dyed their hair brown and there are ginger warm tones left behind (like myself). Knowing a little bit about colour theory, I know that purple shampoo is for blondes, wanting to get rid of the yellow tones. Blue shampoo is for orange tones. This shampoo is just completely purple. There's nothing blue about it. Therefore it won't work on my hair at all because i'm not blonde. I have orange/red undertones from old box dye, and purple shampoo doesn't neutralise the colour orange. You can't write blue shampoo on the front of the bottle if it's literally just another purple shampoo. This forumla needs to improve, there are other blue shampoos on the market so it is possible to add blue dyes instead of purple. *Photos of my hair are before use, to demonstrate the orange tones that blue shampoo should neutralise*
No, I do not recommend this product.

Brass off: It worked!! Love it

I love it!
I was hopeless, after the hairdresser used - without asking, a chocolate brown glossing on my natural ash-middle blond hair. After 8 weeks now it was not washed out as he promised. NO! Instead my hair was getting more and more orange- as i was affraid of anyway!
After one single use now- look at the results!
I am happy!

I’ve washed and conditioned my hair 3 times in the past two weeks with Brass Off shampoo/conditioner and the orange and brassy tint remains. I even left the shampoo in for several minutes. Very disappointing and a waste of money. I have not one star because it smells nice.

I just bought this today and I already love it. It smells amazing, makes my hair softer than when i use my normal shampoo, and totally takes the brassy color out. Can’t wait to see its full potential over time. I took before and after pictures and although the before is dirty oily hair and the after is freshly blown out you can totally see the difference in color!

I absolutely love the brass off conditioner. A little goes a long way and it lathered very well. My hair feels soft and oh so clean with the perfect tone even without the rest of the system. It smells good and rinses easily to. Overall satisfied with the shampoo and will be using regularly.

Be gone brassiness
3 years ago
The shampoo, conditioner, and spray work together to help get rid of brassiness in brunette hair color. I have seen stuff for blonds but this is the first time I’ve seen something for brunettes. The only drawback is the color is quite blue so be sure to watch where you wash your hair and clean up after yourself when your done. This does a great job of taking the brass tones out of your hair especially for those of us who have hard water.

Salon freshed
3 years ago
This shampoo is perfect for keeping my ombre looking non-brassy and salon fresh. It could leave your hair a little purple if you don’t wash it out well enough. It’s also not as hydrating however paired with the condition and they are the perfect combo! This isn’t a miracle overnight, but you can see the difference it makes on the first wash. It was after wash #3 that my brassy hair was about 90% gone.

I proved one of the girls in my salon was lying to customers by switching products between bottles into Matrix bottles, only to charge way more money for her services....as do most salons today, unfortunately. I bought a new bottle of Matrix Brass Off and offered to show employees and customers the results. After following directions the results were horrifying to say in the least...Not only was my hair showing more brassiness than at least 3 shades of tone from the start, my hair was noticeably weighted down and dry. A Husk deep conditioning purple pack followed by Shimmering Lights Shampoo and Conditioner did the trick and restored my hairs beautiful tones after two treatments. Needless to say the girl knows we are all on to her switching products and is only a matter of time before she is dismissed or quits from her chair. Horrible product, Matrix...horrible.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Amazing shampoo
3 years ago
When using the shampoo it’s recommended to only leave in your hair for 3 to 5 minutes since I’m times we think that he leave it a longer it will have a different effect but the shampoo is strong enough to only use for the recommended time you will be happy with the results after… You will see all the warmth come out of your hair… In the first picture you see more of an orangey brassy look in the second picture you see a cool blonde versus a warm blonde and just like that toned hair!

Matrix Anti Brass Shampoo

I was a little nervous when I saw this shampoo bc it is much brighter than other purple shampoos I’ve tried before. I was afraid I’d end up with purple strands, which has happened with other brands. But- I was pleasantly surprised by the whole line. The shampoo feels a little drying but the conditioner and toning spray are moisturizing. I would get this again. It is a little staining in the shower though.

I really enjoyed the smell of this product. A little goes a long way so it seems to last forever. I always wash twice with shampoo to really ensure my hair gets clean and gets the full effect of the shampoo. I have not noticed any brassiness to my hair since using this shampoo. When pairing it with the conditioner, you're guaranteed to have beautiful blonde locks!

Not suited for my hair

I have straight fine hair and like products that give me some volume. This shampoo did not do that for me. It left my hair flat and limp and feeling more cottony than silky. It did help preserve my color (not a natural blond), but I cannot recommend for people with my hair type.

I've used this for a couple weeks now and I've noticed my hair is shinier. While using this shampoo I've also noticed my hair is very clean, and I mean clean. I feel like it removed all the residue I have had from products that caused my color to be dull. If you're any shade of blonde, I highly recommend this shampoo

Ok but

This shampoo looks like it would be blue, great for if your hair is more orange (purple shampoo is only for yellow tones.) Unfortunately this is fairly purple still, leaving the warm tones behind.
Next, even though this is enough to almost stain my hands, it’s takes almost daily use to see any real help on my hair.
Lastly, this contains silicone which destroys my hair. Sad that such a high end brand still relies on silicones.
