Fair/light color shades (blonde, gray, white, highlights); for all hair types and textures

Color Control Toning & Styling Foam is a light-lavender-tinted foam that instantly helps neutralize brassy tones and helps rid fair hair shades (blonde, grey, white) of unwanted yellow-y tones. 

Unlike dark purple shampoos that leave inky stains and are massaged into your scalp, this foam is a cleaner, easier, healthier option to keep blonde hair looking crisp and bright. 

A quantum leap from sticky, old-fashioned mousse that make your hair stiff and crispy, this “smart foam” uses “rosins” (a natural, rubber-like substance derived from trees) and not typical “resins” (stiff, acrylic polymers) to give your hair soft, flexible texture to make styling easier and protect against breakage.

    Going Platinum!

    I’ve always used the blue styling foam now that it’s discontinued I’ve decided to try the purple now that i’ve decided to go natural & let my gray grow out I needed this & it’s beautiful! Blends the gray w/ my darker hair better! This one don't smell as pleasant as the blue but for the results it’s easily excused & not like the smell is lasting once applied! I will continue to buy this always! It will help bring out the brilliant hues as I go Platinum!

    Fab product

    I’m a blonde who hates brassy tones. I have tried so many purple shampoos from many different brands, which have always left my hair far too ashy. This product is amazing. The soft lilac in the foam just takes the edge off the brass. I love that it can be used on wet or dry hair so you can control clearly how much you are toning down the brassiness. Truly revolutionary. Also for those blessed with fine hair who struggle with products too heavy, well this won’t weigh your hair down or make it sticky.

    Just tried once, but like it.

    Adds body, helps keep brassiness at bay. Forgot to use it when wet. looking forward to trying it again, and styling with it.
