In this video, I’m walking you through my actual, no-fluff hair routine for platinum blond Asian hair—specifically how I do my purple shampoo “treatment” so my blonde stays icy and not brassy. It’s been a few days since I shampooed and about a week since I last purple shampooed, so you’re seeing the real process: I lightly wet my hair (not drenched), detangle with a wide-tooth comb, then go in with my favorite gentle purple shampoo. The whole point is simple—purple shampoo cancels out the yellow so your blonde looks more silver instead of… banana. I use NOOK “No Yellow” because it’s gentle and gives me good color payoff, and I leave it on for about 15 minutes (and yes, wear gloves). After rinsing, I always follow with Olaplex No.5 conditioner because chemically treated hair needs that manageability—this is the one product I consider a must-have from the line. Then I towel dry, add Olaplex No.7 bonding oil on the ends when I have the willpower (bonus: heat protection), and finish with Olaplex No.6 as my styling cream to smooth flyaways and help the hair sit how I want. End result: a slightly lilac, less brassy blonde that feels way softer and silkier.
