TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.0*
Why it's great: DryBar's new Blonde Ale purple shampoo has become a TotalBeauty favorite. Not only is the packaging adorable, the formula itself works to tone brassy blonde hair in just one use.

For extreme yellow tones, apply the product to wet hair, leave it on for 30-45 minutes, rinse, and you'll find an impressively brighter, toned-down color. Better yet, the product doesn't have the strong smell of other purple shampoos. For those with blonde highlights, it's an essential.

Despite the hefty price tag, reviewers are impressed with the shampoo's ability to "make hair shiny and bring out the blonde," while keeping "color fresh" and "hair [texture] soft."

"It is fantastic for my highlighted blonde hair," says a reviewer. "Doesn't dry it out like most other shampoos, yet it doesn't leave it flat.... Nice smell, too."

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.3*
Why it's great: Out of all the purple shampoos on the market, this one make it to the top of the list for one simple reason: Everyone who uses it notices real results. Reviewers say the product "does exactly what it says it's going to do" -- it allows their blonde color to "stay bright, with no brassiness and no fading."

Even reviewers with superlight-colored hair find that the product both brightens their color and improves their hair texture. "After one single use ... it makes [hair] look blonder, brighter and more natural, almost like I've been out in the sun on vacation," one reviewer writes. "It adds tons of moisture ... [and] also makes my hair thick and voluminous, yet soft and tangle-free."
