Do hair color shampoos that are lighter than the hair have any effect at all?

Ihave drak brown to black hair with medium brwn highlits. If I by a color shampoo that is lighter, like blond or light brown, will it make any difference on my hair at all? or is it that only the shampoos that are darker than hair do have any effect?





I'm not interested in permanent colring.Do hair color shampoos that are lighter than the hair have any effect at all?
no they don't have any lifting power....if your hair is very porous meaning dry damaged it might take to the color and really soak it up but their is no chance that you could become lighter in color only darkerDo hair color shampoos that are lighter than the hair have any effect at all?
color shampoos only enhance the color you have


for blonde's it could change brassiness by using a blue shampoo


redheads and brunettes using a reddening shampoo can make it shinier





if you are looking to do a little change with your color.. try to use a color mousse after you wash and condition your hair


it won't make it blonder.. but you can add a slight red cast to your hair that is pretty on darker hair





and it washes out
NO Im sorry. I have actually tried this b/c my hair is about the same as your (dark, dark brown w/ red highlights) You might want to try a temp color that washes out in about 10 washes or a demi permenant that fades away in about 3months that way you dont have to wait for it to grow off, which takes forever
The only way for your shampoo to lighten your hair would be if you are using a bad shampoo...aka a cheap shampoo.
No, those shampoos don't have much effect at all.


They're really bad shampoos because they actually include oil in their formula, which makes your hair greasy before you even step out of the shower. Who wants that?
