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.
