That moment I realized 6 months of purple shampoo did nothing for my brass
I've been using purple shampoo every single wash for like 6 months straight thinking it was fighting my brass. Then last weekend I did a quick toner at home with a Wella T18 and 20 volume developer and holy crap the difference was night and day. My hair went from brassy orange to an actual cool ash blonde in 25 minutes. Has anyone else wasted months on shampoo when they could've just toned properly?

Actually T18 with 20 volume is really strong stuff, you definitely don't want to do that every time because it can damage your hair over time. Purple shampoo is still useful for MAINTENANCE between toners if used right.

Used to think purple shampoo was the holy grail too, but this makes total sense.

Ngl I gotta push back on that one a bit. Purple shampoo actually saved my hair after I went full platinum blonde and it started turning into a weird yellow mess. Honestly most people just use it wrong, they leave it on way too long or use it every single wash when really you only need it like once a week. Tbh if you get a good quality one and use it right it can be a total game changer for keeping your color fresh and not looking all brassy. Maybe it's not a cure-all but it definitely has its place if you're careful with it.
