Philip Kingsley Pure Blonde Booster Shampoo Masque Review

Going forth I'm going to make more than a conscious effort to ditch the terms "obsessed" and "the best" in regards to beauty products. Although in the heat of the moment, I do indeed mean what I say, it can however be deceptive when in a few months time said "best ever shampoo" is replaced with something bigger and better - or perhaps of the same standing but more affordable. Rather from here on out, I'm simply going to provide you with thorough reviews and how you personally rate such product is entirely at your own discretion. Cool? Cool.

This leads me to the new Philip Kingsley Pure Blonde Booster Shampoo and Masque that has more than impressed me. As a blonde both naturally and at the hands of a skilled colourist (I get a lot of bleach highlights), I'm no stranger to the magic that is a purple based hair care routine. At the risk of sounding dramatic, much to my great disparity, my hair has a tendency to turn brassy and quickly too. I've trialled several products aimed at this issue with varying degrees of success but outwith the salon very few offered long lasting results. Sure most left my hair clean but as for their toning properties, well let's just say on the most part it was questionable.

Provoke Touch Of Silver gets the job done in a pinch; cheap, cheerful but a little on the drying side. Another great budget offering is that L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Purple Shampoo which I find works best when used regularly (as in every wash) but isn't as intense as I need it to be, especially if it has been months in-between salon visits. Up until the launch of  Philip Kingsley Pure Blonde Booster Shampoo and Masque, I would regularly rate and recommend Osmo Super Silver range - a slightly tricky brand to track down on the highstreet but easily found on Amazon. Again affordable with a fairly extensive range of products but admittedly the shampoo isn't the best at cleansing the hair, requiring excessive amounts to get the job done.

Philip Kingsley Pure Blonde Booster range features a deep violet shampoo and a silver-ising hair masque - spoiler, although the conditioner is wonderful, the shampoo is the real star of the show. From the first wash, Pure Blonde instantly pairs back yellow tones without stripping the hair of moisture using micro-pigments and is almost (and I do say almost) as effective as an at home hair toner.

The sheer brilliance of Philip Kingsley Pure Blonde Booster Shampoo is that a little goes a long way and as it is so concentrated you only have to use the shampoo once a week. There's purple shampoo's and then there is Philip Kingsley Shampoo; a product so souped up that if your hair is porous and very recently bleached, I recommend rinsing off almost immediately to prevent staining. For those like myself who perhaps skip touching up their roots more frequently than they should, this will quickly have pride of place within your shower. As for the Philip Kingsley Pure Blonde Hair Masque, it is light yet highly moisturising and does offer a small toning quality; in all truthfulness I have yet to find a "purple" conditioner that lives up to my expectations so going forth, I will more than likely only repurchase the Pure Blonde shampoo.


Someone once told me that you can't preserve £150 highlights with a £2 shampoo, which I thought with utter nonsense but given how quickly this resolved my yellowing locks, I guess I'm willing to be proven wrong.
