If you decide to use a demi-permanent dye to fill your hair, use a shade that's at least one level lighter than your desired brown hair. You can dye your hair a neutral or warm brown after filling it with a copper or red shade.

Yes, purple shampoo could be making your blonde look darker — but don't worry, it's fixable. While the violet tones in purple shampoos can help bring blonde back to life, it does this by adding more toner; in effect, covering up the mineral coating on the hair cuticle.
First things first: Blue shampoo is kind of like color-correcting makeup for brunette hair. Each time you lather up, your blue shampoo will deposit blue pigments that help neutralize brassy orange tones in your brown hair, leaving it brighter, cooler, and fresher-looking.
Olive Oil Is A Dark Oil

The color: Use terms such as "soft blonde" and "subtle shades" so the colorist knows to avoid brightening your hue and instead sticks to a more natural color.

What is silver shampoo and what does it do? Also known as a purple shampoo, silver shampoo contains a deep purple pigment that acts as an anti-yellowing agent to counteract hair brassiness. This neutralises strong yellow tones in artificially blonde, grey or silver hair, helping you maintain a beautiful cool colour.
Keep the shampoo in for 30 minutes for gray, silver, or platinum hair. Keep the shampoo in your hair for up to half an hour before rinsing, depending on how stained or brassy your hair is. Unlike using purple shampoo on darker blonde hair, the goal with platinum or silver hair is to remove the warm tones entirely.
The violet pigments in the shampoo work to neutralize the yellow, brassy pigments in blonde hair. Using purple shampoo will result in your color looking more cool-toned, with pale-beige's and brighter blondes. For gray hair, it leaves it looking dimensional and vibrant.
Purple shampoo neutralizes warm tones in blonde/light hair by depositing cool, violet pigment. Purple shampoo can be used as a regular shampoo, or as an intensive treatment by applying it generously to dry hair.
