Attention blondes (and brunettes): You need this shampoo!

Now that I’m back to blonde, a purple shampoo is a must to keep my color bright and minimize brassiness. These targeted color-specific cleansers definitely get the job done, but the main  drawback is that they are generally one-size-fits all, and I have other hair concerns that I’d like to address while I wash. For starters, anything to help reduce oil on my scalp so I can stretch time between shampoos is a major plus. Frizz protection comes in handy since I live in South Florida, too, as extra hydration to prevent my strands from turning into straw. I know this is a lot to ask of a shampoo, but my wishes have been granted with Function of Beauty’s new purple shampoo.

In case you’re not familiar with this innovative haircare line, they let you customize your shampoo and conditioner for your specific hair concerns. Choose up to five hair goals (i.e. straighten, curl definition, shine, anti-frizz, volumize, etc.) from a list of 16, select one of five scents (and three fragrance strengths) and pick a color (for non-purple shampoo and conditioners)—and they’ll also put your name or a formula nickname of your choosing on the bottle. (Which is especially helpful if you like to alternate between multiple formulas.)
