Ahh, Fanola - how we love you. If you’re a dedicated bottle blonde, you probably know all about their cult favourite No Yellow Shampoo. And if you’ve just gotten a fresh colour and want to know what the fuss is all about, welcome.
When you dye your hair, it’s a cardinal rule to have a good hair care routine. Why? Because it’s how you’ll maintain your colour between salon visits. Luckily, Fanola’s range of shampoos is exactly what you need. But what’s the difference between the Fanola No Orange Shampoo vs No Yellow shampoo and which one do you need?
We can help! Sit back, relax and get all the details on these two hair care essentials.
Overview:
Fanola No Orange Shampoo vs No Yellow
To understand the difference between the Fanola No Orange Shampoo vs No Yellow Shampoo, we must first take a look at the hair colour wheel. You’ve heard us talk about this before, but basically - colours that are on the opposite sides of each other on the colour wheel cancel each other out.
This is why you’ll often be told by hairdressers to invest in a good purple shampoo (aka the Fanola No Yellow) after dying your hair blonde. Over time, blonde hair can develop a brassy, yellow tone - whether from swimming in pools, over washing, environmental factors or just because of your natural hair colour. When you use a purple shampoo, the purple pigments cancel out these unwanted yellow tones and voila, you’ve got your gorgeous blonde back.
But what if your hair develops more of a red or orange tone? That’s where the Fanola No Orange comes in, because it’s a blue shampoo! Going back to the colour wheel analogy - blue cancels out unwanted orange and red tones. So, ipso facto, it’s perfect for darker blondes and brunettes.
We’ll go into each more of the shampoos a little more and how to use them, but just to repeat:
Fanola No Yellow Shampoo - for light blondes
So why does everyone obsess over this shampoo? Well, aside from the fact that it brings your blonde hair back to life and gets rid of brassy tones, it’s also incredibly good for your hair. Formulated with elastin proteins and amino acids, this shampoo works hard to strengthen and replenish your golden locks.
How to use
- Apply to wet hair and massage in.
- Leave for 1-5 minutes.
- Lather and rinse off (repeat if necessary).
- Follow up with the Fanola No Yellow Mask to make your hair extra soft and healthy.
Tip: use a glove if you don’t want to get stained hands!
