A product hair salons don't want you to know about! Apr 15, 2009
By C. ONeill
I just used this Aveda Blue Malva Conditioner on my color treated (by me) highlighted grey/blond hair. It's a miracle. My hair was very brassy and I was sure I was headed back to the hair salon for help. I first just used it as a regular conditioner. After shampooing I left it in a few minutes and rinsed out. Not so great. Next day I used it on dry hair and let it set a half hour and rinsed it out. It completely toned the brassy color to a pale blond. I can't recommend this product too highly.

I was a skeptic...but now I'm a believer. Mar 25, 2012
By Jordan Qu
"Words-at-war"
I am not a natural blonde and I bleach nearly black hair to pale blonde every once in a while and brassiness is always a pain to deal with, even when I use L'Oreal Paris Colorist Secrets Brass Banisher Hair Treatment, it turns brassy pretty quickly. In the past, I'd tried Clairol Shimmer Lights Original Conditioning Shampoo (which smells terrible but does a fairly good job and mid-line priced), John Frieda Sheer Blonde Color Renew Tone, Restoring Shampoo, 8.45 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 2) (which doesn't work at all and at 7-10 bucks, you get what you paid for...), then Joico Color Endure Shampoo, 10-ounce (which didn't so much get rid of my brassiness but made it even throughout, but it's highly recommended to use the conditioner and it's a bit pricey). I'd heard of Aveda's Blue Malva shampoo/conditioner but it had me cringing at the price--the 33 oz (the only size it comes in) is a whopping 50 bucks while the conditioner ranges from 20-30 bucks for 8.5 oz. I've tried other brands, mostly salon brand products, and while each did an okay job, the price and the end result didn't really impress me. Until now.
Keep in mind, that depending on the product, you either need the shampoo OR conditioner and depending on the product, you use either every few days or once a week. If you use it every few days, you leave it in for 2-5 minutes each time but if you use the shampoo in conjunction with the matching conditioner, you're doing that same routine just in a different format. If you use the shampoo OR conditioner, once a week, and you leave it in for a lot longer, say, 10-30 min and sometimes using a plastic cap to help things along, it all evens out to be about the same in terms of timing and how long the product is in your hair. Ultimately, it's really about finding a balance for your own hair type and seeing how the product takes to your hair. Some people need to be more aggressive while others get away with using a brass banisher sparingly. Also, the major issue in using any brass banisher, be it in a shampoo/conditioner duo or something like L'Oreal's Brass Banisher, is...the dreaded dry, straw-like hair. Shimmer Lights dried out my hair, a lot. John Frieda, well, since it didn't do anything for my brassiness, dryness wasn't a major issue. Joico tended to dry out of my hair but not like Shimmer Lights and Aveda's Blue Malva leaves my hair a little dry but as long as I use a moisturize rich hair mask or conditioner specifically made for color-treated hair, it feels okay. Since I bleach my hair, the over-processing will always leave my hair a bit on the dry side but Aveda's conditioner doesn't leave it feeling like it's about to snap in two. Again, hair masks are a must, even if whatever product you use doesn't suck all the moisture from your hair.
So, okay, the price still has me cringe and I go through the Aveda Blue Malva Conditioner like crazy but folks, this stuff WORKS, every time and without fail. The other products I've used have never truly gotten rid of the brass, just faded it out and didn't really banish it. I use the Blue Malva condition every 8-12 days and leave it in for 45-60 minutes and my hair is BRASS FREE. Some get that nice ashy-silver tone to their hair but I only get that on finer parts of my hair around my hairline. In the end, having something that I can just grab from the shower, leave it and gets rid of that ugly orange-y hue, even if only for a week at a time, is sooooo worth every penny. I plan on buying the shampoo soon and using both. Five stars and THEN some!

Best conditioner for Blonde/Silver/Gray Hair Oct 23, 2006
By Grey Wolf
This product along with the Blue Malva Shampoo provide the best results for removing brassiness from blonde and yellow from gray hair, while leaving hair soft, strong and silky with a healthy shimmer. I've tried many products while transitioning from dyed blonde to silver/gray but have yet to find any that top Aveda's. Aveda is also an amazing company that puts people and the environment ahead of profit.
