I think I do like the joico color balancing purple shampoo. I have used it like 5xs I think that it does take some of the brassiness away,but I think I'll need something alittle better. Is there anything that you recommend? Overall this shampoo and conditioner is great and I recommend it. The biosilk that I purchased with it,I am 100% satisfied. I love biosilk silk therapy I have been using it since I was 15 or 16 I am now 46.i swear by this product
