OLAPLEX® Nº.4P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Shampoo vs. Nº.5P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Conditioner: What's the Difference?

Are you wondering about the difference between purple shampoo and purple conditioner? You've come to the right place. Discover the Nº.4P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Shampoo and the Nº.5P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Conditioner, and see how these two products work together to revive the radiance of blonde, lightened, and gray hair.

Purple Shampoo vs. Purple Conditioner

The Nº.4P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Shampoo is a purple shampoo that gently cleanses, neutralizes unwanted tones, and repairs hair, while keeping it hydrated from roots to ends. Purple shampoos like Nº.4P contain purple toning agents that help preserve radiance and balance hair tone. If you notice yellow or brassy tones in your blonde or gray hair, you can say goodbye to them.

The Nº.5P Blonde Enhancer™ Toning Conditioner also contains purple toning agents to neutralize yellow or brassy tones. But unlike Nº.4P, it contains shea butter in a lightweight formula that helps rehydrate, nourish, and detangle hair. You can also count on Nº.5P to hydrate, smooth, and add shine to your hair.

So, what's the difference between these two products if they both revive radiance and reduce unwanted tones? Purple shampoo, like Nº.4P, helps cleanse blonde or gray hair, while purple conditioner, like Nº.5P, provides additional hydration and softness.

Should I use Nº.4P and Nº.5P together?

Used alone, Nº.4P neutralizes yellow and brassy tones, while repairing, strengthening, and hydrating hair. On the other hand, Nº.5P revives radiance, reduces unwanted tones, and adds shine. Used together, they lead to brighter, less dull hair, from roots to ends.

For best results, it is recommended to use Nº.4P and Nº.5P together, as a complete routine. Used as a duo, Nº.4P and Nº.5P are clinically proven to tone, strengthen, and smooth hair, for hair that is brighter, 89% smoother, and with 52% less breakage after just one use.* You might also notice a 53% reduction in brassiness after just one use.* And if more proof were needed that they are meant to work together, 91% of women who participated in a study and used Nº.4P and Nº.5P as a routine said their hair was less brassy.**

Do you use purple shampoo before or after conditioner?

As with a classic shampoo and conditioner, purple shampoo is used before purple conditioner.

To use Nº.4P, apply it to wet hair, lather completely, and leave on for 1 to 3 minutes. For a more intense toning action, you can leave it on for up to 5 minutes.

Follow with Nº.5P, applying from roots to ends for optimal toning results. Leave on for 1 to 3 minutes, then rinse.

You can use Nº.4P and Nº.5P 1 to 2 times a week, or as needed. For even more hydration, finish with the Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask.

Nº.4P and Nº.5P are essentials for natural blonde, color-treated blonde, or silver hair. Discover also how purple shampoos work or explore more products for blonde hair care.
