The month ends on an upward note, as Sagittarius Season begins November 21, and Mercury Retrograde wraps up by November 29. You may feel like a fog is lifting, and suddenly the big picture makes sense again. Venus joins Sagittarius on November 30, sprinkling blessings over your long-term goals, education, and spiritual path. You’re not the same Aries you were at the start of the month; you’re deeper, wiser, and more attuned to what motivates you from the inside out. You didn’t just rise from the ashes. You studied the fire, danced with it, and now you’re ready to use it to light up the next chapter of your life.

Glamour: How do you feel after tonight’s show?
Nicolle Kate Briscoe: I’m still processing a little bit, but all in all, I feel good. It allowed all the women to express themselves and tell me how they feel, and that’s valid. We may have experienced things differently, but everyone’s entitled to express themselves in any way that they feel is necessary.
How was that for you, hearing what Debbie had to say?
Debbie and I are very good friends. I said, “Debbie, come on.” I didn’t think that was necessary. Everybody had already said basically what she was saying, and she didn’t need to repeat it. If she needed to say that to me, she could have said that to me separately. That was the only part that I had a problem with. I didn’t have a problem with anybody else. I mean, Amy, to be honest, wasn’t even in the house with me very much. So I don’t really think she had enough information firsthand to say anything. But Terri, I have a lot of respect for. And I like Robin. Robin is fine.
You and Debbie appeared to exchange words in the commercial break. What did you say to her?
I said, “Debbie, I love you, but that was really unnecessary.” She said it was necessary. I said, “Well, it wasn’t necessary like that. There were so many positive things about our friendship. You could have said something nice, and then sandwiched it with something negative and ended with something nice. That is how you are supposed to do it.” She said, “You are right. You are right.” I think she was very emotional tonight, to be honest. I understand that, and I forgive her.
I thought she was very valid with all of her points, and I also commend you for the way you handled it and said, “I will do better and I will try.”

For anyone with lightened, bleached, or gray hair who wants to maintain a cooler tone, the best purple shampoos are a “smart, low effort way to keep blonde and silver hair fresh, bright, and salon-worthy between appointments,” says celebrity hairstylist Ricky Mota. It’s science meets color theory: The violet and purple pigments work to neutralize unwanted yellow and brassy tones in blonde, platinum, white, or gray hair.
Vogue’s Favorite Purple Shampoo
The thing is, there’s an art to choosing the right option for you—the wrong purple shampoo can dry out your strands, so it’s worth investing in a high-quality, nourishing formula. Plus, moderation is key—use it too often, and you risk veering into violet territory.
Ahead, everything you need to know about using and choosing the best purple shampoo; plus, Vogue’s favorite formulas to keep color bright and cool-toned, refresh highlights between salon visits, and help reduce brassiness from sun or heat exposure.
In This Story:
Best Overall: Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Purple Shampoo
Kérastase
Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Purple Shampoo
- Why We Love It: For maximum hydration, Kérastase’s Blond Absolu formula is supercharged with hyaluronic acid, while highly-concentrated deep purple pigments restore blonde and gray shades to their original hue. The addition of edelweiss extract boosts both moisture and shine, according to Mota. Though it’s on the pricier side, you’ll only need to use it once a week, so a single bottle should last a while. The brand recommends leaving it on for at least two minutes (or longer, depending on how much you want to tone down brassiness). for best results
- Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, edelweiss flower, ultra-violet neutralizers
- Best For: Blonde hair, grey hair
- Size: 250 mL
Best for All Hair Types: Dae Violet Hour Purple Shampoo
Dae
Violet Hour Purple Shampoo
- Why We Love It: No matter your hair type, whether straight, wavy, curly, or coily, Dae’s Violet Hour Purple Shampoo effectively tones down brassiness while nourishing strands with botanical ingredients like quinoa protein and cactus flower. According to celebrity colorist Rita Hazan, “It’s sulfate-free, vegan, and has a pleasant citrus scent, leaving blonde, gray, or lightened hair bright without drying it out.” However, she cautions that using it too often or leaving it on for too long can result in a slight purple tint.
- Key Ingredients: Cactus flower extract, quinoa protein, moringa leaf extract
- Best For: Blonde, gray, and lightened brunette hair
- Size: 300 mL
Best for Bond Repair: Olaplex No.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Purple Shampoo

Best used two to three times per week, this works well on both natural blondes and grays, as well as highlighted and chemically-treated strands. It comes in two sizes, 250 mL and 1000 mL, so if you opt for the larger one, you’ll never have to worry about running out. Plus, complete the regimen with Olaplex’s purple toning conditioner to ensure hair looks shiny and balanced after each wash day.

A drugstore favorite, L’Oréal’s sulfate-free EverPure formula protects color with just the right amount of purple pigments, while hair-loving hibiscus, which is rich in vitamin C, helps boost hair growth and retention. Mota calls it a “great affordable option,” noting that it’s “sulfate-free and easy for weekly maintenance.” It’s not just for true blondes either, as it helps neutralize brassy yellow and orange tones in blonde, bleached, highlighted, and silver hair.

Leonor Greyl
Soin Repigmentant Icy Blonde
- Why We Love It: To hydrate extra-parched dry hair, Leonor Greyl’s brightening purple conditioning treatment is infused with meadowfoam seed oil, rice proteins, and babassu butter. Mota notes that it’s technically more of a conditioning treatment than a shampoo, describing it as a “natural, nourishing pigment treatment that tones and softens.” After shampooing, work it through the scalp to the ends and leave on for two to five minutes weekly to remove yellow tones, enhance color, and neutralize very light blonde to blonde hair.
- Key Ingredients: Meadowfoam oil, almond extract, babassu oil
- Best For: Blonde hair
- Size: 200 mL
Best for Damaged Hair: dpHUE Cool Blonde Shampoo
- Why We Love It: To keep your blonde fresh and cool, dpHUE’s gentle cleanser is infused with purple pigments and nourishing ingredients like silk proteins to improve elasticity and prevent breakage. While some purple shampoos can be quite harsh, Mota says this one leans the other way, describing it as “effective yet gentle.” The trick is to leave it on for up to five minutes, then follow with the brand’s Cool Blonde Conditioner once a week to keep hair looking bright and free of brassiness.
- Key Ingredients: Purple pigments, silk proteins
- Best For: Cool blonde hair
- Size: 250 mL
Best for Brassy Hair: Amika Bust Your Brass Shampoo
- Why We Love It: “Amika Bust Your Brass Shampoo is a salon-quality purple shampoo designed to neutralize brassiness in blonde, silver, and gray hair,” says Hazan. It’s infused with nourishing ingredients like quinoa protein and plant butters to help strengthen and hydrate while toning unwanted warm tones. “The shampoo’s violet pigments effectively counteract yellow and orange hues, leaving hair with a cooler, more vibrant appearance.” It also leaves behind a fresh scent of pink grapefruit, apricot, and warm vanilla, turning the chore of wash day into a more indulgent ritual.
- Key Ingredients: Ultra-violet pigments, quinoa protein
- Best For: Yellow and brassy tones
- Size: 275 mL
Best Smoothing: Nexxus Blonde Assure Shampoo
- Why We Love It: Nexxus Blonde Assure Purple Shampoo is a powerful yet gentle way to keep blonde, silver, and bleached hair looking fresh and vibrant, says Hazan. “Since it has keratin protein and violet pigments, it effectively neutralizes unwanted brassiness while helping to strengthen and smooth the hair. It does contain sulfates, which can be drying if overused, so make sure to follow with a rich conditioner to keep hair healthy and hydrated.” It also has a light citrus scent that lingers throughout the day, making it an easy way to fish for compliments.
- Key Ingredients: Glycerin, hydrolyzed keratin
- Best For: Blonde, silver, platinum hair
- Size: 251 mL
Everything You Need to Know
According to Hazan, “Purple shampoo is a toning shampoo infused with violet pigments designed to cancel out unwanted yellow or brassy tones in blonde, silver, gray, or white hair.” Since purple sits opposite yellow on the color wheel, it neutralizes warmth and keeps light-colored hair looking cool and fresh between salon visits. “It won’t dye your hair purple,” she adds. “Instead, it subtly tones and enhances your color without leaving behind a purple tint when used properly.”
The Benefits of Purple Shampoo
When used sparingly, purple shampoo can deliver a range of benefits. Hazan explains that it helps neutralize yellow and brassy tones, prolong salon color results, enhance shine and brightness, and allow for gentle maintenance between appointments. It also works for both natural and color-treated hair and is especially effective for white or gray hair that has started to yellow. “It removes that hollow tint, leaving white hair crisp and clean-looking,” she says.
Who should use purple shampoo?
Hazan says purple shampoo is ideal for natural or dyed blondes (especially platinum, ash, or icy tones), people with silver, gray, or white hair, those with blonde highlights or balayage, and anyone experiencing yellowing from sun exposure, pollution, or hard water. “It’s generally not needed for darker hair unless there are lighter pieces that need toning,” she explains.
What is the downside of purple shampoo?
“Using purple shampoo too often or leaving it on too long can result in a dull, grayish, or even purple tint, especially on very light or porous hair,” says Hazan. “Too much purple shampoo will dull your hair, leaving it not only an odd color but also lacking shine,” she adds. Overuse can also cause dryness, so Mota recommends using it only once or twice a week and always following with a hydrating conditioner.
How to Use Purple Shampoo
To use a purple shampoo, wet the hair and lather on the formula evenly. “Don’t apply it on dry because the hair is more porous, and it will grab too much of the purple tone,” cautions colorist Richy Kandasamy. Once applied evenly, leave it on for two to four minutes, depending on the amount of brassiness or yellow in the hair. “When rinsing the shampoo out of your hair, use cool water, which will help close the cuticle and seal the color.” Following, apply a conditioner, moisturizing hair mask, or leave-in to lock in hydration.

Unfortunately, a little more than four years later, it looks like the couple is calling it quits. So, here is our timeline of the (rather drawn-out) Lily Allen and David Harbour separation, starting with most recent events.
October 28, 2025: The New York City townhouse referenced in West End Girl, and which became famous after Allen and Harbour’s 2023 Architectural Digest tour, is listed for sale, per NME.
October 25, 2025: The real identity of “Madeline” is revealed. In the song, “Madeline,” Allen accuses Harbour of having an affair with a woman called Madeline, which broke their agreement for the terms of the open marriage. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Natalie Tippett, a costume designer on Stranger Things, confirmed that she is the real Madeline.
October 24, 2025: Allen surprise drops her first album in seven years, West End Girl, and it is full of intimate details from her marriage and breakup. In the lyrics, Allen describes the couple’s open relationship and her feelings about it, as well as her sense of betrayal when Harbour (allegedly) broke the rules they had set for their relationship together. In one of the album’s most revealing tracks, “Pussy Palace,” she describes finding a plastic bag of sex toys, lube, and condoms under Harbour’s bed. “Duane Reade bag with the handles tied/Sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside/Hundreds of Trojans, you’re so fucking broken,” she sings.
Allen told Interview, “I wrote this record in 10 days in December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now. We all go through breakups and it’s always fucking brutal.”
February 4, 2025: People reports that multiple sources have confirmed that Allen and Harbour split. “Her marriage has been crumbling and they have split,” the source claimed. However, neither Allen nor Harbour has given a statement directly. Another source tells People Allen is “devastated and not in a good place.”
January 9, 2025: Allen alludes to going through difficult times on an episode of her podcast, Miss Me? “I’m finding it hard to be interested in anything. I’m really not in a good place,” she says. “I know I’ve been talking about it for months, but I’ve been spiraling and spiraling. It’s got out of control. I’ve tried.” Amid the divorce rumors already swirling, this was seen as further evidence that there was a split on the horizon.

Costume designer Negar Ali Kline grew up surrounded by fashion and style. “My parents immigrated to the States in the ’70s, and they had a European sensibility,” Kline said. “They dressed really well. My grandparents dressed really well.”
After spending more than 25 years in the world of costume design and styling, working with the likes of Maya Rudolph and Jessica Lange, Ali Kline knew she had to work on the hit Netflix series Nobody Wants This after reading about it online and requesting the script. “It was so funny, witty. Erin’s writing, her banter is just of the time. She just created this world. Each character was so fully realized in the pilot episode. Knew exactly who they were,” she said.
On the latest episode of The Who What Wear Podcast, Kline shares how she got her start in the industry, how she developed those early mood boards for the show, and more. For excerpts from their conversation, scroll below.
Can we talk a little bit about your background and your career and how you fell in love with fashion? How did you land in the very interesting and specific world of costume design?
I fell in love with fashion, well, rather style, right? It was something that I would say I guess I grew up with it in the atmosphere. My parents immigrated to the States in the ’70s, and they had a European sensibility. They dressed really well. My grandparents dressed really well.
I’m an only child, and I remember my parents hosting parties where everyone was dressed really glamorously. I mean, this is the ’80s, right? You can imagine. Shoulder pads, jewelry. This is like Dynasty. Taffeta. That’s what was going on inside my home. I’ve always been obsessed with pop culture. This was the time of Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, and Prince. Now, looking back, I think this informed me, right?
I never thought to seek a career in fashion. I was going to college, and I started working for Paper Magazine, and I was an assistant to the publisher. This is like the late ’90s, and it was just a very cool place to be. These great contributing fashion editors were coming through, and they started asking me to assist them on their shoots. I just kind of fell into that.
Talk to me about working on season 1 of Nobody Wants This. How did you get connected with Erin [Foster], who’s the creator? What drew you to the story?
I read about—at the time it was called Shiksa, actually—I read about Nobody Wants This in Deadline. I thought, “Wow, this sounds cool.” I was familiar with Erin [Foster], and I reached out. I knew one of the EPs, so I reached out to Olly Obst and asked if I could read the script. He sent it to me.
It was just one of the smartest [scripts]. It was so funny, witty. Erin’s writing, her banter is just of the time. She just created this world. Each character was so fully realized in the pilot episode. Knew exactly who they were. I was obsessed, like, I have to do this.
I’m wondering how you approached those initial mood boards when you were in the process, whether it was interviewing for the job or first starting. Were there fashion pieces written into the scripts, or did you have total freedom to pull from whatever people you knew, muses, people you saw on the street, whatever it may be?
The way I approach early mood boards is that I’m trying to convey an approach to the character versus literal outfits, right? Very early on in that first meeting, it just felt like Erin [Foster] and I were naturally aligned in the way that we saw Joanne.
For me, it was really important that she had this versatility in her style. She understands putting herself together in a specific way for the environment that she’s gonna find herself in. The way she dresses for a Spotify meeting with executives is different from the way she dresses to go to a basketball game as a WAG versus how she dresses to meet the parents, right?
She can use style as armor. She can use style to garner attention when she wants attention.
