The Fanola No Yellow Shampoo is an incredibly popular silver shampoo. And rightly so, as this brilliant silver shampoo contains a lot of violet pigment. There are also many questions about Violet shampoo, so here are some frequently asked questions, of course with answers about the Fanola No Yellow Shampoo.
What exactly is Fanola No Yellow silver shampoo?
It is a blue-purple shampoo designed to remove yellow pigments (warmth) from the hair. The color of the shampoo is quite typical. Silver shampoo has this color because blue/purple is opposite yellow on the color wheel. These are complementary colors. This way, a yellow tint can be removed from your hair. If your hair has a greenish tint, you need to counterbalance it with a red pigment to balance the color tone.
Is Fanola No Yellow suitable for my hair?
Do you have blonde hair and an unwanted yellow tint in your hair? Or do you naturally have a lot of warmth in your hair, or has a coloring turned out too warm? Then Fanola No Yellow, also known as silver shampoo, can offer a solution to some extent. Do you have gray hair with annoying yellow tones? Then Fanola No Yellow is your absolute savior.
What is the difference between Fanola No Yellow and Fanola No Orange?
Fanola No Yellow is specially developed for blonde/light hair with a yellow tint. However, some people have unwanted copper or red tones. That’s where Fanola No Orange comes in. This neutralizing shampoo is specially developed for dark hair, as these hairs can also have unwanted warm colors.

Is Fanola No Yellow bad for my hair?
Fanola Anti-Yellow Shampoo is not necessarily bad or harmful. It contains no aggressive ingredients, but unlike an average regular shampoo, this silver shampoo contains minimal nourishing ingredients, which can make your hair feel drier than usual. That’s why we also recommend conditioning your hair after shampooing with the Nutri Care Conditioner and possibly using the Fanola Nutri Care Mask in between. This way, your hair becomes wonderfully soft again and still fights the yellow tones.
If you want to maximize the No Yellow effect and have well-nourished hair that shines back at you, we recommend combining the No Yellow Shampoo with at least one of the following No Yellow hair care and/or styling products.
The No Yellow Care Thermo-Protective Cream is the heat protector with No Yellow that also prevents split ends!
The No Yellow Leave-in Conditioner Spray makes your hair feel silky, vital, and healthy. It also fights frizz, so you won’t get a lion’s mane as soon as you step outside.
Will my hair turn purple from Fanola No Yellow?
This depends on the color and condition of your hair. If you have very light blonde hair, it is not recommended to leave Fanola No Yellow in for longer than 2 minutes. Light blonde, especially frequently bleached hair, is more porous, and the blue-purple color can quickly show in your locks. This washes out easily, but it can be a shock the first time. If your hair still turns blue-purple after very short use, you can mix the shampoo with a "regular" shampoo, preferably the Fanola Nutri Care Shampoo, which makes the purple/blue effect less intense.
My hair has turned purple, what now?
Oops… left it in too long? No worries. It may take some time, but you will always get it out. Washing your hair again with a regular shampoo is usually enough. If the purple tint doesn’t go away, you can wash it a few more times. Sometimes using anti-dandruff shampoo helps. However, this is quite an aggressive shampoo that can make your hair feel dry, so be careful with frequent use!
How often can I use Fanola No Yellow?
Because the shampoo contains little to no nourishment, daily use is not recommended; you are also more likely to get a purple tint than if you use it only occasionally. But by combining it with the right nourishing products, there is no real maximum. Just pay attention to what your hair needs. If you have some highlights, the chance of the shampoo turning purple is smaller. If you have fully bleached hair, the violet shampoo works much better, and the chance of your beautiful hair turning purple is higher. Watch your hair and discover what works best for your hair by trying it out.
A purple tint is not a disaster; you just need to rinse extra well to get the purple tint out. Maybe wash once more with a regular shampoo, and the purple tint will be gone.
Can I apply No Yellow silver shampoo on dry hair?
This is a question asked very often. Why? To get the most out of the shampoo and its violet pigment. You can apply the shampoo on dry hair, but that doesn’t necessarily have more effect on your hair. When your hair is wet, silver shampoo is better absorbed by your hair due to the action of water and the shampoo’s ingredients. Want to create more effect with No Yellow Shampoo? Then you should look at how long the shampoo stays in your hair. The longer you leave the shampoo in, the more effect it has on your hair. It’s like a colored conditioner, for example: the more color you want to achieve, the longer you leave the conditioner or even color mask in your hair.
Does No Yellow purple shampoo damage my hair?
Silver shampoos have been around for years and have been a huge trend. The question was always whether Fanola Purple Shampoo also damaged your hair. Why was this question asked so often? Because No Yellow Shampoo was compared to a toner. This is because the effect of No Yellow was as extreme as a toner. What exactly is a toner? A toner was always used to remove yellow tint from hair, but a toner is a dye. We all know that dyeing is harmful to hair, regardless of all new technologies. So it’s a very valid question.
However, No Yellow Shampoo has the effect of a toner but is not a toner. This means that Fanola Silver Shampoo does not damage your hair! Only the benefits, not the drawbacks :)
When is the best time to use No Yellow Shampoo?
Well, when is the best time to use No Yellow? It entirely depends on your wishes and, of course, your hair. Do you have fully bleached hair? What is the color of your hair? What result do you want to achieve? How often do you usually wash your hair? These are all variables that influence when you should use No Yellow Shampoo.

Is Fanola Silver Shampoo also a real toner for hair?
This is still a frequently asked question. Before silver shampoo was really discovered, a toner was the way to go. Of course, you could find Schwarzkopf silver shampoo at Kruidvat and Etos, but that was clearly for people going gray. This silver shampoo was also and still is used on horses to remove the yellow tint from their tails. A funny fact, of course.
However, the huge breakthrough of silver shampoos came when cool blonde tones became popular. A beautiful cool tone is amazing, but how do you maintain it without constantly going to the salon for a "toner treatment"? Besides, that’s not good for your hair.
Then came the popularity of silver shampoo! When the Italian silver shampoo was discovered, people were so impressed that they didn’t believe it was a pure shampoo without being a toner. Especially because the effect was just as strong.
For clarity, No Yellow shampoo is not a toner, but it does have the same effect!
