What is Nika Frozen Blonde Shampoo?

Nika Frozen Blonde Shampoo is the toning shampoo of the NIKA Frozen Blonde line for natural or lightened blonde, grey and white hair, in a 250 ml bottle for home care and the salon. Its violet dye, Acid Violet 43, helps neutralise visible yellow and brassy tones for a cool, clean blonde, while Polyquaternium-10 and Amodimethicone leave the hair easy to comb after rinsing. It is left on for 2-5 minutes and used 1-2 times a week, alternating with a regular shampoo.

Key ingredients

• Acid Violet 43 (Ext. Violet 2): a violet dye that helps neutralise visible yellow and brassy tones on light hair; the effect fades over the following washes.
• Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate: the cleansing system, without SLES or SLS, with Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco-Glucoside as co-surfactants.
• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil and Fruit Extract: grape seed oil and grape extract that care for the lengths.
• Polyquaternium-10 and Amodimethicone: a conditioning polymer and a silicone that help detangling and combing after rinsing.
• Mica and CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide): mineral pigments that give the shampoo its pearly look.

Results

After rinsing, blonde, grey or lightened hair looks cooler, brighter and less yellow, and combs easily. The cool effect builds gradually with each wash, and the leave-on time within 2-5 minutes adapts it to the base shade and the porosity of the hair.
