Swirled into a liquid lather of botanical saponifiers and clarifying essences, these biome-balancing botanicals soothe scalp irritation while maintaining your skin's natural, dermatological synergy. Whether you struggle with an oily scalp or lackluster hair strands, this non-stripping wash lifts away impurities while creating the terrain to maximize your mane.
SHAMPOO + BODYWASH DIRECTIONS
Shampooing: To cleanse your hair, massage a small amount of this azulene-rich lather into a wet scalp, adding water as necessary to work-up a fluffy foam. Spend a few minutes massaging your fingertips to thoroughly scrub the scalp, clearing away buildup so that pores are completely free to respire and inspire hair growth. Keep in mind that shampoo is primarily for cleansing the scalp; rinsing the lather down the length of your hair is more than sufficient to cleanse the strands. Follow with True Blue Conditioner for soft, shiny, and heavenly-scented hair. This gentle shampoo is perfectly safe and supportive for young ones’ hair, natural blondes, and color-treated tresses.
Hand Soap + Body Wash: As a body wash, True Blue Spirulina Shampoo serves as a lovely, multi-use staple for your countertop and shower. Pour a small amount into your palms for a sudsy wash, or dispense it generously under running water to watch it bloom into a clean, botanical bubble bath gentle enough even for a baby's tub. To extend your bottle and create a magnificent countertop hand soap, simply fill a foaming pump bottle with half True Blue Spirulina Shampoo and half distilled water, then shake gently to combine.
Color-Treated Hair: Our shampoos serve colored hair beautifully. Similar to healthy skin, healthy hair is naturally coated in protective sebum that keeps each strand elastic, smooth, and highly reflective. Synthetic hair products, even those marketed specifically for treated hair, strip away these vital oils, irritate the scalp, and leave behind an occlusive residue that stifles the skin, cuticle, and hair follicles. Harsh chemical surfactants cause hair color to fade fast, leaving strands dull and lifeless.
Pre-Color Prep: To prime your mane, create a pre-color ritual the day or night before you plan on applying color by treating your hair to an intensive moisture treatment. Use our super-hydrating Honey Myrtle Deep Conditioning Mask, or let our True Blue Conditioner seep into your strands overnight. This deeply primes the hair matrix and paves the way for luminous, long-lasting color, as plump, well-hydrated strands grab onto the pigment more effectively and hold onto their vibrant dimension much longer without fading.

TRUE BLUE SHAMPOO: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can this shampoo help a chronically oily scalp or hair that gets easily weighed down?
Many shampoos rely on synthetic coating agents that leave behind a waxy residue, triggering the sebaceous glands to overproduce oil. True Blue Spirulina Shampoo made with plant saponifiers and clarifying essences cleanse old product buildup and clear the pathways for your scalp biome to rest. It balances oil production so beautifully that many find they can stretch the days between washes. As Meredith shares:
"Honestly blown away! I’ve tried so many expensive salon recommendations as well as “custom” shampoos and everyone left my hair greasy the next day. I’m on day three hair right now after my first use with the spirulina combo and no grease! I’m so happy to have found this brand, every product is incredible!"
What is the best way to activate the lather and extend the life of the bottle?
It's good to dilute your dollop of shampoo and work the lather (and better yet apply with our Hair Root Applicator to get the suds to the scalp where it can get to work. As Brittany notes:
"Dilute to sud. I’ve found this shampoo and the sea buckthorn shampoo to be super concentrated.I found out that by diluting the shampoo in a separate bottle with water and shaking it to sud, I was able to build a lather that actually cleaned my hair and removed all the buildup. It also helps to extend the life of the product which I appreciate."
Can True Blue Spirulina Shampoo be used as a natural alternative to chemical purple or "bluing" shampoos for gray and white hair?
Yes, and it does so beautifully without coal-tar synthetic dyes. Conventional purple shampoos rely on chemical pigments to counteract brassiness, which can dry out the hair cuticle over time. True Blue achieves its rich color and toning power through a natural trifecta of azulene-containing essential oils: Blue Tansy, Yarrow, and German Chamomile. As Sheri details:
"I know that this isn't advertised as a 'bluing' shampoo, but the natural deep blue color of Blue Tansy, German Chamomile and Yarrow make my white hairs in my natural salt and pepper hair stay nice and bright without needing a shampoo filled with dyes and chemicals to keep my white hairs from getting brassy and yellow. I also love this shampoo and the accompanying conditioner for all of the other reasons mentioned in other reviews, but I wanted to add my voice here about this wonderful, natural feature of these hair products."
How do I know which shampoo is best for my hair?
While both formulas are non-stripping, biome-balancing shampoos that work on all hair types, they deliver their structural support through different plant pathways. Seabuckthorn relies on juicy, nutrient-dense lipids to provide deep, reflective shine and scalp moisture. True Blue is infused with nutrient-dense Spirulina, which acts as a fortifying protein treatment to deliver structural body and bounce. As Christina explains:
"I have been a big fan of the Seabuckthorn shampoo & conditioner for the last couple of years and have used those religiously. My hair has never looked shinier or more radiant. But now I have tried the new True Blue Spirulina Shampoo & Conditioner and am in LoVe with them as well... I think my hair is more shiny with the Seabuckthorn but more volume with the True Blue."
