What is Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream, and what does it do?
Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream is a specially formulated cream designed to enhance and maintain the vibrancy of blonde and gray hair. This cream contains violet pigments that help neutralize unwanted yellow and brassy tones, leaving your hair looking cool, bright, and more vibrant.

How do I use Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream?
To use Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream, start by washing and conditioning your hair as usual. Towel-dry your hair until it is damp. Then, dispense a small amount of the cream onto your palm and rub your hands together to distribute the product evenly. Apply the cream to your hair, focusing on the areas where you want to neutralize brassiness or enhance the cool tones. Gently comb or brush through your hair to ensure even distribution. Style your hair as desired, and do not rinse out the cream. The Supernova Blonde Violet Cream can be used on a regular basis to maintain your desired blonde or gray shade.
Is Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream suitable for all shades of blonde and gray hair?
Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream is suitable for most shades of blonde and gray hair. Whether you have platinum blonde, ash blonde, silver, or gray hair, this cream can help you achieve a more balanced and vibrant color. The violet pigments in the cream work to neutralize yellow and brassy tones, which are common in lighter hair shades. However, it's important to note that the results may vary depending on your hair's porosity and the existing color. For individuals with very warm or golden tones, it may take several applications to achieve the desired effect. It is always recommended to do a strand test or consult with a professional hairstylist to determine the best application method and expected results for your specific hair color.
Will Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream stain my hands or clothing?
No, Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream is formulated to minimize the risk of staining your hands or clothing. However, it's always a good idea to take precautions when working with pigmented hair products. To avoid any potential staining, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream. If you accidentally get the cream on your clothing, quickly blot it with a damp cloth or sponge to minimize any potential color transfer. It's also recommended to allow the cream to fully absorb into your hair before coming into contact with fabric. By following these simple precautions, you can enjoy the benefits of Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream without worrying about stains.
Can I use Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream with other hair styling products?
Yes, Amika Supernova Blonde Violet Cream can be used in conjunction with other hair styling products. After applying the cream to your damp hair, you can proceed with your regular styling routine. Whether you prefer to blow-dry, use hot tools, or air-dry your hair, the cream will not interfere with the performance of other styling products. However, it's important to note that using excessive amounts of other styling products, particularly those with heavy oils or silicone, may affect the effectiveness of the violet pigments in the cream. For best results, use the cream as directed and consider using styling products that are lightweight and compatible with color-treated hair.
