" Our March cover girl Miley Cyrus isn&amp;#039;t afraid to mess with her mane. Proving to be a hair cameleon, the fun fearless female recently tweeted &amp;quot;My hurrr ain&amp;#039;t blue. That shits PLATINUM.&amp;quot; Admittedely the singer &amp;quot;went heavy on the shimmer lights,&amp;quot; which imparted a silvery tinge to her very short tresses. We love her new pale-purple-meets-pewter hair color, but Miley&amp;#039;s tweet got us thinking about pigmented shampoos and conditioners. When your hair is as bleach blonde as hers, it&amp;#039;s super porous. And porous hair soaks in everything. So, when you&amp;#039;re using these pigmented purple formulas, such as Clairol Shimmer Lights, which really does work wonders when it comes to canceling out any brasiness in your blonde &amp;#039;do, it&amp;#039;s important to remember these three things: 1. If you bleach your hair constantly, when you wash it with a purple shampoo and conditioner, saturate it with water first so that the H2O fills up any holes in your hair shaft. That way it won&amp;#039;t be as porous and soak up the colored sudser and conditioner.  2. Use both the pigmented shampoo and conditioner to get the full benefit of the formulas. They&amp;#039;re meant to work together, instead of leaving one of them on for a longer time period in hopes of cancelling out any yellow tones. 3. Don&amp;#039;t leave the formulas on longer than the instructions say, and make sure you rinse them out thoroughly (unless you want Miley&amp;#039;s awesome effect, of course). These kinds of shampoos and conditioners are highly pigmented and super powerful, so you want to be sure to follow the instructions they come with to get the desired results. Okay, so now that you&amp;#039;re up to speed on pigmented shampoos and conditioners, we have to say that we love that MC has fun with her hair and changes up her look often. It actually inspires us to do the same. What do you think about her new hair hue? Photo: Anthony/PacificCoastNews.com Follow Carly Cardellino on Facebook and Twitter.
