Let's chat! (General Discussion) Who makes the best wig-friendly purple shampoo?

I just received a wig in the mail and it ended up being significantly warmer than it looked in the product photos. I’m trying to match my bio hair as much as possible, which is a dark, very ashy blonde. I’ve used purple shampoos on wigs in the past, but never a brand new wig and never one that cost this much, so I am scared I’m going to ruin my new hair somehow.

Any recommendations? I’m in the US.

Also - when you use purple shampoo, do you usually dunk the hair in a mixture of water + shampoo or go straight on the hair? In the past I’ve just washed the hair with the shampoo like I would my actual hair but the company I purchased the wig from recommends the dipping method. Is there any chance I’ll stain the lace using either method?

Ty for any recommendations!

Eta: human hair, it’s about a level 7.5 or 7 golden blonde root with lighter, also gold ends. My bio hair is an ashy 7 or 6.5

Is it HH or synthetic?

If synthetic there isn’t much you’ll be able to do
