'Purple Shampoo Challenge' has TikTok users dumping bottles of shampoo in their hair
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Wanna participate in an online challenge that doesn’t require you to kiss a cow or eat a Tide Pod? Then the “Purple Shampoo Challenge” might be just the thing for you.
The new craze — which is currently taking off on TikTok — is less of a “challenge” and more of a trend, as most users appear to simply be pouring purple shampoo onto their heads in the hopes of changing the appearance of their hair.

Some of them achieved the desired results regardless, while some merely stained everything they own purple.
At least a few users have also tried to point out that the challenge would be pointless for anyone who doesn’t have gray or blonde hair.
