Silverizing shampoo

Why won't my natural curly hair curl anymore?

Dryness can cause the hair to be frizzy, resulting in a lack of curl definition, while hair damage can cause the hair to look misshapen from a lack of structure. ... When the hair regains its moisture and strength, you may stretch your treatments to every two weeks.

Plantur shampoo & conditioner .For a silver finish. Plus it's for mature hair too. A x

I have pepper and salt hair after being blonde all my life some of it is dark!! I use John Frieda for grey hair much cheaper than the others about £6 for a big tube. I found I was allergic to the L'Oreal which my hairdresser sold me, so went much cheaper in case I had to throw again but I'm fine and it makes the grey look shinny.

Fudge Professional Clean Blonde (violet-toning shampoo). About £20 - I ordered it online after my hairdresser tried it on me. Love it (and it's the reason for my name - I'm always chasing the colour lilac!)

I usually swim 3 times a week and use a combination shampoo / conditioner in the shower and then use a Touch of silver or similar once a week. During the first lockdown, I couldn't swim and was using my "silver shampoo 3 or 4 times a week until my next door neighbour said that she liked what I'd done with my hair. I hadn't realised that it had gone a pale mauve. DH is colour blind and hadn't noticed and as we weren't out and about, I'd hardly looked in a mirror for weeks. I'm trying a John Frieda 'Silver' shampoo and Silver conditioner now - but only once a week

I use Provoke Touch of Silver, leave on for 5 minutes once a week.

Glad to see this thread as I've been wondering about this too.
I've highlighted hair. When I last had it done my hairdresser, who's also a friend (So I tend to heed her advice) said "Use silverising shampoo every couple of weeks"
I found it a bit difficult to find what she meant but got 'Touch of Silver' shampoo & conditioner.
Have used them twice now. They seem good as conditioning products. But they seem to bring out the grey in my hair more.
I'm not sure I like it. Is that what it's meant to do to your grey?

I use Aveda products for Silver hair .. it takes away the yellowing on my hair ..

White Hot Hair products are great. I'm not sure about their Shoosing cream but my hair is thinner than it used to be. The shampoos and conditioner are fabulous aand I use them all the time.

I use BoldUniq which I buy online. I find it does not dry my hair like some other cheaper supermarket shampoos tended to do. Been using it over the last 12 months, about every 3 weeks and still on first bottle purchased. Will buy again

Philip Kingsley for me everytime buy from qvc and if you don’t like it you can return for full refund not that I’d think you would but much better than having a bathroom full of stuff you wouldn’t use again

I like White hot hair, a bit expensive but my hair is soft. It doesn’t make it purple.

I found the Aussie one the best recently followed by Provoke.( This is more intense in colour though) Both work on my grey hair and turn it a shiny silver and the highlights I have finely done to lift the overall colour are never yellow - even with a few months between having them done. Over the years I have tried all sorts - but find that if I leave the second Aussie Purple shampoo on for two minutes or longer if I can - the result is an ash/silver colour that shines without any yellow at all.

Just scrolling through as ive never heard of silverising shampoos, and the add which appears (I'm on my phone) periodically is for STP engine flush. Since the ads often seem to pick up on the topic I'm wondering what's in these shampoos!

MayBeMaw. I wash my hair in the shower and I used to use this shampoo but gave up because if I didn’t wear gloves, the skin around my nails turned blue. I’m lazy and I found it too much of a faff.

I have lilac purple coloured hair so I mix my own colours to keep it vibrant looking and bleach the roots about every 3 months.

However, I will suggest that rather than using a basic purple shampoo to use a purple based conditioner or hair mask instead. I recommend the Osmo Purple hair mask as it neutralises any yellow tones and leaves your hair feeling soft and nourished.

The reason I’m not keen on some purple shampoos is that the brands sold in supermarkets can be very drying as they contain cheap detergents to bulk them out and it gives them a high alkaline pH value, similar to perm lotion!

I chopped off almost all my fading Auburn (coloured) hair this February and it was a yummy pepper with bits of salt colour! Although I sort of got used to it, I've gone back Auburn as it was not the glorious silver vixen shades à là adverts on the telly! I'm so envious of you lot with your fab gunmetal to silver White Barnets!

Hello. You probably need a blue one to neutralise the yellow.
Back in the day I had white blonde hair (ala Paula Yates) and it really did the trick of keeping it nice and bright (--until I bleached the beejeezus out of it and it all broke off)--

Blue is not opposite yellow on the colour wheel! You need purple to neutralise yellow and blue to neutralise red/orange tones!

I alternate between provoke and Aussie.. Then a deep cleansing shampoo once a month and my hair is white..

What about red heads like me? Mine never went white with age but cream!

I use shampoo bars and find that they are very kind to my silvery hair. I haven't yet found any bars specifically for silver hair, though.

I'm following this thread as my hair is full of natural highlights!!
Anyone used shampoo bars for silver hair?

I use the L’Oreal too. Big bottle lasts ages as you only need a bit and I’ve got very thick hair.

Cross post Maw. That’s the one I get too and I agree it doesn’t turn hair blue.
