For those of you with grey white silver locks

No I don’t think my thread title is a bit twee! Maw! Actually I think it’s Hairlarious! Maybe it would help if you Lighten up a bit. It’s a question. Jeez !

If I lightened up any more I'd be airborne!
Just happen to dislike clichés and tweeness - my prerogative I think.

PS what colour is "grey white silver" anyway?

You are getting very boring now Maw! Everyone else has answered my questions with respect! But you obviously would like an argument, bring it on! Zzzzzzzzz

I use Trèsemme deep cleansing shampoo and never use conditioner.
Occasionally I use a ‘blue’ shampoo but not regularly.
I think yellowing can be due to build up of hair mousse or hairspray.

Thanks for that BlueBalou hopefully I will be ok then as I don’t use mousse or hairspray

I have to ‘tong’ my curly fringe to stop it looking like a loo brush. My fringe is more yellow than the rest so I agree that burning it with a hot dryer or hot tongs is the culprit.
I quite like the blonde/yellow bits that frame my face.
I did try purple shampoo but as my hair began to show signs of lilacness I gave up, it was more aging.

It seems that Maw wasn't very 'merry' yesterday Heaven rest assured your wording was fine and everyone else got what you were saying

It actually started on Sunday 5th, and continued for several days, all very silly, but hey there’s always one isn’t there Sassanach512, 🤣🤣

Sure is 😂

I used to pay to have blond highlights but now that my hair is white I will never be Goldilocks again. I hate it when I get those yellow tinges due to the heat from straightners or the sun and I use any brand of purple shampoo to get rid of it. I found a solid purple bar from Lush which I had forgotten about in a cupboard yesterday and will give that another go.

Re the thread title.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with it.

The previous post to mine mentions ‘Goldilocks’.

Now ‘Goldihair’ would sound awful, wouldn’t it?

Not half so pretty.

To be honest I sniggered at the title ! Sorry 😣

Why does a perfectly reasonable thread title, spoil what is a perfectly reasonable question, no need for anyone to come on a thread like this and try to disrupt it.
I am interested in the answers to the OP question, I have kept my natural dark brown hair, but I have 6 blond highlights put it. I use the Phillip Kingsley for blond hair once a week and it keeps my blond highlights looking lovely and fresh.

My hair has been white for ages. I just use any shampoo and do vary it a bit as I once read that the hair benefits from a change of shampoo sometimes. Not sure why.
I do use conditioner now and then. It helps get rid of that straw like feeling.
I quite enjoy putting a few pink streaks in it too. Occasionally.

PS. I think the key to having nice locks is not to wash it toooo
often.

Purple shampoo…Milkshake…leave it on, purple tinge, trendy!

Santa brought me some Philip Kingsley leave in conditioner and it is brilliant. I have thick hair that loves to frizz and this conditioner actually works.

I was a blonde baby and child but in my teens my hair darkened to a very boring mousy brown. Left school on the Friday, started work on the Monday as a bleached blonde. Apart from during pregnancies, I remained pale blonde into my 70s.Meanwhile all my relatives on my Mother's side developed lovely snowy white hair at a youngish age. (Perhaps inevitable, when the family surname was Whyte!)

Then I broke my arm and was unable to apply the bleach so just let it be. Surprise, Surprise - my new growth was exactly the same pale blonde shade as the longer bleached hair. I do use John Frieda Blonde Highlighting shampoo and conditioner maybe once a week but don't think it makes much of a difference.

Try to use products with no parabens, silicones and other nasties as these are very drying. I love the Noughty range, plus their purple range for grey and white hair.

love noughty.co.uk

PS what colour is "grey white silver" anyway?

This is my grey white silver hair

Usernametaken I love Noughty products too, they don’t irritate my sensitive scalp.

Whereas my tresses are just white

Maw I do wonder if my hair will eventually become a uniform white. I wouldn’t mind, but kind of hope not, as I like it having its own self made highlights! My natural colour was very dark brown but it contained many red strands so perhaps that is why it’s a mix of grey and silver shades now.

It is important to keep it shiny. I use a Moroccan Oil platinum conditioner and also a mist of Moroccan Oil shine spray after styling, so that it is silver rather than matte white.
