For those of you with grey white silver locks

Sure is 😂

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

PS what colour is "grey white silver" anyway?

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

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 !

I've been grey now for a few years (let it grow out during lockdown). I do find the ends are a bit yellowish, but I put that down to our water which is quite tannic and has a yellow tint.

I use a purple shampoo about every 3rd wash, but otherwise don't fuss with it. Mine is the Moroccan Oil Blond Perfecting shampoo.

I wouldn't bother with a purple shampoo unless you see your hair going a bit yellow. If you have good water at home, then you should be alright.

No problem with the post OP but the “locks” in the thread title is a bit twee don’t you think?
I have locks on my doors, but hair on my head .

Yellowing is caused by natural pigments in the hair. I have been fully snow white for a number of years and have a little yellow towards the front of my hair which is very annoying. I used to have very thick brown hair, now it is very thin. I have tried several 'brightening' products and have settled on Touch of Silver, using it once week. It does give my hair a nice sheen. It is important to leave in for a few minutes before rinsing. I use any good conditioner. There is nothing to completely deal with the yellow, it's just somethings I have to live with

Personally I do not see what’s wrong with the title of my post, purple shampoo would not be put on black or brown hair! Oh thank you ziplock c

Maw may be irritated by tabloid descriptions of ‘locks’ along with descriptions of what various slebs are ‘donning’ that day. Hair, wearing!!

I have white hair and use a purple shampoo once a week to brighten it. Sunshine and heat tend to create yellow patches so I disguise these by using a purple mousse, recommended by a hairdresser and available online.

I use a cheap shampoo and conditioner and wash my hair every day. I've been fully grey for about 10 years now and never had any yellowing. My hair is still in very good condition.

I suspect Maw was referring to the title

You’ve lost me there, Maw. The poster was asking a genuine question about suitable shampoos for grey hair as I understood it, so not sure where you’re going with your comment?
I’ve tried purple shampoo, HeavenLeigh, but didn’t think it made any difference than other shampoos to be honest.

I use Touch of silver every third wash with a leave in conditioner after, I think is Aveeda or similar.
Been doing this for years now and never a trace of yellow.

Yes I’ve heard that you can get yellow tinges Jin grey hair after using hairdryers must be something to do with the heat I expect!

I wash my hair about every 5 days. I use a hairdryer (on the hottest setting) to dry it. I really, really don't have yellow tinges.

If I were you I'd not bother trying to forestall possible yellow tinges. Just use normal products and see what happens.

My hairdresser says that most purple shampoos tend to be very drying but are fine if you use plenty of conditioner afterwards.

With not Jin 🤣

I’m confused with your answer maw can we just call it hair, you can, but I want to know about purple shampoo which I’ve been told can brighten grey silver hair! Yes I’ve heard that you can get yellow tinges Jin grey hair after using hairdryers must be something to do with the heat I expect! No I would never use washing up liquid on my hair as I’d heard it strips your hair. Although saying that my dad used to and had a lovely thick head of hair but it’s not for me, 🤣

Do not wash your grey hair in washing powder /washing up liquid as it will strip the condition out even more!
I have found Grey/ silver hair needs a completely different routine ..I use a good purple shampoo about once every 10 days ( which does brighten the hair ) then a shampoo and conditioner of your Choice in between .. my hair which did not need hardly any conditioner before certainly does now!
