Can we just call it hair ?

I’ve tried many of the so called purple/brightening shampoos they make no difference to my grey/white hair. Now I just use whatever shampoo takes my fancy, I think they’re all much the same.

I use a grey shampoo which highlights the silver strands. You can buy it in Boots.

Please can I have some recommendations for the best shampoo for grey hair, I’m growing mine through and doing well. Quite excited really although only been three months, apparently grey hair can go yellow! I didn’t realise that being a brunette,
