FAQ
Silver shampoo, also known as purple shampoo because of its colour, is a cleansing product created to neutralise yellow, brassy tones in your hair. With silver shampoo, you can achieve anything from a warm honey blond to a cool white shade depending on the product and your hair.
Wet your hair with warm water – the warm temperature opens up your hair cuticles, making it easier for the purple pigments in silver shampoo to be absorbed and counteract yellowness. Then massage the shampoo into your scalp and rinse. Wash your hair with the shampoo a second time, thoroughly massaging the shampoo from your scalp through to the tips of your hair, then rinse it again. The second wash works to properly remove grime and product residue, leading to better hair health.
Kind of. Silver shampoo is really for anyone with light hair, including blonde, platinum, grey, white, pastel and highlighted. While silver shampoo is normally advertised for people with blonde or bleached hair, anyone with light highlights can benefit from using it. The silver shampoo also works to eliminate yellow and brassy tones in silver, white and grey hair.
This depends on your hair type, shade and the brand of the silver shampoo. Some have developed shampoos for daily use, while others recommend only using their shampoo 1-2 times a week. It’s often recommended to use a conditioner or some type of hair aftercare product to ensure your hair is rehydrated after washing it with silver shampoo.
With what feels like endless choices, it can be difficult to find which silver shampoo is best for your hair. A couple of ingredients that indicate a good quality silver shampoo are; protein, moisturising ingredients (glycerin, propylene glycol or panthenol) and antioxidants. They all work to improve and maintain your hair’s health. To help you figure out which one you need, we rated our top 11 silver shampoos for you.
