Using a good silver shampoo can give blonde, gray, or white hair a beautiful, cool glow. It helps your locks retain their cool color longer and allows you to postpone dyeing your hair. Read this blog for all the important tips on using silver shampoo correctly.

What is silver shampoo?

Silver shampoo contains purple and blue pigments. Purple and blue are the opposites of yellow and orange tones, giving your blonde, white, or gray locks a cool glow.

How do you use silver shampoo?

Just like with regular shampoo, massage it into wet hair. The only difference is that you leave this shampoo in a little longer than regular shampoo. To achieve the desired result, leave silver shampoo in for 1 to 5 minutes. Want a purple tint to your hair? Then you can leave the shampoo in longer (up to 10 minutes). Use your time wisely while the shampoo is in your hair; for example, wash your body during this time or turn off the shower (sustainable water management). We then recommend using a nourishing mask or conditioner to make your hair soft and supple again.

How often should you use silver shampoo?

This is very personal and different for every hair type and hair color. For a true gray color, you can use silver shampoo two or three times. If you just want to neutralize the warm glow in your hair, or if you already have thin or damaged hair, we recommend using it only once a week. This prevents damage.

Using silver conditioner, mask or shampoo?

Want a cooler glow but unsure whether to choose a silver shampoo, silver conditioner , or a silver mask? These three products all essentially serve the same purpose: giving your hair a cooler color. The only difference, just like with regular hair products, is that some are more nourishing than others. Does your hair feel dry after using silver shampoo? Use a purple conditioner or mask after washing. This will give your hair that extra bit of care. Of course, you can also use your own conditioner after using silver shampoo.
