This new grey hair often has a coarse, dry texture. This can be due to a reduction in sebum production on the scalp (so fewer natural oils to moisturise the hair shaft), or the result of pulling out grey hairs which then distorts the shape of the follicle (causing wiry new hair to grow). When it comes to growing grey hair, we don't have much choice about the shade that emerges (white, darker grey, silver etc.) but there are steps that can be taken to prevent the unwanted tones and discolouration that can occur such as yellowing or dullness. The answer: a silver toner for hair, either in shampoo format or as an in-salon service.You can increase or decrease your usage over time depending on the look you’re going for. If you find your hair’s still brassy, start using it every time you shampoo. If it becomes a touch too bright for your taste, slow your usage.

Natural silver hair tends to be dryer and more porous than hair that still has its former colour, so it can be more prone to absorbing molecules from the environment that leave it looking yellow and dull. Because it’s pale to begin with, natural white-silver hair also tends to show yellow deposits more than coloured hair. Smoke, chlorine, dust, dirt and even sunlight can deposit yellow tones that, over time, appear dirty and dull. A silver shampoo not only removes dirt and cleans the hair shaft, it also deposits a violet-blue pigment that cancels out yellow, leaving natural silver hair looking cleaner and brighter.Natural silver hair will benefit from a silver shampoo once or twice a week to maintain a brighter silver tone. Dyed silver hair can be washed with a silver shampoo once a week. Alternate with your colour care shampoo to avoid rinsing out dyed colour.

If you have a full head of blonde hair, apply the silver shampoo evenly. You may find more yellow or brassy tones at the roots of your hair; if this is the case, apply the shampoo to your roots first and leave on for three to five minutes before applying to the rest of your hair. We recommend the Silver Neutralising Cream for grey and white hair, also from Serie Expert.

The best silver shampoos to buy

For blonde and silver shades, stylists usually use a bleaching product to lighten the hair, followed by a toner. The bleach lifts the colour up to the desired level, while the toner gives it – literally – the tones you want. But this toner can wear off after over-washing/styling, or if not correctly applied, revealing the warmer nuances of the lifted hair beneath. A ptly named the Silver Shampoo from the Serie Expert Silver collection, this gentle but effective formula not only cleanses the hair like any shampoo, but also neutralises any unwanted brassiness or yellowness thanks to its deep purple tones. This shampoo/silver toner for hair is just as effective on grey hair as it is on platinum and other light blonde shades which can suffer from the same brassy tones. Use it as you would a normal shampoo: apply, massage (leave on according to instructions) and rinse, then follow with the Neutralising conditioner. When it comes to conditioner, your best option is a lightweight treatment that supports your shampoo to prevent any yellow undertones from developing, while also caring for your hair. Naturally grey hair can often be weaker and more brittle, so a silver conditioner with hair-strengthening ceramides can really help support the fibres. Purple shampoo, often also known as silver shampoo, delivers the perfect solution for brass. Its clever pigmented formula works to neutralise your hair’s warm tones, allowing you to wear your blonde as ashy or silver as you want.
