Choosing from Grey & Silver Hair Care
Care for naturally grey, silver and white hair: violet toning shampoos to keep it bright, nourishing masks for coarser texture, and colour-depositing shampoos if you would rather blend or cover.

Grey hair often feels different as well as looking different. Strands can be coarser and drier, and silver and white shades pick up yellow or brassy tones from hard water, heat styling and pollution. A simple grey-hair routine usually combines a gentle shampoo, a violet or purple toner once or twice a week, and a richer conditioner or mask.

This collection has around 225 products. For embracing your silver, there are purple and violet toning shampoos, conditioners and masks from Aveda Blue Malva, Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights, ORIBE Silverati, AGE beautiful, Klorane, Kenra, Joico, Karseell and Botanic Hearth, plus leave-in serums and finishing oils. For blending or covering grey, there is a wide range of 3-in-1 colour-depositing hair dye shampoos in black, brown, chestnut and burgundy from brands such as KAISASA, Herbishh, iemokoda, IIIMEIDU and Farndu. Most products cost between about £25 and £46. Products for thinning hair or hair growth are not included here.

If you use a colour shampoo or any hair dye, carry out a skin allergy test 48 hours before every use, as the instructions advise, wear gloves and keep it away from eyebrows and eyelashes. Purple shampoos only tone; they don't change your base colour.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I use purple shampoo on grey hair?

Once or twice a week is enough for most people, alternating with a gentle everyday shampoo. Leaving it on longer gives a stronger toning effect, but on very light or white hair too much can leave a lilac tint.

What is a hair dye shampoo?

It is a shampoo-style colour that deposits semi-permanent pigment while you wash, usually left on for 10 to 20 minutes. It blends or covers grey and fades over time. Always do a skin allergy test 48 hours before use.

Why does grey hair turn yellow?

Grey and white hair has little pigment, so yellow tones from hard-water minerals, heat styling, smoke and some styling products show more easily. Violet-toned shampoos counteract that yellow.

Does grey hair need different conditioner?

Grey hair often feels coarser or drier, so a moisturising conditioner and a weekly mask can help with softness and frizz. Look for purple conditioners if you also want to keep the tone bright.
