Use silver shampoo correctly against yellow tinge

Silver shampoo, or violet shampoo, combats the yellow cast and gives blonde hair a platinum shimmer. But how do you use it correctly and which shampoo is the best choice? Find out more in our article.

The true star among blonde shades is still platinum blonde. But no blonde seems as hard to achieve, let alone keep, as a cool blonde shade. If you too want to join the colour trend and dye your hair a light blonde, then a silver shampoo is a must-have. Only with this miracle weapon will your hair really stay ashy.

A silver shampoo contains violet pigments that prevent the yellow cast in blond or grey hair. The yellow tint is caused by bleaching. This is neutralised after colouring with a tint and then preserved with a silver shampoo.

With grey hair, the yellow tinge is either caused by deposits or it appears yellowish due to the incidence of light. Here, too, the shampoo can counteract.

Silver shampoos clean the hair just like a conventional shampoo. Additional cleansing is therefore not necessary. As blond or grey hair is usually dry and stressed, silver shampoos care for the hair with the help of nourishing oils and moisturising ingredients.

The great thing about silver shampoos is that you can vary your hair colour! Depending on the application time and intensity of the colour pigments, you can give your hair a trendy granny look. Find out how to do this below.

Everyone with blonde hair should have a silver shampoo in their beauty cabinet. It is suitable for almost all blonde tones. Even people with grey hair should definitely use this miracle product from time to time.

The sun's rays lighten the hair and can make it look yellow. Silver shampoo prevents this effect. Therefore, silver shampoo should definitely be taken along on holiday.

After colouring in the salon, the hair is usually nice and ashy. Over time, the yellow tinge can come back. If you use a silver shampoo regularly, the unattractive shimmer doesn't stand a chance.

If you are naturally greying or have white hair, you can use a silver shampoo to intensify and vary your grey tone.

Not only grey blonde tones can be refreshed with a silver shampoo. A beige or neutral blonde shade can also appear yellowish over time. A silver shampoo can be used on any blonde, even if it is a little darker.

Basically, the darker the blonde, the longer the violet shampoo has to be left on for you to see an effect.

A silver shampoo is applied like a conventional shampoo. Wet your hair, distribute a small amount in the palms of your hands and massage it well into your hair. It is best to wear gloves when washing your hair, otherwise your hands may get stained.

Leave the foam on for 2-5 minutes, depending on the desired result.

Then rinse, condition and style as usual. With regular use, you can intensify the look and go from a platinum blonde to a granny look. You can also use the silver shampoo on dry hair to make a cool blonde even more silvery.

There are different silver shampoos depending on your needs. A stronger effect, better care or natural ingredients, what is most important to you?
