- 16 min reading time
What is the best silver shampoo right now? Coloured blonde hair needs much more colouring than you can afford at the salon, so use these shampoos to keep those yellow tones away at home.
Silver shampoo is for men and women with blonde, grey or white hair. Thanks to the violet (purple) pigments in the shampoo, these shampoos are Perfect to get rid of that annoying yellow tinge. The colour is purple/blue, so it neutralises the opposite colour, in this case the unwanted yellow tone. Washing your hair daily with a silver shampoo keeps warmth out of your hair and saves you weekly trips to the salon. Before we dive further into silver shampoo, we've already listed the best silver shampoo for you below, the top 10 of 2021. This is for quick deciders, then we’ll go deeper into the how and why and the best silver tone based on your hair type and colour.
What is the best Silver Shampoo?
There are many types of silver shampoo available, often varying in pigment amount when formulated. But what truly is the best silver shampoo? It all depends on your hair and hair type. A Silver shampoo from Syoss has clearly less pigment than, for example, the More Extreme Silver shampoo. This makes sense: the cheaper the product must be, the lower quality the ingredients often are. From the first use, you will really notice the difference between a professSional silver shampoo and a cheaper variant. We've compiled a top 10, ranking the silver shampoos from most pigment to less.
What is the TOP 10 best-selling Silver Shampoo of 2026?
Nowadays, there are so many silver shampoos on the market. But which ones are really good, and which suits your hair best? This varies per person, depending on your hair and hair type. However, we compiled a top 10 based on silver shampoos with the most violet pigment, as they are in highest demand.
- More Extreme Silvershampoo
- Fanola No yellow Shampoo
- Fudge Damage Rewind Violet Shampoo
- Schwarzkopf Goodbye Yellow
- Indola Innova Silver Shampoo
- Fudge Violet Shampoo
- Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo
- Schwarzkopf Freeze Silver Shampoo
- TIGI Fashionista Violet Shampoo
- L'Oreal Silver Shampoo
We tested these and the order is based on the amount of purple pigment in the silver shampoo. Of course, a silver shampoo might contain too much pigment for your hair. If you have very white hair, the colour after washing can turn pink or purple. This is easily avoided by mixing the shampoo with another shampoo. This way you can adjust the effect yourself.
Is silver shampoo bad for your hair?
Silver shampoo is not directly bad for your hair. However, silver shampoos with very strong pigments usually contain little to no nourishing ingredients. This can make your hair stiff, like rope. Luckily, this is easy to fix by using a hair mask or a great conditioner. You can also use a silver shampoo with less pigment but more nourishing ingredients, so your hair feels less stiff. Because it contains less pigment, you can use it daily. If you prefer using a silver shampoo with a lot of pigment once or twice a week, make sure to use a hair mask and conditioner. Recently, there’s a new bestseller that perfectly combines the benefits of the Fanola and Fudge shampoos. It has as much pigment as Fanola and as much nourishment as Fudge - and it is even Le Malen cheaper!
What is the best silver mask?
Maybe you’re looking for the best silver mask, but there is no one answer for that. It depends entirely on your hair colour, type (highlights, fully blonde, etc.) and your requirements for a silver mask. Schwarzkopf BlondMe Tone Enhancing Bonding Mask Cool Blondes intensively nourishes your blonde hair and neutralises yellow tones. Added keratin fills the porous hair shaft for a mirror-smooth surface, and marula oil strengthens, softens and adds shine. For quick results, try Goldwell Dualsenses Blondes and Highlights 60 Seconds Treatment.

What is the very best Silver conditioner of 2023?
Besides a good Silver shampoo, you want an excellent Silver conditioner. There are many Silver conditioners on the market, with more arriving regularly. The Loreal Serie Expert MagneSium Silver Cream is a good silver conditioner that neutralises yellow tones, contains ceramide and babassu oil, leaving your hair smooth, supple, pure and shiny. Your hair will look radiant again, without yellow tones. As if you just came from the salon.
But the absolute best Silver conditioner is the MORE Silver Conditioner. This silver conditioner makes your hair silky soft and neutralises yellow tones extremely well. After the bestseller shampoo, they came back as a powerhouse with this conditioner!
Fanola No yellow Maskers naturally also contain purple pigments that remove yellow tones from your locks. However, the No yellow Masker nourishes more than the shampoo, basically acting as the conditioner of the set, with more nourishing ingredients. For an optimal combo that creates a cool tone and nourishes your locks, it's recommended to combine the Fanola No yellow set with the Fanola No yellow Masker.
Fanola ‘No yellow Masker’ and ‘No yellow Shampoo’ contain extra purple pigments to give your hair that cool, silvery blonde tone and prolong it while making your hair feel much more natural. If you’re fine with only the No yellow Shampoo, we recommend our set with the Nutri Cure Conditioner. For the best results, opt for the No yellow Masker. Combining all three is ideal. Use the mask once or twice a week to eliminate yellow tones entirely. Meanwhile, your hair gets daily care thanks to the Nutri Care.
What is the safest silver shampoo?
If you're looking for a silver shampoo free from harmful ingredients like carcinogens, hormone disruptors and others, that’s possible. People are increasingly aware of what they put on their skin and hair. We want natural simplicity, no chemicals. The same goes for silver shampoo. We have a silver shampoo that is safe and also Vegan, which is a great bonus. Why? More people can buy this version, meaning more households have a safe shampoo option :) A little safer Netherlands every day.
Is there a 100% Vegan silver shampoo?
Today, many of us want to make the world a bit better. Asking if there's a 100% Vegan silver shampoo is a brilliant question! And yes, they exist. Maria Nila is a great brand that is fully 100% Vegan, including their silver shampoo.
Perhaps you want a Vegan silver shampoo, meaning free from animal ingredients and cruelty-free (no animal testing). We have multiple options listed below:
- InSight Anti-Yellow Shampoo
- SachaJuan Silver Shampoo
- Maria Nila Sheer Silver
- REF Silver Shampoo
Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo is also a nourishing silver shampoo that neutralises yellow tones. It contains the Color Guard Complex that protects your hair from colour loss caused by washing, heat and UV styling.
But Maria Nila is not the only one! Another favourite brand for us is REF Sweden, also a 100% Vegan line. Of course, the clever minds at REF Sweden haven't lagged behind in silver shampoo and have brought out a Silver shampoo: the REF Sweden Cool Silver Shampoo. Unfortunately, there’s no Silver conditioner yet, but the shampoo alone contains enough pigment to neutralise yellow tones.
The wonderful brand Sachajuan also offers both a purple shampoo and a Silver conditioner. On the page Vegan Silver Shampoo you’ll find more info about Vegan silver shampoos.
What is the best silver shampoo for red hair?
Do you have beautiful red hair? Whether dyed or natural, it doesn’t matter, but you want to remove warm tones. Then choose the Fanola No Orange or the Fudge Brunette. These are specially developed for red and copper tones. This is different from silver shampoo, which neutralises yellow tones. It’s all about the colour. For more info, we recommend the Silver Shampoo page, where it explains this in simple terms.
What is the best silver shampoo for grey hair?
For grey hair, you need a true silver shampoo, one that neutralises yellow tones. The choice here is diverse. If you want a silver shampoo with a lot of pigment and nourishing properties, go for the MORE Extreme. This silver shampoo can be part of your daily hair routine.
Is the Fanola No yellow Shampoo really that good?
A very well-known one is the Fanola No yellow Shampoo, an absolute hype among silver shampoos. This product comes from Italy and contains so much pigment that use of gloves is recommended. There are tons of positive reviews and these keep coming in, which is why this Fanola Silver Shampoo is in the top 3 best silver shampoos ever!
Is there a silver shampoo even better than Fanola Silver Shampoo?
Since 2020, a new silver shampoo has appeared that’s hard to beat. It’s the silver shampoo from MORE Haircare. MORE has managed to cram an incredible amount of violet pigment into a shampoo, plus intense nourishment for your hair! MORE Haircare offers two variants:
The difference between these two heavily pigmented silver shampoos is that the regular Silver Shampoo from MORE Haircare contains a lot of shine/glitter. When you see the shampoo, it looks like a galaxy! At our office, we call it the Galaxy Silver Shampoo! The Extreme Silver Shampoo has even more pigment than the regular one.
Is the MORE Silver Shampoo even better than Fudge and Fanola?
For years, Fanola was the strongest silver shampoo on the market, clearly number one. Later came the Fudge Silver Shampoo. Although it has less pigment, it neutralises well. However, Fudge has more nourishing ingredients, so many people prefer it over Fanola.
Where does MORE Silver Shampoo stand? It’s clearly above Fudge and Fanola, which says a lot! We’re very critical, but after comparing, it's obvious. MORE Silver Shampoo contains way more pigment than Fudge and a bit more than Fanola, plus nourishing ingredients that stop hair from feeling like rope. Best of both worlds, and for a better price!
MORE for Less isn’t just their slogan ♡
We’re big fans of this new brand, specialised in silver shampoo.
How does the Fanola No yellow Silver Shampoo effect work?
The No yellow shampoo, also known as silver shampoo or Fanola Purple shampoo, does exactly what it should. It turns warm blonde locks into ash-toned ones. The purple pigments create a lovely cool shade. The longer you leave it on, the stronger the effect. However, silver shampoo isn’t very nourishing, so it’s recommended not to use No yellow daily. The Nutri Care conditioner provides nourishment for your locks.
Fanola is well-known for excellent Silver Shampoo and now Silver Conditioner, used on blonde (bleached), highlights, coupe soleil, balayage or grey hair to keep those cool colours (grey, ash and grey tones) longer. Yellow tones sometimes appear due to various reasons—environmental or bleaching. If your locks contain red pigment (from dye or natural) and you want blonde, you might end up with orange, yellow or too warm blonde tones. It’s a common issue. You want a cool blonde shade but it turns warmer or yellower than you want.
Is there a silver shampoo free of sulphates, parabens and Silicones?
Sulphates, parabens and Silicones aren’t great for your hair and scalp. Sulphates and parabens are harsh cleansers that may irritate sensitive scalps. Most people don’t experience issues, and sulphates work well in silver shampoo.
Why are sulphates ideal? They open hair cuticles, allowing violet pigments to penetrate hair and neutralise yellow or orange (blue shampoo) tones better. This is why sulphates are sometimes preferred in silver shampoos, especially if you’re not sensitive.
Luckily, there are also silver shampoos without SLS for sensitive scalps.
REF Sweden Silver shampoo and Maria Nila Sheer Silver are not only 100% Vegan, but both are free of sulphates, parabens and Silicones. Schwarzkopf Professional’s Goodbye Yellow is free from SLS/SLES sulphates. TIGI Catwalk Fashionista Violet Shampoo is sulphate-free. Keune Silver Shampoo is paraben-free.
Is there a Travelsize silver shampoo?
If you're going on holiday, you want to keep your cool blonde locks. There’s nothing better than a Travelsize silver shampoo on the go when citytripping. With plastic-free products from ShampooBars, you choose green and they’re easy to take in your hand luggage! They even have a Silver Shampoo Bar. To be fully prepared for your (mini) holiday, pack the Fudge Tri-Blo Violet Spray in your bag. It’s not available in a travel size yet, but it’s a lightweight product, so no hassle.
Maria Nila also offers a silver shampoo in Travelsize, namely the Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo.
Which silver shampoo should I use on dark hair?
If you’re brunette or have dark locks, you often have unwanted orange/red tones. That means a silver shampoo neutralising yellow tones often won’t work. Luckily, there’s No Orange for this purpose. Fanola No Orange is specially for brunettes, and Fudge has also launched a great product called Fudge Cool Brunette. Unsure if your tone is yellowish or more orange? Then the Schwarzkopf Goodbye Yellow is a safe choice. It contains a unique mix of purple and blue pigments that fight both yellow and orange tones. Its pH is adjusted to 4.5 for effective, long-lasting results. It’s a newly developed silver shampoo from Schwarzkopf definitely worth trying and watching.
How do I best use a Silver shampoo?
We understand it can be tricky to know what to do. The page Silver Shampoo has plenty of info including how to use purple shampoo. It covers everything you need to know so you can start with your silver shampoo right away. Use it daily or three times a week. Learn why purple shampoo exists and how it differs from blue shampoo.
