What is the best silver shampoo?

What is the best silver shampoo right now? Colored blonde hair needs much more coloring than we can afford at the salon, so with the following shampoos, you can keep those yellow tones out at home.
Silver Shampoo is the shampoo for ladies and gentlemen with blonde, gray, or white hair. Because of the Violet (purple) pigments in the shampoo, these shampoos are perfect for getting rid of that annoying yellow tint. The color is purple/blue, so it neutralizes the opposite color, in this case the unwanted yellow hair color. By washing your hair daily with a Silver Shampoo, you keep the warmth out of the hair and don’t have to visit the salon every week. Before we continue with silver shampoo, we have already listed the best silver shampoo for you below and the top 10 of 2021. This is for quick decision-makers; then we will go further into the how and what exactly and the best silver shade based on your hair type and hair color.
What is the best Silver Shampoo?
There are many types of Silver Shampoo available, and there is often a difference in the amount of pigment used in the product's formulation. But what is really the best silver shampoo? It all depends on your hair and hair type. A Silver Shampoo from Syoss clearly contains less pigment than, for example, the More Extreme Silver shampoo. This makes sense, the cheaper the product usually is, the less qualitative the ingredients are. You will notice the difference very well from the first use between a professional silver shampoo and a cheaper variant. We have compiled a top 10, with number 1 being the silver shampoo with the most pigment, then descending.
What is the TOP 10 best-selling Silver Shampoo of 2026?
Nowadays there are a lot of silver shampoos on the market. But which ones are actually good, and even better, which one suits my hair best? This naturally varies per person, as it depends on your hair and hair type. However, we have compiled a top 10 based on silver shampoos with the most violet pigment, since these are the most in 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 have tested this, and the order is based on the amount of purple pigment in the silver shampoo. Of course, a silver shampoo can also have too much pigment for your hair. If you have very white hair, the color can quickly turn pink or purple after washing. This is easy to prevent by mixing the shampoo with another shampoo when you use it. This way, you can play a bit with the effect of the shampoo yourself.
Is silver shampoo bad for your hair?
Silver shampoo is not directly bad for your hair. However, what happens is that silver shampoo with very strong pigment usually contains little to no nutrients. This results in stiff hair that feels like rope. But this is very easy to fix by using a hair mask or a really good conditioner. You can also use a silver shampoo that contains less pigment but more nourishing ingredients so your hair won’t be so stiff. Because it has less pigment, you can use it daily. If you prefer to use a silver shampoo with a crazy amount of pigment once or twice a week, it’s a good idea to use a hair mask and conditioner. However, there is a new bestseller on the market that is the ideal combination of Fanola and Fudge shampoo. It has as much pigment as Fanola and as much nourishment as Fudge. Plus, it’s much cheaper!
What is the best silver mask?
Perhaps you are looking for the best silver mask, but again, there isn’t a single answer to that. Why? It completely depends on your hair color, hair type (highlights, fully blonde, etc.), and the requirements you have for a silver mask. Schwarzkopf BlondMe Tone Enhancing Bonding Mask Cool Blondes intensely cares for your blonde hair and neutralizes yellow tones. Added keratin fills the porous hair shaft for a mirror-smooth surface, and marula oil makes hair stronger, softer, and shinier. If you want quick results, you’ll want Goldwell Dualsenses Blondes and Highlights 60 Seconds Treatment.

Below you will find the most frequently asked questions about silver shampoo.

What is the very best silver conditioner of 2023?
Besides a good silver shampoo, you also want a rock-solid silver conditioner. There are several silver conditioners on the market, and more keep coming. The Loreal Serie Expert Magnesium Silver Cream is a good silver conditioner that neutralizes yellow tones, contains ceramide and babassu oil, and makes your hair wonderfully smooth, supple, pure, and shiny. Your hair looks radiant again, without yellow tones. As if you just came from the hairdresser.
But the absolute best silver conditioner is the MORE Silver Conditioner. This silver conditioner makes your hair silky soft but also neutralizes yellow tones extremely well. Again, after the bestseller shampoo, they have come through as a powerhouse with the silver conditioner!
Fanola No Yellow Masker naturally also contains the purple pigments, which make the yellow tint disappear from your locks. However, the No Yellow Masker nourishes more than the shampoo. In fact, this mask is the conditioner of the set. It contains more nourishing ingredients. To ensure an optimal combination between creating a cool tint and nourishing your locks, it is therefore recommended to combine the Fanola No Yellow set with the Fanola No Yellow Masker.
Fanola ‘No Yellow Mask’ and ‘No Yellow Shampoo’ contain extra purple pigments that give your hair that cool, silvery blonde tone and help it last longer while making your hair feel much more natural. If the No Yellow Shampoo is enough for you, we recommend our set with the Nutri Care Conditioner. For maximum results, we recommend the No Yellow Mask. A combination of all three is ideal. This way, you can apply the mask once or twice a week to your locks so your hair truly has no yellow glow. Still, you get daily care thanks to the Nutri Care.
What is the safest silver shampoo?
Are you looking for a silver shampoo free from all kinds of harmful ingredients like carcinogens, hormone disruptors, and other substances? That’s possible; more and more people are becoming aware of what we actually eat and apply. We want things natural and simple again, no chemicals. The same goes for silver shampoo. We have a silver shampoo that is safe and also VEGAN, which is a nice bonus. Why? More people can then buy this version, meaning there’s another household with a safe shampoo option :) Every day, a little safer Netherlands.
Does a 100% vegan silver shampoo exist?
Nowadays, we are all trying to make the world a little more beautiful and better. So the question of whether a 100% vegan silver shampoo exists is not strange at all. In fact, it’s a great question! And yes, they do exist. Maria Nila is a brilliant brand that is completely 100% vegan, including the silver shampoo.
Maybe you want a vegan silver shampoo, meaning a silver shampoo completely free of animal ingredients. Not only that, you also want a silver shampoo that has not been subjected to cruel animal testing. We have several options for you, see below:
Sheer Silver Shampoo from Maria Nila is also a nourishing silver shampoo that neutralizes yellow tones. This silver shampoo also contains the Color Guard Complex, which protects your hair from color loss caused by washing, heat, and UV styling.
But of course, Maria Nila is not the only one! No, definitely not. Another favorite brand of our team is REF Sweden, also a 100% vegan line. Naturally, the smart minds at REF Sweden couldn't be left behind in silver Shampoo land and have also launched a Silver Shampoo. The REF Sweden Cool Silver Shampoo. Unfortunately, there is no Silver Conditioner available, but that is not necessary since this silver Shampoo contains enough pigment to neutralize your yellow tones.
There is also the beautiful brand Sachajuan, they have both a purple Shampoo and a silver Conditioner. On the Vegan Silver Shampoo page, you will find more information about silver Shampoos that are vegan.
What is the best silver Shampoo for red hair?
Do you have beautiful red hair? Whether it's dyed or natural, it doesn't matter, but you want to remove warm tones. Then you come to Fanola No Orange or Fudge Brunette. These are specially developed for red and copper tones. That is, of course, different from a silver Shampoo that neutralizes yellow tones. It all has to do with the color. If you want to find more information about this, we recommend you visit the Silver Shampoo page. It goes into this further and explains very simply how it works exactly.
What is the best silver Shampoo for gray hair?
For gray hair, you need a real silver Shampoo, one that neutralizes yellow tones. The choice here is very varied. If you're looking for a silver Shampoo that contains a lot of pigment and is nourishing, then you come to the MORE EXTREME. This is a silver Shampoo you can add to your hair routine daily.
Is the Fanola No Yellow Shampoo really that good?
A very well-known one is of course the Fanola No Yellow Shampoo, which is a huge hype among Silver Shampoos. This product comes from Italy and contains so much pigment that it’s recommended to use gloves when applying this shampoo. There are tons of glowing reviews about the shampoo, and they keep coming, which is why this Fanola Silver Shampoo is among the top 3 best silver shampoos ever!
Is there a silver shampoo that’s even better than the Fanola Silver Shampoo?
Since 2020, a new silver shampoo has come onto the market, and it doesn’t hold back. This is the silver shampoo from MORE Haircare. MORE has managed to pack an incredible amount of violet pigment into a shampoo along with intense nourishment for your hair! MORE Haircare offers two variants, namely:
The difference between these two strongly pigmented silver shampoos is that the regular Silver Shampoo from MORE Haircare contains a lot of shine/glitter. When you look at the shampoo, it almost looks like you’re looking at a galaxy. Here at the office, it’s already called the Galaxy Silver Shampoo! The Extreme Silver Shampoo contains even more pigment than the regular Silver Shampoo.
Is the MORE Silver Shampoo even better than Fudge and Fanola?
For years, Fanola was the most powerful silver shampoo on the market, clearly number 1. Later, the Fudge Silver Shampoo came along. Although it contains less pigment, it neutralizes well. However, Fudge contains more nourishing ingredients, which is why people often prefer Fudge over Fanola.
So where does the MORE Silver Shampoo stand? It clearly ranks just above Fudge and Fanola, and that says a lot! We are very critical, but after comparing the shampoos, it’s obvious. The MORE Silver Shampoo contains a lot of pigment, clearly more than Fudge and even a bit more than Fanola, and it also contains nourishing ingredients that make sure your hair doesn’t feel like rope. Best of both worlds, and all for an even better price!
MORE for Less is not their slogan for nothing ♡
We are huge fans of this new brand, which specializes 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, absolutely does what it’s supposed to do. It transforms warm blonde locks into ash-colored locks. The purple pigments ensure you get a beautiful cool tone. The longer you leave the No Yellow on, the more effective it works. However, the silver shampoo is hardly nourishing. That’s why it’s recommended not to use No Yellow every day. The Nutri Care conditioner then provides nourishment for your locks.
Fanola is known for the excellent Silver Shampoo and now also the Silver Conditioner, which is used on blonde (bleached), highlights, coupe soleil, balayage, or gray hair and is meant to keep those beautiful cool colors (gray, ash, and gray tones) longer. For various reasons, a yellow tint can sometimes appear in your colored locks. Discoloration can be caused by the environment or because you’ve bleached your hair. If your locks contain red pigment (from dyeing or naturally) and you want to dye your hair blonde, you might end up with orange, yellow, or blonde locks with a too warm yellow tint. It’s a common problem. You want a beautiful cool blonde shade, but it turns warmer or yellower than you want.
Is there a silver shampoo that’s free of sulfates, parabens, and silicones?
Sulfates, parabens, and silicones aren’t really good for your hair and scalp. Sulfates and parabens are harsh cleansers that can cause an irritated scalp in people who are sensitive to them. However, most people don’t have issues with this, and especially with silver shampoo, a sulfate is quite ideal.
Why are sulfates ideal? They open the hair cuticles, allowing the violet pigment to penetrate the hair better and neutralize the yellow or orange tint (blue shampoo). That’s a reason to choose sulfates in your silver shampoo, especially if you’re not sensitive to them.
Fortunately, there are also silver shampoos without SLS for people who are sensitive to it.
The REF Sweden silver shampoo and the Maria Nila Sheer Silver are not only 100% Vegan, but both are also free of sulfates, parabens, and silicones. The Goodbye Yellow from Schwarzkopf Professional is free of SLS/SLES sulfates. The TIGI Catwalk Fashionista Violet Shampoo is sulfate-free. The Keune Silver Shampoo is paraben-free.
Is there a travel-size silver shampoo?
When you go on vacation, you want to keep your beautiful, cool blonde locks. There’s nothing better than having a travel-size silver shampoo on the go if you’re planning a city trip. With the plastic-free products from ShampooBars, you’re not only choosing green, but the shampoo bars are also easy to carry in your hand luggage! They even have a Zilvershampoo Bar. If you want to be fully prepared for your (mini) vacation, you can also toss Fudge Tri-Blo Violet Spray into your travel bag. Unfortunately, this one is not available in a travel size, but the good thing is that it’s a lightweight hair product, so it won’t weigh you down.
Of course, Maria Nila also offers silver shampoo in travel size, namely Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo.
Which silver shampoo should I use for dark hair?
If you are a brunette or have dark locks, you are more likely to have an orange/red tint in your hair that you don’t want. That’s why a silver shampoo that neutralizes yellow tones often doesn’t work. Fortunately, this has been considered, and No Orange was developed for this purpose. Fanola No Orange is specially made for brunettes, and Fudge has also brought an excellent product to the market, namely Fudge Cool Brunette. If you’re not quite sure whether it’s more yellowish or orangey, you can always rely on Schwarzkopf Goodbye Yellow, which contains a unique combination of purple and blue pigments. This combination not only counteracts yellow in the hair but also orange tones. The formula is adjusted to a pH level of 4.5 for effective and long-lasting results. It’s a newly developed silver shampoo from Schwarzkopf that’s definitely worth trying and keeping an eye on.
How can I best use a silver shampoo?
We understand it can be difficult to know what to do best. The Silver Shampoo page contains a lot of information about, among other things, using a purple shampoo. It basically has everything you need to know so you can start right away with your silver shampoo. Whether you use it daily or three times a week. And why there is purple shampoo and how it differs from blue shampoo. You will also discover which silver shampoo best suits your hair and the requirements you have. Highlights require a different silver shampoo than fully bleached hair.
Can I also complement my silver shampoo with silver styling?
Especially for ladies with beautiful bleached locks, more than just silver shampoo is desired. They want to use haircare and styling products containing violet pigment after shampooing. The hairdressing world is constantly evolving, and nowadays there are plenty of haircare products that make every blonde intensely happy!
There are various types of silver sprays available that make your hair silky soft while removing yellow tones. There are also heat protectants on the market that protect your beautiful blonde hair before using heat tools and still maintain your cool blonde look.
