Silver Shampoo, it’s a maze. In recent years, silver shampoo has become enormously popular. Wherever you look, there are so many types of silver shampoo that you can’t see the forest for the trees. We thought it was time to provide some clarity in the world of silver shampoos and help you find the right silver shampoo.
What exactly is a Silver Shampoo?
A silver shampoo is purple or blue in color. A silver shampoo is used on blonde, gray, or white hair to remove unwanted yellow tones. The blonde, gray, or white hair gets a cool/ashy undertone, while the hair is naturally also cleansed.
What does a silver shampoo do?
Silver shampoo is used for blonde, gray, or white hair, but also bleached or lightened hair. A silver shampoo is ideal for giving light hair colors a cool tone. It can also happen that you suffer from yellow or orange tones in the hair while you prefer a cool undertone. In that case, a silver shampoo also works effectively to remove warm tones from the hair. You might wonder how it is possible that the violet-colored tones neutralize the yellow/orange tint. This is because opposite colors neutralize each other. The color yellow is opposite blue/purple on the color wheel. A purple-pigmented shampoo therefore eliminates the yellow tint in the hair.
Can I use only violet shampoo?
This depends on the Violet Shampoo you choose. There are silver shampoos that mainly consist of violet-colored tones and few nourishing ingredients. There are also shampoos that contain more nourishing ingredients, which means there will be less room for the violet-colored tones. Depending on the amount of nourishing ingredients a silver shampoo offers, it may or may not be necessary to apply a silver conditioner.
If you want to use silver shampoo every day, we recommend a silver shampoo with many nourishing ingredients like the Maria Nila Sheer Silver. If you really want an intense silver shampoo, purely to neutralize your yellow/orange glow, then the Fanola No Yellow suitable, this is a very powerful silver shampoo.
Do you actually want both, so a silver shampoo with a lot of violet pigment, but also with plenty of nourishing ingredients so you can use it every day? Then you are perfectly matched with the MORE Extreme Silver. This powerful and nourishing silver shampoo is one of our bestsellers! More Haircare also has a matching Silver Conditioner developed without sulfates or parabens, with nourishing ingredients and powerful purple pigmentation!
Can Silver Shampoo be used on hair extensions?
That can definitely happen, hair extensions are a bit more sensitive than your own hair, so some extra care certainly won't hurt. We therefore recommend using a silver shampoo that contains more nourishing ingredients. You can also use a mask after using a silver shampoo for extra care, then finish with a conditioner to close the hair cuticles (filled with nourishing ingredients from the mask).
Can a silver shampoo make your strands purple?
If you've been a bit too enthusiastic, your hair can get a purple tint. No stress.. purple is an easy color to remove. One or two washes with a regular shampoo and you're done. However, to prevent this, it's important not to leave a silver shampoo on too long. The longer you leave the silver shampoo on, the more time the purple pigments have to do their work, and thus the more intense the result will be. If you have white hair, we recommend choosing a silver shampoo that is not too strong. You then need less of the Violet Pigments. For example, go for the L'Oreal SE Magnesium Silver Shampoo . The shampoo ensures that your gray or white strands regain a natural radiant shine and contains nourishing ingredients.
How do I best care for my blonde/gray hair after using a silver shampoo?
The easiest thing you can do is use a set with products that match each other, for example the Maria Nila Sheer Silver Set or the More Haircare The Complete Silver Set. These sets both consist of a silver shampoo, conditioner, and treatment that are also free from sulfates and parabens! After washing your hair with a silver shampoo, you can further care for it with a good conditioner. Take for example the REF Cool Silver Shampoo in combination with the REF Cool Silver Conditioner. There are also various silver sprays you can use to care for your hair and refresh the cool hair color: Indola Blonde Expert Insta Cool Spray and Fudge Clean Blonde Violet Tri-Blo Spray.
How often do you use a purple shampoo?
How often you use a silver shampoo depends on the type of silver shampoo, your daily routine, and your hair. If you have an intense silver shampoo with fewer nourishing ingredients, we recommend washing your hair 1 to 2 times a week with a silver shampoo. However, if you have very white hair, this is not necessary. Then you can go for a silver shampoo that contains fewer violet pigments. If you want to wash your locks every day with a silver shampoo, we advise a shampoo that also contains enough nourishing ingredients. If you have a strong yellow tint in your hair, it is important to use a strong Violet Shampoo that contains enough nourishing ingredients and powerful purple pigments like the Indola Silver Shampoo #1 Wash. This shampoo refreshes and cleans white, gray, or light blonde hair and neutralizes unwanted copper and yellow tones in the hair. The shampoo contains a special nourishing ingredient that protects the hair structure. A good addition not only to keep the yellow tint out of your hair but especially to care for your locks is the Fanola No Yellow Mask. Cool tones and wonderfully soft locks! The Fanola No Yellow Hair Mask is actually a silver conditioner.
How long should a silver shampoo be left on?
The processing time of a silver shampoo varies depending on the silver shampoo and your hair type or hair condition. A stronger silver shampoo like the Fudge Violet Shampoo Let it absorb for 2 to 3 minutes. If you really have a strong yellow tint, you can leave the silver shampoo on for about 7 minutes. If you have very light hair, you need to be careful that your hair doesn't turn purple, and it's better to choose a shorter processing time. You can experiment with the processing time of a silver shampoo to discover how long you should leave the silver shampoo on. Always keep a close eye on your hair while the silver shampoo is working. For light, colored hair, we recommend using a silver shampoo that contains more nourishing ingredients and fewer violet pigments like the Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo or the Schwarzkopf Professional Goodbye Yellow.
Are there extra products that complement the silver shampoo?
If you really quickly get a yellow glow in your hair, it is advisable to use products alongside the shampoo and conditioner that also contain violet pigments. This can be, for example, a hair mask are with purple pigments or a silver spray. Fudge is one of the first brands to have launched two beautiful products on the market to care for the hair even further alongside the silver shampoo and to eliminate warm tones even more. The Fudge Tri-blo Violet Spray was the first. This spray, which not only protects your hair from heat from, among others, your hairdryer, also makes the yellow glow in your hair disappear like snow in the sun! In addition, Fudge launched in August 2018 the Fugde Violet Xpander Foam launched on the market. This brilliant mousse gives your locks volume, shine, and of course a beautiful cool tone. In other words, bye bye yellow glow!
Are there silver shampoo masks?
There are also a number of hair masks that contain violet pigments, and thus also neutralize the yellow tones in your hair. Just like a good silver shampoo. The following hair masks contain purple pigments, so they perfectly match your silver shampoo:
- Maria Nila Sheer Silver Masque
- Schwarzkopf Blond Me Tone Enhancing Bonding Mask Cool
- Goldwell Blondes & Highlights 60sec Treatment
Is silver shampoo bad for your scalp?
Silver shampoo is not directly bad for your scalp. However, it can happen that you get a dry scalp if you are sensitive to it. This only concerns silver shampoos that almost exclusively consist of violet pigments. Our team recommends using a milder silver shampoo with natural and nourishing ingredients for a sensitive scalp, such as the Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo.
Is there also a vegan silver shampoo without parabens and sulfates?
Do you prefer to avoid parabens and sulfates in your hair routine but still want to use a silver shampoo? That’s possible! Nowadays, there are silver shampoos that contain no parabens and sulfates; we have highlighted them for you below:
- More Haircare Extreme Silver Shampoo
- REF Cool Silver Shampoo
- Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo
- Insight Incolor Anti-Yellow Shampoo
- Fudge Clean Blonde Damage Rewind Silver Shampoo
Is silver shampoo bad for your hair?
No, not necessarily. However, if you have dry hair or a dry scalp, it is better to choose a silver shampoo with extra nourishing ingredients. You might also consider a silver shampoo without sulfates. Sulfates remove sebum from your hair and scalp. If you have problems with a dry scalp and still want to use silver shampoo at all costs, we recommend that you use a mask to be used after washing. Then finish with a conditionerBy washing your hair with a shampoo, silver shampoo in this case, you open the cuticles. If you then use a hair mask, the nourishing ingredients can penetrate the hair fiber. The conditioner then ensures that the cuticles close again with the nourishing components of the hair mask. This way, the mask stays in your hair longer. This keeps your hair well nourished, and you have a beautiful cool tone!
Can I use silver shampoo on natural hair?
Absolutely, silver shampoos, silver conditioners, and silver masks can be used on both natural hair and chemically treated hair. Silver shampoo was originally made for natural, gray hair. Later, of course, came the trend to dye your hair in a cool tone. The popularity of silver shampoo started in the early 90s when dyeing hair in a cool blonde tone was not yet 'fashionable'.
Can I use silver shampoo on dyed hair?
You can definitely use silver shampoo on dyed hair. Silver shampoo is currently mainly used by people who have beautifully cool dyed hair and want to maintain this cool or ashy tone.
Is silver shampoo suitable for dark hair?
Regular silver shampoo doesn't do much for dark hair because of the following: If you have dark hair, it often contains more red and copper tones. Silver shampoo is really developed to counteract the yellow tone, hence the violet pigments. However, there are silver shampoos on the market specially made for people with brown hair, which we have highlighted below:
These shampoos ensure that the red and copper tones in your dark locks are neutralized. The Fanola No Orange and the Fudge Cool Brunette therefore contain blue pigments instead of purple pigments, which has to do with the color wheel.
As you can see, purple is opposite yellow and blue is opposite orange. Colors on the color wheel that are opposite each other neutralize each other.
Is there Silver Shampoo for black and red hair?
If you have dark hair, you are not so familiar with a yellow glow, but a red and copper glow. Silver shampoos with violet pigments then do not work as they should; violet neutralizes yellow and not orange/red/copper. The Fanola No Orange contains blue pigments, which oppose orange tones on the color wheel. That is why Fanola No Orange is the best choice when it comes to silver shampoo. Fudge also has haircare for dark hair and that is the Fudge Cool Brunette.
Can you use Purple Shampoo on dry hair?
There is no added benefit to using silver shampoo on dry hair. Silver shampoo is made to be used on wet hair. Of course, it is also a shampoo that cleans your hair. You would then have to work with a silver dry shampoo. This does not exist yet. Our team therefore recommends not applying silver hair products on dry hair, but on wet hair for the best result.
What is the best silver shampoo?
There is no such thing as the best silver shampoo. It depends on your wishes and every hair type is different. If you want a silver shampoo that really gives your locks a cool tint and therefore contains the most violet pigments, then you are always well served with the Fanola No Yellow.
