How to Use Silver Shampoo
Silver shampoo, known by some as purple shampoo, works to neutralize brassy and yellow tones from blonde and gray hair. Using silver shampoo 1-2 times a week helps your hair look healthier and more color-balanced. Before you start using silver shampoo, pick a product that best fits your hair type. Then, let the shampoo sit in your hair before rinsing it out and applying a conditioner!
- If you have ashy blonde hair, use a nutrient-rich shampoo with Vitamin B5 and wheat proteins.
- This product works especially well for blonde hair that has lost its shine.
- To find a pigment-rich product, look for a more versatile shampoo. For instance, a silver shampoo that works on highlights, blonde, and silver hair will likely have more pigment in the formula.
- Although it’s called silver shampoo, don’t be surprised if the product looks purple.
- You can use this shampoo in or out of the shower, depending on your beauty routine.
4. Swipe the shampoo into your hairline and work your way down.
Use your shampoo-covered hands to coat your hair completely with product. To ensure that all your hair gets covered, work with 1 inch (2.5 cm) sections of hair at a time. Start from the base of the hairline, using long and slow rubbing motions to knead the shampoo into your hair.
- Don’t worry if your hands look purple while you’re applying the shampoo. Wash your hands thoroughly once you’re finished to remove the purple tint.
- Focus on scrubbing your scalp whenever you use shampoo.
5. Let the shampoo sit in your hair for 3-5 minutes.
Wait at least 3 minutes before rinsing out the silver shampoo from your hair. If you’re in the shower, take this time to continue your beauty routine. Depending on your hair type or the specific product you’re using, you might want to leave the shampoo in your hair for a longer amount of time.
- This part of the process helps the silver shampoo to soak into your hair and combat any harsh, brassy tones.
- You can also apply silver shampoo specifically to any yellow-looking sections of hair. Apply the product while your hair is dry, and then let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it out. Then, wash and condition your hair as usual—this should cancel out a lot of those yellow tones.
6. Rinse out the shampoo with running water.
Turn on your shower or bathroom faucet to a warm setting, and wash the suds out of your hair. Use your fingers to coax out any remaining product, and try to angle your head so the running water hits your scalp directly.
- Don’t be alarmed if the water looks purple as it rinses out. The product shouldn’t tint your shower or sink.
7. Rub in some conditioner and let it sit for 1 minute.
Squeeze or pump a coin-sized amount of conditioner into the palm of one hand. After rubbing your hands together, use your fingers to swipe the conditioner into your hair. Start from the ends of the hair and work your way up, rubbing it in slowly as you go. Wait at least 3 minutes for the product to set into your hair.
- Overall, focus on the ends of your hair whenever you use conditioner. The ends of your hair are older, dryer, and more brittle than the hair closer to your scalp, so they need the most conditioner.
8. Rinse out your hair with cold water and pat it dry.
Turn your shower or faucet to the coldest setting that you can handle, and wash out the conditioner. Don’t leave the cold water on for too long—only keep it on for 30 seconds or so until all of the product is gone. Once you’ve finished rinsing, use a towel to pat your hair dry until it’s no longer dripping wet.
