What is a Silver shampoo?

Why is Silver shampoo called as a purple shampoo?

Silver shampoo is actually purple in color which helps in neutralizing the brassiness or yellow tones of the grey hair thereby giving a cool silverish reflection.

How does the Silver shampoo work?

If you look into the color theory, violet and purple is exactly opposite to amber and yellow hues. When the silver shampoo is applied to the brassy hair, purple pigments in the silver shampoo are absorbed into the hair follicles making them look silverish.

How to use the silver shampoo?

1. Wet your hair completely with warm water. You might ask why warm water? It is because warm water opens up the hair shafts making them ready to absorb the purple shampoo. Warm water is also known for soothing and healing your hair.
2. Now apply the small amount of silver or purple shampoo onto the hair especially on the parts where the hair is too brassy or yellowish. You can also use it to apply on the blonde highlights, just remember silver shampoo has no effect on the dark hair. So avoid putting it on them. Let it remain for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off. It is always advisable to repeat the process for better results.
3. Silver Shampoo works great with the silver conditioner. A conditioner will hydrate and moisturize the hair as well as lock in the color. The proper way of conditioning is by applying conditioner on the ends of the hair and very less on the roots. You have to keep the conditioner for 3-5 minutes and then rinse it off.
4. Finally you should rinse your hair with slight cold water to seal the hair shafts. This will ensure that the purpleness stays in your hair.

Precautions to be taken while using the Silver Shampoo

1. Because of the dark purple color of the shampoo, it can very quickly dye your hands. Hence it is recommended (though not compulsory) to use hand gloves.
2. For great results, use it once or twice a week. Don’t overuse it, as it may turn your hair a little purplish.
3. The silver shampoo is only for grey or blonde hairs, applying it on hair with darker tones won’t have any impact on them. So it is a sheer wastage of this precious shampoo if you are applying on black or brown hair.
