Nowadays, there is a wide choice of various types of shampoos and conditioners on the market, but the hair treatment market is also vastly expanded. Also, the use of silver shampoo has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially with the growing trend of gray and platinum blonde hair, which can be seen everywhere and cannot be escaped on social media. Have you also ever thought that it could be a good match for your hair? Well then you are in luck, because at Nourished we now have a natural silver shampoo from the brand Innersense! Find out if silver shampoo is the right shampoo for your hair!
What is silver shampoo?
First, let's start with the most famous kind of shampoo, which is the well-known silver shampoo. Silver shampoo is a shampoo that has a purple color and that can be a bit of a shock ;) But what does silver shampoo do? Silver shampoo is specifically designed for people with blonde or gray hair and it causes unwanted yellow tones in your hair to be neutralized. Silver shampoo can be used to neutralize natural, blonde dyed hair, highlights and gray hair. Then you might think, oh silver shampoo can change my hair color, but fortunately that is not the case. Silver shampoo makes the hair tone slightly cooler and brighter, which is a big bonus!
Silver shampoo vs. Blue & Purple shampoo
Besides silver shampoo, other shampoos with similar functions include purple and blue shampoo.
+ Purple shampoo: Spoiler alert: there are not many differences between silver shampoo and purple shampoo, as they have the same function. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but purple shampoo works just like silver shampoo. Only it can vary in intensity.
+ Blue shampoo: Similar to purple shampoo, blue shampoo is formulated to eliminate coppery or brassy tones out of your hair. Its blue pigments also work to counteract unwanted orange and red tones in dyed hair. This makes this type of shampoo ideal for brunettes or people with brown hair that has been bleached.
What are the benefits of using a silver shampoo?
Here are the points for you!
+ Neutralizing unwanted shades: The biggest benefit of silver shampoo is that it can neutralize unwanted yellow tones, making your haircolor look fresh and cool.
+ Increasing your shine: Silver shampoos such as the Innersense Bright Balance Hairbath contain ingredients that increase hair shine, making your hair look healthier, and who doesn't want that?
+ Extending your hair color: If you have dyed or bleached hair, silver shampoo can help you extend the time between your haircutting visits by keeping your hair color nice and fresh for longer. In other words, it acts almost like a toner for your hair.
+ Gentle cleansing: Many silver shampoos contain natural or conditioning ingredients that gently cleanse your hair without damaging it. Like the Innersense Bright Balance silicone-free silver shampoo, whose core ingredients are apple extract and antioxidants.
THE ideal routine for using a silver shampoo:
For best results, it is recommended to use silver shampoo once or twice a week. Of course, it depends on the intensity of the unwanted tones in your hair and whether you want a slightly cooler shade. Here is a possible routine:
Step 1: First, wet your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water to allow the shampoo to soak in.
Step 2: Apply a small amount of the Innersense silver shampoo to your hands and gently massage it into your hair from roots to ends. Leave it on for 2-5 minutes, depending on the intensity of the yellow tones. For a slightly more subtle correction, leave it in for a shorter time, while for a deeper correction, you can extend the soaking time.
Step 3: Rinse well with cold to lukewarm water.
Step 4: Next, use a moisturizing conditioner such as the Innersense Bright Balance Conditioner and apply 1-2 pumps in your hands and distribute it evenly through the middle of the length to the ends of the hair. Leave it on for 3-5 minutes and then rinse well.
Step 5: To complement your silver shampoo, it is important to regularly use the Nourishing Hair Hydratant Ultra+ moisturizing hair mask to keep your hair's moisture balance well maintained.
With this routine, you will not only maintain your desired hair color, but also ensure that your hair stays healthy and shiny in the fall! At Nourished, we offer a variety of natural hair care products, including products from Innersense, Sans [ceuticals] and more.
