as I mentioned a couple weeks ago I'm intentionally growing out my natural hair, which thanks to my thyroid condition, genetics and a couple other factors is no longer colours - more of a silvery white.
I'm experimenting with shampoos and conditioners atm to make it really pop. So far I really like John Frieda Sheer Blonde. I've tried the Essano purple shampoo and conditioners, and the Fudge purple conditioner, but I don't love the scents of them. I've used Lush Daddy-O in the past for dark hair but it's especially good for light, apparently, so might try that. I also used their Marilyn conditioner when I had my black to gold balayage in a few years back, so that's another option, perhaps.
But first... what have you tried that really makes pale hair shine as if illuminated? Now that i'm not colouring it i want it BLINDING.

Blonde/grey haired ladies - a question

I'm following this with interest! I'm on the search for a great purple shampoo. The best I've tried so far is the Fanola range but it is strong! Like really strong. And my blonde dyed hair grabs it and I end up with purple streaks. The other brands I have tried (Loreal, Essano, Fudge) have just dried my hair out and made it crunchy and dry without helping with toning at all.
I'm considering trying Fanola again and adding some to my normal shampoo to dilute it a bit.
First world problems!

I've been to my salon this morning and I'm taking a different tack. I have bought the Fudge Clean Blonde Violet Tri-blo which is a purple toning and brightening spray you spray into wet hair and leave in and then dry as usual.
I remembered years ago I had a purple spray and found it more efficient than the shampoos, as you leave it all in and you can target it exactly onto the areas you want covered. So I'll see how this Fudge spray works. I find the top of my hair and either side of my part is the first areas to go brassy and lose their POP so I'll target those areas first. It was $28 for a 150ml spray bottle.

This is what the bottle says on the back....
Fudge Clean Blonde Violet Tri-blo:
Instantly knocks out brassy, yellow tones in 1 use for hair that's blonder than blonde! Invisi-shield technology plus professional strength violet micro-pigment defends against 235°C heat to improve cuticle health resulting in hair that's brighter, blonder and stronger. With triple action styling polymers that polish dry damaged hair delivering weightless hold and masses of shine.
Sounds amazing!

I am not sure about Brilliant Silver White, as I got it on trial. But I have seen Pro:Voke for sale at large New Worlds, and at Bargain Chemist. That was Bargain Chemist in Wellington though, so I am not sure if you have them in Auckland.
Another option for spray is Schwarzkopf Nordic Blonde anti-yellow spray. It's purple, and you can get it from supermarkets.
I avoid the ends of my lightened hair becoming purple by double-cleasning my hair. I wash it first with a normal shampoo, and while it is still lathery from that, I then add the purple shampoo. Stops your hair from drying out as mush as well.

For getting rid of brassyness in blondes or silvers I have tried the following;
fudge
L'Oréal
Steiner
bistow or bistows
Juice
All are purple based the bistows one is the cheapest you can get from uncle bills. Steiner is at the pharmacy. L'Oréal and bistow have a nice scent. You could go for a blue shampoo instead of purple

I love Brilliant Silver White - much nicer than the shampoos and doesn't leave my hair dry and frizzy. I bought it at Hair products online. The Silver rose looks lovely too, but I use it to counter my ginger hair more than deal to greys, so imagine that silver rose on my hair would bring back the ginger, or maybe it would make it a pretty pink?? The brilliant silver white lasts forever - I mix it up into a spray bottle, and use it before blow drying my hair. I have short hair, so their suggested method wouldn't work for me :)
Latest grey pic on the wall. I've ended up committing to a combo of John Frieda sheer blonde and fudge violet s&c, for now, but will keep experimenting - this shade is me for life now, so....
I did a hair mask overnight for the lengths, and a purple mask this morning, and it's popped the silver nicely!
Honestly thought it would have grown out more - I'm at 51 weeks and most of the growth happened in the first 30 or so. I guess we move into the next phase next week!
