Keep your browns, reds and vibrant colours away— it’s time for silvers to slay! We’re seeing ash blondes, silver blondes and every other kind of blonde all over our feeds, and rightfully so. Silver hair has its own glamour attached to it, don’t you think? And all thanks to the recent revival of the Targaryen’s on House of Dragon, a lot of us are going to be heading to the salon for a quick makeover!
As stunning as silver and blonde hair looks, it’s just as tough to maintain it. Did you really think Kim Kardashian’s hair looks the way it does just like that? We’re certain that even Khaleesi might be relying on her purple shampoos a bit too much. Now, the tricky part about having a silver mane is keeping the vibrancy of the colour alive. This means trying to avoid the brassy and golden tones from seeping into your hair. The key is not just purple shampoos, but a variety of hair care products.
Luckily for you, we’ve got you covered with the best picks from the block!
Milkshake, Silver Shine Range
It’s always great to come across an entire haircare range that’s created specifically for maintaining silver and blonde hair. Milkshake’s Silver Shine range includes the Silver Shine Shampoo, Silver Shine Conditioner and Silver Shine Whipped Cream. The shampoo and conditioner when used together ensure the purple pigments in your hair are alive and breathing, whereas the whipped cream ensures softness and manageability of hair.
Christophe Robin, Shade Variation Mask Baby Blonde
While purple shampoos and conditioners are great at depositing desired colour pigments into your blonde hair and maintaining the colour, tinted hair masks do a little better job. Since they’re left on for a longer time, they have the ability to ensure the pigments penetrate deeply into your hair. The Cristophe Robin Shade Variation Mask Baby Blonde deposits a soft violet pigment and cancels out all yellow pigments. Your hair also ends up feeling much more nourished and healthy after consistent usage.
Shu Emura, Yubi Blonde Anti-Brass Purple Mask
Sometimes a luxe purchase is worth the hole you burn in your pocket purchasing it, or even more! The Yubi Blonde Anti-Brass Purple Mask from Shu Emura is just that. Enriched with luxurious Japanese peony that does a fabulous job of enriching your hair while neutralising highlighted hair with brassy pigments. This purple mask also makes your silver hair maintain its vibrancy and colour.
Olaplex, Hair Perfector No 3
Now blonde hair, especially when it’s bleached or dyed is more prone to breakage. If you recently went blonde, you’re gonna notice that not only is your hair falling a little more than usual, but it’s also breaking very easily. The Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 is a classic treatment for brittle hair. It needs to be applied on damp hair and left in. This one’s a must-have if you’re a blonde gal.
