This has been long awaited i know but i didn't want to just post what i used to use as i'm a silver newbie again. Now i can say i've been round the block with silver shampoos and i'm a ultimate connoisseur, over the past few months i've tried varied brands. I honestly can't believe what is out there nowadays. Especially when it comes to pastel variations. So below are my top products that i love and use to maintain the colour and condition!
Number one: Matrix Silver Shampoo. This is my ride or die, i feel like it doesn't dry my hair out like others and washes out extremely evenly. Also it is a dream with extensions in a purple shampoo sink bath. I had a large bottle left over from when i was silver a few years ago - defo invest in that!
Number two : Loreal professional Smart Bond conditioner. Very similar to Olaplex just a little cheaper. Both products are amazing for repairing your bleached hair but i have to give it to Loreal for being cheaper. It comes in 3 parts and as i dye my hair at home i use all three but more so the " part 3 " conditioner.
Number three : Coconut oil mixed with castor oil. This stuff is such a natural godsend. If i'm not going anywhere i will mix the two together and keep it on all day with a clingfilm head. The best mask you'll ever make. Add some peppermint oil to stimulate hair growth ( it increases blood circulation around the scalp ) .
Number four : Uberliss. First of all their packaging is the cutest. Second of all the the colour is incredible. I used Platinum Jasmine and it's wild. If you want to go pastel defo check them out!
Number five : Overtone. Amazing smell and i feel like the product lasts so long however the colour pigment is too strong. Now usually i wouldn't moan about this but when it is marked as a pastel and you come out the shower with purple hair it is slightly frustrating. However now that you know this, you won't make the same mistake as me! I mix pastel silver with pastel purple and Tresemme conditioner ( i use this as i find the big bottles are super affordable ) and that combination comes out beautiful ... LESS IS MORE. If you want to go silver i would say to use these products as they really stick to your hair and are very conditioning. Bare in mind that if you just use the pastel silver when it fades it will go a green blonde but if you mix the pastel purple in too, when it fades you will almost get a white blonde - depending on the bleach level of your hair of course.
Number Six : I was just going to do five but i can't leave Pravana chromasilk silver out. I used this years ago and i still use it now. I trust this product so much. It is a darker silver but fades beautifully and obviously you can adjust it with conditioner.
