Keep your blonde colour brand new with our favourite colour-fade silver shampoos. Keeping your hair looking shiny and new has never been so easy...
Colouring our hair can completely lift our complexions and boast our confidence too, but expensive trips to the salon can soon mount up as we struggle to minimise roots and maintain flawless fresh highlights, especially, if your preferred hue is blonde.
Set to be the trend shade for the next two seasons, blonde is the colour most prone to discolouration and dry lacklustre texture, but worry not, you don’t have to compromise on your hair’s health to pull of this high-maintenance hue.

All you need is the high streets best kept secret, silver shampoos. Created with clever optical brighteners, their violet formula successfully removes brassy yellow undertones to extend colour between salon visits.
The best way to get the most out of silver shampoos is to use them as a treatment, think of it as a twice-a-week treat for your tresses as opposed to a daily shampoo. This way when you do use it you’ll really notice the difference. It’s simple to apply, just pop it on like your regular shampoo and conditioner, no time-consuming 20-minute leave-on treatment time or difficult-to-master massage.
