Keeping grey hair bright?

So I don't have a lot of choice for shops here , having to rely on the local chemist or supermarkets for beauty products, and I stumped with finding a shampoo/conditioner for grey hair I'm not allergic to. A Touch of Silver seems to be all that's around locally and I'm terribly allergic to it

Now I don't mind shopping online, but I need some good old fashioned word of mouth recommendations

Any other ladies/ men on here who have gone grey, what do you use?

Can't really help as touch of silver is only one I know about. I wonder if you went to a Sally's outlet they supply hairdressers, and look around there as the new grey look the kids are loving so much is becoming popular and they must have something suitable for them.

Re: Keeping grey hair bright?

I'm lucky Missy, because an old friend is a hairdresser and she comes and puts hi-lights in for me.

I didn't want an all-over solid colour, I think just the hi-lights look more natural, and I have no regrowth to worry about either.

I use organic shampoos and conditioners, and my hair is still nice and soft and shiny - even if I do say so meself.

I refuse to go grey gracefully. I have mine dyed every 6 weeks at my hairdressers & she is brilliant at cutting it too. My hair is brown.

I'm actually looking forward to it at the moment it's just in places not all over, that's harder to manage I find as what I need for grey I don't need for the rest

Hi

We have a lady in Whitchurch, quite elderly, with silver hair.

She wears it in a ponytail, down to her waist and quite frankly looks stunning.

Re: Keeping grey hair bright?

My grey is quite fragile and breaks, I have a feeling my long hair won't be so possible once I am grey.
