Plain clear vinegar rinse (1/4 v mixed with one cup water) brightens grey/white/silver hair for PENNIES. Blue shampoo does not remove yellow it just coats the hair with a blue chemical. Not using a hair dryer, curling iron, etc. also combats yellowing. It’s what I do, it works and get asked all the time what I use on my grey/white/silver hair.

Hi there! I started graying when I was 17, and finally surrendered about 12 years ago. I was met with much resistance- mainly from my family and my "coloring" friends. Most days I absolutely love my hair. I can't seem to land on the right hair products for me because I'm a curly girl as well. Hey, why not....my latest concoction is Kenra brightening shampoo and conditioner mixed in with my Redken curl cream shampoo and conditioner. It's just enough to give me a really nice shade without turning blue or looking brassy. I use a dry oil by matrix to give me a boost with extra shine once or twice during the day. I think any degree of silver can be stunning and a real statement of character. I'm so glad the culture is changing and more products are available to try. Thank you and I look forward to more of your videos! BTW, your eyebrows rock!!!

I use the Oribe, I don't shampoo every time. Sometimes I just condition. Solves the dehydration you are talking about, and it's a fantastic product. My hair is exactly like yours - but so much less frizz, (sorry) - a friend touched my hair recently and couldn't believe how soft it was, she said, "gray is usually so course. yours is so soft!" Co-washing is the answer! Good blog, thanks!

Klorane with Centaury was what I used when my hair was silver. I blonded it recently, so I use a different Klorane product. But it's a great shampoo and it worked nicely. I also like Clairol's Shimmer Lights, both for blonde and silver hair. My hairdresser said not to use purple shampoo more than once a week. I only use it when I really need to tone my hair. Otherwise, I stick with regular Klorane or some other shampoo. I have way more silver than you, but I don't know if that makes much of a difference.

I've been obsessed with your videos and they were likely the catalyst for me to ditch the dye... sadly I had to cut mine since I'm only 2 months in and last night I pulled the trigger. I just watched this video and by now you've probably figured this out but I have a bottle of Matrix So Silver and noticed it has sulfates and probably why it's drying out your hair. It's hard finding a sulfate free purple shampoo but back in the day I was a prisoner to Shimmer Lights since that was the only one on the market. I love your attitude, and your words are powerful and uplifting especially on days when I need the encouragement. ❤

I stopped coloring my hair 3 years ago and am about 3/4 grey. A short hair cut did help and I have been growing out with some trimming occasionally. My hair is curly and can get big (frizzy) and I have learned that shampooing every 2-3 days, I don't use conditioner, but instead use Grapeseed oil or Olive Oil and I don't have to use anything else to keep my hair manageable. The olive oil manages dandruff or "product flakes" better and I will go back and forth between the two. I have also made my own hair rinse/conditioner using the natural oils and essential oils and it works wonderful. The initial cost if a bit, but you can make a lot out of what you get. If you look at some of these products that you buy in the store they have so many chemicals in them that aren't good for your body and you absorb it all through your scalp. Just taking 1 of the ingredients: Laureth-4 - did you know this is Sodium Laureth Sulfate which is an ingredient found in a lot of household and commercial cleaners and is also a carcinogen (causes cancer). Do you know that Europe has banned a lot of the stuff we use in our products! Just remember that your hair and face products don't have to foam to work and you can find safer products, but it takes some digging. I've found the homemade kind is best or order international.

OK. I think I'm going to take the plunge ! I watched your "My Gray Hair Journey" as well as this one so thank you for listing the products as I think it makes a lot of sense to hydrate and take care of hair in order to avoid looking limp in many ways. My question is : did you just stop colouring your hair or did you add highlights to your hair ? I'm not sure you mentioned the process so that's why I'm asking. That first 2 to 3 months when you see the 'line' - did you do anything or did you stick it out ? If you did stick it out, did you use semi-permanent dye or other things to transition ? Thanks so much !

Superb video! I have to check out the Phyto line. Unfortunately I can't use like 90% of hair products out there because of my allergy to methylisothiazolinone. I'm desperate to find something that will tame my wiry grays, but not weigh my fine hair down. Also, satin pillowcases are LIFE. I can't wait to see that video. They are not cheap, and ones I bought from one company had splitting seams after one wash. 😩 Looking forward to your review.

I do NOT mean to be rude but you haven't figured it out I don't think, because your hair is not shiny or look hydrated. I say this only because I am struggling with the same issue. Having curly hair is even more difficult as because of the lack of hydration it just breaks off wherever I sleep the most. Looking forward to your journey, and more products! I do like one called Blueberry Reparative Mask but it's not as boujie as the products you recommend. Additionally to me, your hair looks more frizzy near the temples. I don't know but what I do know is a simple bottle of detangler mixed with a bit of Giovanni direct leave in hydrates my hair even after swimming. I have learned that buying boujie products don't necessarily work and just a simple ingredient list of hair moisturizers work best with a non cotton pillowcase.

Are you kidding? Her hair is enviable. Super thick and shiny. Thick hair like that is not easy to manage and Nikol manages it well. I have learned that certain products and way better than others; some are bougie and others are not. You can't beat Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day- there is nothing like it- probably has some majorly questionable chemicals tho. That said, there are shampoo bars that work great and if you are not using styling products, a simple scalp massage and warm water rinse is enough.

In this video, it just looks like she has left her hair in its natural wavy state and wavy hair never looks sleek and therefore could appear to be dry and dull. I've had this struggle my entire life with my wavy hair. The color has never mattered, nor my age or youth: it simply can appear to be dry and frizzy. She also lives in Florida (I heard her mention on another video) and humidity like that never helps wavy to curly hair. When she has her hair straightened though...it really does look incredible and it appears to be in very good condition.

I love it. It smells fantastic, cleans well without being super drying; although, it may be a tad drying. What I like most about it is that I can wash my hair with it every time and I don't have to worry about it turning my hair blue/purple. Purple/blue shampoos turn the bronzy peppery parts of my hair a dingy sort of mud color and that doesn't happen with Klorane.

Baby shampoo dries hair out badly. The reason it's "Baby Shampoo" is because they do something with the alkalinity so it won't sting if it gets into the baby's eyes, but this also makes it tend to dry hair out.
