Effect of silver shampoo

Removing yellow tones with a silver shampoo is uncomplicated. In addition to the normal features of a shampoo, a silver shampoo has violet or blue colour pigments in it. Those colour pigments are complementary to yellow and therefore neutralize unwanted discolouration. A cool, silvery tone is the result of using a purple shampoo. This kind of toning shampoo should be left on the hair between 2-5 minutes, depending on how discoloured the hair already was and exactly which silver shampoo is being used. It is important to always read the instructions on the packaging closely for this kind of shampoo, in order to avoid an unwanted purple tinge to the hair after using it. This kind of shampoo with violet pigments does not have to be used every time blonde hair is washed, it is enough if it is used when needed to remove warmth. If the shampoo is used too often, the purple pigments can be deposited on the hair, which will give the hair a violet hue.
