How To Make Grey Hair Shiny Silver

The transition to grey hair can be a transformative journey, and with the right care, you can ensure your grey locks are as vibrant and shiny as they are striking. Here's how to keep your grey hair looking luminous and full of life.

1. Hydrate and Nourish

Grey hair can often be dry and coarse, making hydration a priority. Incorporate a moisturising shampoo, conditioner and hair mask, like the FUL Intense Moisture Hair Mask, into your routine and consider a weekly deep-conditioning treatment. Look for hydrating ingredients such as argan oil, shea butter, or hyaluronic acid to help nourish and soften your hair.

2. Embrace Purple-Toned Products

Just as blonde hair can become brassy over time, grey hair can sometimes develop a yellowish tint. The solution lies in the opposite side of the colour wheel: purple. Using a purple-toned shampoo, conditioner or hair mask, like FUL's Purple Intense Moisture Hair Mask, once a week can help neutralise any yellow tones, maintaining your hair's bright silver hue.

3. Protect from Heat and Sun Damage

Protecting your grey hair from heat and sun damage is essential for maintaining its shine. Heat can dry out your hair, leading to dullness. Always use a heat protectant spray before using heat styling tools. As for sun protection, look for hair products with UV filters, or consider wearing a hat when in direct sunlight for extended periods.

4. Keep Up With Regular Trims

Regular trims are the secret to maintaining healthy hair. By getting rid of split ends, your hair will look fuller and shinier. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep your grey hair looking its best.

5. Consider a Gloss Treatment

Gloss treatments can be an excellent way to add an extra layer of shine to your grey hair. These treatments seal the hair cuticle, creating a smooth surface that reflects light. You can opt for a clear gloss or a tinted one to enhance the silver tones in your hair.

6. Healthy Diet, Healthy Hair

Never underestimate the power of a healthy diet in maintaining shiny, vibrant hair. Foods rich in antioxidants, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamins A and E can help keep your hair looking and feeling its best.

7. Hydrate From Within

Drink plenty of water to help maintain your hair's natural shine. Hydrated hair is healthy hair, and this internal hydration can contribute to your hair's external shine.
