Shampoo or product for coarse grey hair

Going naturally grey but the greys are quite coarse compared to the rest of my hair. Really don't want to dye it but can anyone recommend a good shampoo or product to smooth it out? Thanks

This works really well on smoothing my sticky-out hairs. It isn't at all sticky and my hair still moves naturally. I don't need to use straighteners on my bob with this cream, and it smells lovely.

Olaplex. It's the only thing that's stopped me feeling (and presumably looking) like a Brillo pad.

Is Olaplex very expensive to get done? Also, how long does it last? I've heard of it and seen pictures of the results, but never investigated further. I don't think I need it yet, but interested.

I do it myself, although when I occasionally have my hair done they do include it as part of the treatment. I think it adds about £8 on.

I use the new purple shampoo (4p), with the normal shampoo (4) and conditioner (5) then use the new serum (9) on towel dried hair and the bonding oil (7) when I style. It's made a huge difference and it's totally brought my curl pattern back and got rid of the frizz.

They're expensive - £26 each - but I tend to buy them when places like Look Fantastic have 20% off or bundle deals and I generally only use one set of shampoo and conditioner per every 9-10 months. I've had the bonding oil for about three years and it's got about 1/5 left.
