Cover up grey shampoos

2 replies

Hi All,

I'm 36 and starting to get first signs of greys. This coincides with my want to stop dying my hair blonde, I am brown naturally.

I want to try using grey covering shampoos rather than keep dying my hair so I have more control and can stop easily if I want to.

Can anyone please recommend any shampoos they have used for grey cover up? Like Alpecin grey defy or Plantur 39 anti-grey? Or even the just for men one lol?

Thank you very much.

I use colour conditioners or toners/glosses.

Aveda and Josh Wood Gloss mainly.

I have very scattered greys with more round my temples and it works well, lasts several washes.

I also use a semi permanent dye in a lighter shade than my hair if I want something longer lasting. I'm light-mid brown and use a dark blonde which blends the greys without changing the colour.
