So I don’t have a lot of choice for shops here , having to rely on the local chemist or supermarkets for beauty products, and I stumped with finding a shampoo/conditioner for grey hair I’m not allergic to. A Touch of Silver seems to be all that’s around locally and I’m terribly allergic to it
Now I don’t mind shopping online, but I need some good old fashioned word of mouth recommendations
Any other ladies/ men on here who have gone grey, what do you use?
Can’t really help as touch of silver is only one I know about. I wonder if you went to a Sally’s outlet they supply hairdressers, and look around there as the new grey look the kids are loving so much is becoming popular and they must have something suitable for them.
I’m actually looking forward to it at the moment it’s just in places not all over, that’s harder to manage I find as what I need for grey I don’t need for the rest
Unfortunately it’s very porous and takes colour on from impurities in the air, when I worked in kitchens it would get a yellow tinge from the fat in the air
I don’t have a Sally’s near so that’s why I was asking if anyone had any recommendations themselves
An outlet that supplies hairdressers Mups ( Post #2 by Julie).
Never heard of it myself either.
I haven’t been to a hairdressers since 1989.
I’ve never dyed or tinted my hair and wouldn’t have a clue how to do it.
I do despair of my hair a bit now it’s going grey. I don’t mind the grey, or wont when it’s all over …
I sometimes get women coming up, touching my hair and telling me I’m very brave.
I never know quite how to take that.
It’s thick, long and bushy and when I give it a good brush it fluffs up and stands out like wire wool or I’ve just stuck my fingers in a live socket.
Sounds like you need moisture, I like to put coconut oil on my frizzy curly mop each week, sleep in it and wash out next morning, makes a huge difference.
I braid my hair and wrap it in an old t shirt. Actually that’s a point I never use a towelling towel on my hair always wrap it in old tshirts, or it goes really wiry. Towelling is death to bright curly hair.
I have to braid mine to sleep anyway or I wake up with so many knots I may as well just give up the morning to teasing them out.
This is me too Mine is not so grey that is shows much but nearly down to my waist and curly/frizzy. I use gallons of serum on it and it’s always plaited, even straight after washing.
Maybe when it’s long enough to sit on I might get it chopped…if it doesn’t fall out before then
