Hello, I need some help finding a good shampoo for grey hair. I do not want to color it. I just want a nice shampoo that will have my grey hair looking good . Not yellow. Please help.
 
Hey!!! I've heard that "blueing" shampoos can help gray look like a nice silver color too. It's same thing for blondes and people with white colored hair. You're supposed to use poos with blueish tints. HTH:)
 
I have used this

I'm currently using this

I have used that also and liked it. Sally's have a sample size of this.

I wonder why they're all are purple poos?

I think it has something to do with the purplish blue tints complementing grey tones, to give it a nice silver color.
 
found an article online______________________________________

Keeping It Healthy
Hair's condition is vital to keeping silver hair looking good. Many report their gray hairs are wiry, dry, and brittle. Though gray hair does tend to be drier and coarser than hair that has retained its natural pigment, the good news is that gray hair can retain softness and manageability with the right care.
We tell our salon clients to keep their gray hair shiny and soft and their color pure with moisturizing, clarifying shampoos and conditioners, some of which are now made specifically for gray hair. Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo ($10.50), Phytargent Whitening Shampoo ($20), or Artec White Violet Color Shampoo ($15.50) are shampoo treatments that contain bluing tints to prevent that avoid-at-all-costs yellowing effect. To ensure the shampoos achieve the level of brightness you like, mix equal parts of the shampoo with a regular moisturizing shampoo at first use, and experiment until you get familiar with the product and its effect. If hair starts to get a purplish cast, switch to a clarifying and/or moisturizing formula shampoo, alternating formulas for best results.
Be sure to make appointments for deep conditioning treatments at your salon regularly, and follow up at home with a weekly deep conditioning treatment. Look for rich, moisturizing formulas made for color-treated hair. Scalp massage can also help stimulate hair follicles and increase blood flow and circulation to the scalp -- ideal conditions for healthier-looking hair in any color. Avoid overt heat styling, perming, hair accessories, or any other rough treatment on gray hair, as it is drier than most hair.
Lastly, keep your gray hair cut and styled to perfection. As gray hair reflects light, it will become a focal point in your overall appearance and will get noticed first!

Thanks scorpian, do you have any grey?

At this point I don't think I'll dye my gray. I love it and it's not hard and wiry.
