I have "salt & pepper" gray -- but the base color isn't really pepper, but medium brown, which means it can look mousy if there isn't sufficient contrast between the gray and the brown. A shampoo made for gray hair is designed to clarify -- remove mineral and other deposits from the gray so it is a true silver color. Often these shampoos have a purple or blue cast to them, and in general aren't designed to be used every shampoo or you'll end up with old lady blue hair. However, this product can be used more frequently and doesn't appear to have any dyes in it at all. I immediately loved this product. The scent is a very subtle herbal/floral -- not heavy or perfume-y at all. Like most high quality shampoos, it does not produce heavy lather, because it doesn't contain harsh detergents that create that foamy lather. The product cleans the hair without stripping it dry -- which is important with gray hair, because the wiry grays can easily get a straw-like texture with harsh shampoos. I find using this, I do not need a conditioner at all -- which is a big change for me. I always conditioned, sometimes even adding a leave-in conditioner. However, with this product, it is simply wash, rinse, repeat, then done. After towel drying my hair I use a smoothing product, followed by air or blow dry. The result, even without conditioners, is a smooth "finished" texture, and bright silver grays. I have the contrast and texture I like. This product is a little pricey, however it takes very little product to clean my hair, so I'm using less than I did with my regular shampoo (Frederick Fekkai) , and achieving a superior outcome.

Rockin' God's highlights in the later part of my 5th decade. Bit of yellow in the 'money' pieces. Very satisfied with the shine and glow this shampoo imparts. Have not noticed any drying, which can happen with silver shampoos--although I do use a conditioner. Will purchase again. Read more

This is not the same as the old formula, which I miss. I liked the old formula's white color, the degree of whitening, and its scent was indescribably pleasant. The new formula has some different ingredients and the addition of purple color, and the scent is not as pleasant, but really it isn't bad. New formula still freshens up my white/gray and lessens the yellow tones, but I think the old formula was better at it. The new formula makes my hair softer and less "squeaky" and tangled than the old formula. It works well with the conditioner also. Read more

I've been looking for a non-purple shampoo for my silver highlihts, and tried this one as I've seen it recommended on more than one website. It lathers up and cleans well, and has a lightbflowery fragrance.As others have said, I wish there was a conditioner to go with it. I just used an ordinary, inexpensive "drugstore" conditioner to get the tangles out of my long hair. My hair was smooth and shiny with good volume, and the silver color did seem enhanced. I like this shampoo, and will continue to buy it and use it on an ongoing basis. Highly recommended. Updated review: I am alternating this shampoo with others I have tried (trying to be frugal and use everything up). Klorane is still my favorite, for all the reasons? This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it. If you find this review helped please hit liked. Thank you. Read more

It's a good product, but a little over priced. I have had white hair since my 30's, so over 20 years, and I have used many different products to get rid of the yellow hue white hair gets. Klorane has been around for awhile, it does remove the yellow hue which makes white hair look dirty, but it last only about a day. I have used other products that remove the yellow and brighten your hair for a good three to four days, and at half the price. Don't get me wrong klorane does work, but the value for what you get is not worth it. Would have given it a 4 stars if it kept my hair clean looking for more than one day. Yes I do wash my hair everyday, because it's oily hair, but Klorane is to expensive for everyday use; and does have a tendency to dry your hair out if used to much. I would suggest buying a hair product which has malave in it because it keeps your hair brighter longer, and is a better value. Tip: For removal of the yellow hue, you can use just a shampoo like Klorane, you don't need to apply a white hair condition, its over kill and a waste of money. Klorane and the conditioner you normally use is sufficient. Using both doesn't extend the amount of time your hair stay bright. The Klorane cleans the yellow out, so a special conditioner does not add any benefit other than the normal benefit of a conditioner! So save your money. Read more

So at the end of 2019 I decided to let my natural color grow in. I’m about half and half silver/grey/white and dark brown. I got a bunch of highlights and lowlights at the salon to camouflage my roots, and then just let it go for a year. My hair was looking pretty drab, so I tried some silver coloring conditioner. My coworker asked if I’d dyed it green!!! Ugh. So then I bought the Chlorane. OMG. I didn’t know what to expect, but I definitely didn’t expect all of my dry frizzy hair to smooth out! It looks so pretty and fluffy.. even all of the coarse strands that i had in the back of my hair feel like silk! I also love the color that it is now. The “greenish” hue is gone! The only things I don’t love are the scent and the price. The scent is not bad, it’s like a jasmine smell, I just don’t like florals. And the bottle is tiny, but I will continue to purchase as long as it keeps my hair looking like this :) Read more
