Does grey hair need special shampoo?

If you have grey or silver hair, it pays to use products that have been formulated specifically for your hair colour and type.

Grey hair is at its best when it’s sleek and shiny, so try the new Redken Color extend Graydiant collection, which uses custom direct dyes to brighten hair while neutralising yellow, brassy undertones. This allows a gorgeous silvery shade to shine through. The shampoo (£10.05,

or, for a cheaper alternative, try pro: Voke Touch of silver Brightening shampoo (£3.99, boots.com). It contains active violet pigment to treat colour fading and dullness for glossier grey hair.
