What does a silver shampoo do?
A silver shampoo is specially developed to neutralize unwanted warm tones in the hair. But what exactly does a silver shampoo do? The purple pigments in the shampoo reduce yellow and copper undertones in blonde, gray, or white hair. This gives the hair a cooler, fresher look with a silver or ash-like glow.
How does silver shampoo work?
What does a silver shampoo do on a color technical level? It is all about color correction. Purple and yellow lie opposite each other on the color wheel and neutralize each other. As a result, silver shampoo helps to:
Reduce yellow tones in blonde hair.
Neutralize warm tones in gray or white hair.
Make the hair color cooler and fresher.

The Keune silver shampoo (Silver Savior) is a favorite of Global Education Director Joanne van Hoeflaken and combines color correction with care. In addition to the powerful violet pigments, the formula contains several nourishing ingredients that keep the hair healthy and shiny. “I consider it a big plus that the shampoo is vegan, silicone-free, and gluten-free.

Arginine (supports hair condition).
Viola Odorata Flower Extract (natural nourishing extracts).
Polyquaternium-7 & -10 (make the hair smooth and easier to comb).

How do you use silver shampoo?
What does silver shampoo do in your routine? It complements your regular shampoo. Use as follows:
Apply to wet hair.
Leave on for 1–2 minutes (depending on desired result).
Rinse thoroughly.
Afterwards, use a conditioner for conditioning.
The longer you leave it on, the stronger the neutralizing effect.
Is silver shampoo bad for your hair?
Many people wonder: is silver shampoo bad for your hair? The answer is no. A silver shampoo is not harmful to your hair, as long as you use it correctly. However, it is important to combine it with a nourishing conditioner, because otherwise the hair may feel a bit drier. The Keune silver shampoo contains caring ingredients that help keep the hair healthy and shiny. “That is exactly why I like that Keune Silver Savior focuses not only on color correction, but also really on hair condition and shine,” says Joanne.
