As stylists, we know that maintaining the health and vibrant appearance of our clients' hair goes beyond cutting and hairstyles; choosing the right products is crucial to enhance and preserve color. One of the most essential products in the maintenance routine for colored, gray or gray hair is shampoo with blue pigments, commonly known as “silver shampoo” or neutralizing shampoo. This product has become a key ally, both for coloring in salons and for maintaining color at home.

Why use a shampoo with blue pigments?
The goal of neutralizing shampoo is not only to clean the hair, but also to correct and neutralize unwanted warm tones, which are a common challenge for stylists. Both hair colored in blonde or platinum tones, as well as gray or gray hair, often tend to develop yellow or orange hues due to natural oxidation, sun exposure, the use of heat tools and other environmental factors. This phenomenon can affect the quality of the color, causing the hair to lose luminosity and freshness. Shampoo with blue pigments acts directly on these unwanted hues, thanks to the color theory. As they are opposite colors on the color wheel, the color blue neutralizes warm tones so it brings back the original cool hue to the hair. This color neutralization not only improves the aesthetics of the color, but also extends the duration of coloring services.

Application on gray and gray hair
Clients who choose to show off their natural hair, whether gray or gray hair, also need a specialized approach. Gray hair is prone to turning yellow and losing shine over time. Lanosterín Silver Shampoo with blue pigments, is ideal for maintaining the silver tone bright, platinum and full of life, preventing gray hair from looking dull or discolored. This product is key to enhancing the natural beauty of the hair without needing to resort to haircolor, an increasing trend among those who prefer an authentic look.

Maintaining blonde and platinum color
Hair that has been colored in blonde or platinum tones is particularly susceptible to developing brassy or yellowish hues over time. These unwanted warm tones are the result of several factors, such as pigment oxidation, continued use of heat tools, and exposure to chlorine or pollution. As stylists, we must educate our clients on the importance of incorporating a blue-pigment toning shampoo into their haircare routine, so they keep their color looking fresh between salon appointments.

How to choose the right toning shampoo
When selecting a blue pigment neutralizing shampoo for our clients, it is important to consider the formulation of the product. A good shampoo should be powerful enough to neutralize warm tones, but should also be gentle so as not to dry out the hair, especially on colored or chemically processed hair. Hydration is key, so it is important that they are formulated with ingredients that strengthen and nourish the hair fibers. In addition, we should advise our clients on the frequency of use. Excessive use of neutralizing shampoo can lead to hair taking on a blue or purple tone if not used correctly. Generally, it is recommended to use it once or twice a week, depending on the condition and needs of the hair.
