Trying Out Lanemay Purple Shampoo & Conditioner on My Silver Hair 💜

There’s nothing more satisfying to me than treating my silver strands to a little purple shampoo pampering—and sharing the process with you! If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’ve been on this grey hair journey for over a decade now. The transition phase is far behind me, but keeping my silver hair looking bright and fresh? That’s still an ongoing adventure.

Recently, Lanemay sent me their purple shampoo and conditioner set to try out (thank you, Lanemay!), and you know I’m always down to give a new product a test drive—especially when it promises to tone brassiness.

First Impressions: Packaging, Color & Scent

Let’s start with the shampoo. The color is a translucent indigo—not your typical thick, opaque purple. It actually leans more blue than violet, which got me curious about how it would affect the tone of my hair.

The scent? Absolutely lovely. It has a floral fragrance that I actually enjoyed quite a bit. The lather is impressive—it suds up really easily, and I tend to use a generous amount just to give it a real chance to work its magic on my silver.

Surprisingly, the suds looked white instead of tinted, and when I rinsed it out, the water was very clear. That usually tells me there’s not a ton of pigment being deposited.

The Conditioner: A Different Experience

The conditioner has a soft, dusty lavender hue, and this time the scent is citrusy. Now, I found it a little odd that a matching shampoo and conditioner set would have completely different scents—and even more curious that both tubes say “unscented.” These products are definitely scented.

The conditioner spread beautifully through my hair and felt super hydrating. After rinsing, again, the water ran mostly clear.

Let’s Talk Results

Post-wash, my hair felt soft, hydrated, and had a nice bounce to it. Honestly, the conditioner was the standout here—it left my hair feeling great. But as far as toning power? I didn’t see much of a difference. The pigments in both the shampoo and conditioner just don’t seem strong enough to really tone yellow or brassy tones.

I also noticed that the packaging says “SLS-free,” but when I checked the ingredients list—there it was: Sodium Laureth Sulfate. That was disappointing and a bit misleading.

Final Thoughts

If you're looking for an intense purple shampoo that really shifts the tone of your silver hair, this one might not deliver the results you’re after. But if you’re just in the market for a lightly pigmented shampoo and conditioner that smells nice and leaves your hair feeling soft, this could be a nice treat.

As always, I appreciate getting to try new things and share my honest experience with you. Have you tried this one? Or do you have a go-to purple shampoo that actually works? Let me know—I’m always on the lookout for silver hair holy grails!
