Toning Products for Colour Maintenance

After dying my hair the last time, I noticed it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep my hair grey and prevent it from going blonde in the grey parts and brassy in the blonde parts.

It's no secret that I rarely wash my hair, I only shampoo it once a week, and when I do, I use Daddy-O shampoo by Lush, it is a purple shampoo that is made to tone brassy platinum or grey hair. Like a lot of purple shampoos, it is quite drying, so I follow it up with a really thick conditioner like Marc Anthony Be Ageless or Got2B Hottie conditioner.

During the week if my hair does get dirty (I've been working all week, so stuff happens), I was it with Lush Veganese conditioner, and then condition it with John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Restoring Conditioner (holy crap, that's a long name), you don't need to use conditioner after using Veganese, but I do anyway.

One thing I noticed about the John Frieda conditioner, was that the product is the exact same colour as Manic Panic Virgin Snow temporary toner.

When I get out of the shower, I use the Fanciful Temporary Hair Colour in Silver Lining, this adds some amazing grey highlights into your hair, provided it is light enough, your hair has to already be extremely light for it to make your hair grey, so it's not a miracle product.

I also use the (get ready for this, take a deep breath) John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Restoring Mousse to thicken my hair and also to tone out a little more blonde.

Overall, I use a lot of products, but most of them only replace non-toning products, with the exception of the temporary hair colour, that, plus the fact that I am a huge drama queen, means that this isn't too much for me to deal with.
