Langhaarmädchen silver shampoo wins drugstore product test
A comparison of silver shampoos designed to neutralize yellow tones in blonde and gray hair has identified a top-performing budget option. According to a test conducted by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) Kaufkompass, which evaluated 28 different products based on pigment strength, ingredients, and conditioning effects, the 'Silver Blond' shampoo from the dm-brand Langhaarmädchen emerged as the winner.
The test highlighted that while many products failed to meet expectations due to weak pigmentation or the inclusion of undesirable ingredients like silicones and microplastics, the winning drugstore product provided effective neutralization and care. High-quality silver shampoos are expected to use violet or blue pigments to balance warm undertones while incorporating moisturizers like glycerin or panthenol to prevent hair from drying out.
In a separate context regarding hair maintenance for gray hair, Graham Hill offers a specialized product line. This includes the LOOP Grey Colour Shampoo, which uses sea grass and aloe vera to provide a slate-gray tone, and the LOOP Grey Colour Foam, a color-strengthening foam designed to add volume and revive natural tones.
