The Five Best Gray Hair Shampoos For Men
Congrats, you've just realized you're a Silver Fox!
Now what?
Let's start with your shampoo. Even if you only have a little bit of gray on the sides or a bit in the beard, you would benefit from an occasional "brightening" shampoo specifically designed to whiten grey hair and remove the yellow brassiness it can sometimes get. Don't use it every day, but often enough until you notice your gray start to sparkle.

Warning: you will start receiving compliments on how Silver Foxy you are after only a few shampooings!
5. American Crew Gray Hair Shampoo for Men
If any of you men have ever used anything made by American Crew, you know they're always a solid, no-fuss, well formulated grooming product. Their Shampoo for Gray Hair is no exception. It's a bit on the drying side as many purple shampoos are, but used occasionally it's a decent option.
4. JOICO Color Balance Purple Shampoo
This is the stylist's choice to keep gray and blonde hair from getting brassy. JOICO has been a salon staple for ages, and they are finally embracing those going gorgeously gray by coming out with a quality purple shampoo. Their formula is very moisturizing unlike many purple shampoos, but still packs powerful whitening power. This XXL pump size is perfect for the man who doesn't want to have to think about when it's time to buy more shampoo!
3. Pantene for Gray Hair
You want an everyday shampoo that's simple yet effective. Removes the yellow tones and has a nice fresh scent. Pantene has been around long enough to deliver the goods at the price you want. Gentle cleansing action that is free of paragons and silicones, although a bit drying if not used along with a conditioner.
2. United Male Bright White Shampoo
We'll admit it. We fell for the masculine packaging. (But hey, this list is about "male hair products" which really are just "hair products" being sold to men.) So we went for the race car red bottle with the military inspired logo and now we can tell you fellas, it ain't bad! It's a whitening shampoo that successfully brightens, thoroughly cleans, and is a little bit unexpected. Oh, and United Male is a company with a conscious because they don't do animal testing. (They make a great beard oil too!)
#1 Phyto Phytoargent No Yellow Shampoo
It's not a secret that we love Phyto products, their previous Phytoargent was #3 on our all-time Top 5 Gray Hair Shampoos list. This new incarnation has a great masculine medicinal scent, and the botanical formula is incredibly hydrating and nourishing for a gray hair shampoo. Use once or twice a week for a brighter white mane. But don't overuse or you'll be in blue hair territory!
