my graying hair is normal to oily on the top but very, very dry and brassy looking from about halfway down to the ends. I made the unfortunate decision to have highlights done a little over a year ago and now I'm dealing with this.

I was wondering if anyone here has used Oribe products and what results you have seen, or if anyone can recommend a great product for my issue.

I've used purple shampoos, leave in conditioners, etc. but my hair still needs help.

I HAVE AND USE THE ORIBE GOLD LUST SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, AND OIL, MariotaMurielle.

I ACTUALLY LOVE THEM AS THEY MAKE MY BLACK/BROWN CHIN LENGTH BOB VERY SHINY AND SMOOTH.

I WILL SAY THAT THE PRODUCTS ARE PRICEY, SO I DO NOT USE THEM DAILY, BUT RATHER SAVE THEM FOR OCCASIONS AND SUCH.

THINK YOU WILL LOVE THEIR PRODUCTS AND THE GOLD LUST IS THEIR MOST POPULAR.

I apply shampoo to my scalp...and conditioner to the ends.   Then wash it all out at the same time.

Well, first of all, it's time for at least a trim, as the condition of the ends sound beyond help. 

 

Actually, maybe it's time for an entirely new haircut.

Is it possible that the bottom of your hair has some old color that is making it very dry?

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I was going to suggest the same thing as @Tinkrbl44 .   How about get a new cut and get rid of all the brassy hair?

To be perfectly honest I have used several high end shampoos including Oribe without much success.

@Desertdi @That's an interesting way to take care of your hair. I am going to try it.

@MariotaMurielle i use oribe products. Find that they are the best (for me). They are pricey but last a long time. Check to see if their site or Sephora has travel sizes. I have brought that size in the past. If you buy from Sephora you can always return. It also sounds like you need a haircut. If you choose to get one also get a deep conditioner. Sounds like your hair is dry.

Highlites will fade out.  A nice haircut will help remove the dry pieces and look fresh.

i would use a good conditioning shampoo and conditioner, i really light Pureology in the hydrating formula.  You can purchase small bottles, travel size to see if you like it. 
my highlites do pretty well,with this routine, but i also have it cut every 8-10 weeks.  

Let us know what you do.

I agree that you need a trim.  In addition you might try messaging some jojoba oil on the dry ends.  It is not expensive and I sometimes use it on my skin too.
