I have been going grey (no more coloring my hair) for about 1 year.  It is slowly going grey and the back has almost no gray.  I think I would like a rinse to use when I wash my hair to make it shiny, not sure shiny is the word but I am thinking it looks a bit blah.

I don't have another hair appointment for 3 weeks and didn't think to ask the stylist when I was there a week ago...any suggestions?

I use Pantene shampoo & conditioner made for grey hair.  Makes my hair soft and  takes away the blah for me.  I buy it from Amazon, just search for Shampoos for grey hair. they have some to choose from.

@chlema   Thanks, did not think to look for a shampoo for grey hair!

@Mom2Dogs My natural gray is like yours. The back is darker than my original color, but turned a blah dark charcoal. It is dull. It is definitely all pepper. The salt is in the front. I hope you find some answers. I will be watching.

I use a purple shampoo and conditioner once a week, it's from L'Oréal and will use a little of BioSilk therapy to give it some shine.  Just a small amount. 

I haven't colored my hair in two years, like yours it's still darker in the back.  I've had people ask if I highlight my hair.

My hair is lighter brown with gray strands through the brown with gray at the hairline. Everyone says it looks like I have highlighted my hair there. No it's gray. I have not put any color on my hair in over 3 years. It's just taking forever to turn gray. It's more brown than gray. 

I don't always use the same shampoo but I do use Derma-E scalp relief on my scalp. My scalp is really dry. It makes my hair look shiny, not greasy. My hair no longer looks dull is what I call it while it's turning gray. 

Have been using Aveeno Oat Milk Blend Moisturizing shampoo lately. It's seems to be helping my dry scalp.

Take a look at John Frieda's shampoos and conditioners for brunette hair.

My hair is brown in back and getting grayer in front.  I use both the Brilliant Brunette and the Midnight Brunette shampoo and conditioner.  (I get them from Amazon by subscription.)

It tones the gray just enough so it blends in with the brown hair. Not expensive and no commitment .... it washes out with your next shampoo.  

I've been alternating between the two for about 4 years now ... makes going gray easier.

Roux Fanci Full is a temporary rinse that comes in different colors. I always use the White Minx (52) 

I use it myself when I highlight my hair and it comes out a touch brassier at first. Once I wash my hair a few times the color is perfect and I stop using the rinse.

I used it on my mom all the time with her grey hair. You can buy it almost anywhere. It's been around forever.

@luvmyteddy4 I know my mother used White Minx. Thank you for reminding me. I had completely forgotten about Roux. Her hairdresser had those bottles on shelves above the shampoo bowl. There were a lot of colors.

I've been grey for 15 years and my go to for shiny hair is Cantu cream, just a touch after I shampoo. A container easily lasts at least six months.
