best shampoo to enhance silver & shine?

I haven't colored my below shoulder length hair in four years so the color is completely grown out. I still have streaks of my natural auburn, but it's mostly a mixture of mousy brown, grey and silver.

it's not as shiny as it was when I colored it.

what shampoo do you recommend to make my hair shiny again and enhance the silver & grey?

@MariotaMurielle  Acure has a sulfate free one that is very nice.  The shampoo's always emphasize for blond hair but it is also for silver gray hair.  Aveda has one and ShiKai.  I own all three.  I feel that Aveda's more drying where the other two are more conditioning.  If you want beautiful shine try Mario Badescu spray on conditioner.  It gives shine and a little body.

Hi I have salt and pepper hair , and I have been very pleased wtih the Maison 276 three piece set sold here on the Q  for grey/white /silver hair . It consists of a clarifying treatment , a shampoo and conditioner . I like it because the products are white . I have tried purple and blue shampoos but really was not satisifed with the way they left my hair and they felt drying . They are sold on the Q and on the Maison 276 website . 

Good luck

I have silver hair.  I haven't colored it in years.  I use Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Shampoo Blonde & Silver.

I second the recommendation for the Maison 276 set from the Q.  I agree about the fact it is not blue.  I don't care what they say, those blue shampoos leave a blue tint to hair eventually and they are extremely drying to hair.  I wash my hair every day and I have found it to make my hair shiny and it clarifies.

Re: best shampoo to enhance silver & shine?

The first time my hair grew back after chemo I tried those blue/purple products.  I found they were a weird color and did leave some kind of deposit.  

 

Now I just use regular products and keep up with a moisture.  

 

My mom had thick, curly hair and after she went white she used an oil for shine.  It worked.

@Still Raining   That happened to me, too. My hair is a white/silver mix and the purple shampoos, even leaving it on a few minutes, left it with a purple tinge. I use sulfate free s&c, clarify once a month and deep condition for moisture/shine.

I've  been using Jhirmack Silver Brightening Ageless shampoo.  I wash my hair every-other day, and use this shampoo every-other time...my Redken All Soft the other days,

 

Use my regular conditioner.

 

It is fairly inexpensive, and my hair looks good.  Letting it go natural since March, and I am pleased with how it is coming along.  I also use a shine spray occasionally.
