Cult, Swedish premium professional haircare brand Nine Yards has launched new Silver Linings Blonde Shampoo (£19.50) and True Cool Blonde Conditioner (£19.50) to neutralize yellow, brassy hues and restore cool blonde tones effectively – but with a difference.  Nine Yards has found the perfect balance between a mild cleanse, silver pigment quantity and nourishing, 100% vegan ingredients for cared for blonde locks.

Carefully created to be different to most blonde shampoos on the market which tend to dry the hair out, making hair frizzy and unmanageable.  Nine Yards discovered that they could achieve glossy, bright hair by actually using milder surfactants (the ingredients that open the cuticles) but pairing it with smaller amount of stronger pigments whilst packing the duo with aloe vera, broccoli seed oil, jasmine flower extract, green tea and shea butter.  Perfect for keeping blonde, silver and grey hair looking bright during the summer months and great for reviving post summer hair!  Available from nineyardsuk
