The problem
Why purple shampoo dries out grey hair
Most purple shampoos are full of harsh sulfates that strip your hair dry instead of nourishing it.
And since grey hair needs moisture to stay soft, most women just give up on toning their greys and accept the brassiness.
★★★★★I was really impressed with the Silky Bars, especially as I have struggled to find a good purple shampoo & conditioner. My hair felt softer and was easier to dry and straighten and I think less dry as well.

Harsh sulfates wash the moisture out. A gentle cleanser and oils keep it in.
No. The toning is gentle, so it takes the yellow out without leaving a purple tint.
Will it dry out my hair?
No. It uses a sulfate-free cleanser, and olive and blueberry oil condition your greys as you wash.
How does the guarantee work?
If your greys don't feel silky soft after a week, email us within 60 days of your order and we'll give you a full refund. No questions asked, even if there's nothing wrong with the bars.
Is it safe for coloured hair?
Yes. It's colour-safe and free from harsh sulfates that can strip dye.
Is it safe for keratin-treated hair?
Yes. The bars are sulfate-free and paraben-free, so they're safe for keratin-treated and chemically processed hair and won't strip your treatment.
How do I use the bars?
Wet the bar under running water until it feels soft in your hands. Rub it over wet hair, roots first, then down to the tips. Keep passing it under the water as you go. Use the conditioner bar the same way after you rinse.
Does the shampoo bar lather like a liquid shampoo?
Yes. It foams up just like a liquid shampoo, in about 3–6 seconds. The conditioner bar doesn't foam, but you'll feel your hair soften as you use it.
How long does a bar last?
About 3 months if you wash 3 times a week. It can last longer if your hair isn't very thick.
How should I store the bars?
Let them drain and dry out between washes. That keeps them smooth and helps them last up to 4 months.
What size are the bars?
The shampoo bar is 65g and the conditioner bar is 55g. Each one is no more than 6.2cm wide, so it fits on any shelf or in a small toiletry bag.
What's the shelf life?
Shampoo bars last 2 years and conditioner bars last 1 year.
Are the bars 100% natural?
Mostly. To clean your hair properly, the shampoo bars use sodium cocoyl isethionate, which is made from coconut oil. The rest, like the fruit oils, shea butter and vitamin C, is natural.
Is the packaging eco-friendly?
Yes. The bars come in tins with no plastic, and we ship every order in recycled paper and cardboard.
How long does shipping take?
We ship within 1–2 business days. Standard shipping takes 3–6 business days. Express usually arrives 1–2 days after your order ships.
Where are you based?
Melbourne, Australia. We're 100% Australian owned, and every order ships from Melbourne.
