Great for grey and white hair

This is my favorite brand of whitening shampoo - it is very effective and takes very little product to do its job. One thing to be aware of - it doesn't lather up like typical American shampoos, which is fine once you get used to the fact that it still cleans your hair and scalp effectively. I find that my hair texture after shampooing is soft and not dried out, and I only need to use a detangler on the lower part of my (almost shoulder-length) hair, a heavier conditioning product isn't…

Pros
  • Helps to revive natural curl patterns
Cons
  • May cause hair to become dry and brittle after prolonged use.

The best shampoo for silver hair

I just purchased this product and used it once but couldn't wait to give a review. After reading some negative reviews about the smell, l was a bit concerned to buy this shampoo but now l'm just confused. . This product smells very pleasant to me, doesn't have this overpowering fragrance loaded mass cosmetic smell, which I see only as a benefit not a negative side. As l said, l used it just once but absolutely happy with the results. It didn't leave my hair with blue or violet undertone, as all

Pros
  • Beauty & Personal Care
Cons
  • Not effective at removing buildup from styling products or pollution.

Does exactly what it says it does!

This has whitened and brightened my silver hair. So I like it. A lot. It does smell funny and doesn't create a luxurious lather, and just as everyone here has pointed out it's runny, but it definitely works better to keep the yellows out of my silvers than any other of the "purple" shampoos that I've tried. Here's how I use it: I transfer it into a travel size spray bottle. Then I put a small amount of my favorite yummy shampoo in the palm of my hand, squirt several squirts of the phyto

Pros
  • GREAT PRODUCT THAT REALLY WORKS. BEEN USING IT FOR OVER 20 YEARS. HAPPY IT' S STILL AVAILABLE.
Cons
  • Can cause scalp irritation and itching.

I love this product. I am an African American male, in my 60’s, with a thick mane of fine hair. This product works; after just one shampoo, my silver/gray hair looks amazing; brilliant, bright white and silver tones. I have tried almost every brand on the market, and this is my winner! Yes, it is a bit more pricey than alternatives; but I have always believed that you get what you pay for. A small amount is all that is needed; massage it into hair gently for a few minutes, then rinse. If you…

Pros
  • Immediate results for removing dingy yellow grey hair into dazzling white.
Cons
  • Contains sulfates, which can strip natural oils from hair.

Shining hair can be yours!

I let my hair go grey several years ago and have had problems with the environment and other shampoos making it yellow. This shampoo is the answer! I have tried many whiting shampoos and this is the only one that takes the yellow out and makes it shine. After shampooing with this product I often get stopped by people committing on how wonderful my hair looks. It is strong so I would only use it a couple times per week, and you may need a moisturizer, but it really does the trick.

Pros
  • Helps to brighten and enhance dull hair
Cons
  • May cause hair to become weak and prone to breakage.

Can't beat this one!

I've used this shampoo for years to keep my naturally white hair free from any discoloration. Interesting though, this time after reading reviews, I saw that there were 2 formulas out there on the market. One reviewer suggested that the formula that contained cornflower was better. After going to the Phyto website, I saw that this is the packaging of the cornflower formula so, although the bottle appeared a little different than I had purchased before, I ordered it. This is a thicker mixture…

Pros
  • Makes hair easier to manage
Cons
  • Can be difficult to wash out completely, leaving residue behind.

I have very brilliant white hair

I have very brilliant white hair . I noticed that occasionally I would see some yellowing. Through the process of elimination , it was my oil infused curling iron. This shampoo is excellent! I do not use it everyday but I use it at least 3-4 times a week! Well worth the price!

Pros
  • Effective at removing chlorine and saltwater from hair
Cons
  • May cause hair to become unruly and difficult to manage.

Very satisfied! for my opinion

After chemo, my hair came back grey and I had no experience with upkeep. Phyto Phytargent works very well and doesn't stain like I read some "blue" shampoos can. It leaves my hair shiny and soft. I use it a couple of times a week and it does exactly what it says it will.

Pros
  • Works well for those with oily scalp and dry ends
Cons
  • Not easily accessible in certain geographic locations.

Messy stuff in my review

Be careful: there isn't a spout in the cap, and the product pours out very, VERY quickly. It's not like a gel or thick shampoo, it's a thin liquid.I generally like the shampoo. Haven't noticed the radical brightening that some others mention, but my hair is more grey than white. Maybe it's better on purely white hair?

Pros
  • Hair Care
Cons
  • Does not provide enough moisture or hydration for extremely dry hair.

Silvery highlights, no more mousey grays!

I have salt and pepper hair with some silver and too much mousey/yellow/dull white. This shampoo makes the silver SHINE, and the mousey white turn into a brilliant white. Just what I needed: a brightening-up! I use a dime-size app 3-5x week as my only shampoo and after 6 weeks find it a bit drying so I'm going to start using a conditioner after doing a deep cholesterol conditioning. Cleans your scalp well, lathers nicely. I will not travel without this product! Pricey but (a) you get what you…

Pros
  • Gives hair a healthy, natural glow
Cons
  • Does not provide enough conditioning for damaged hair.

Doesn't work for me

Doesn't work for me. My normal hair is mousy brown and I am now about 70% gray. Lately I've noticed the gray (which has been white in the past) moving more toward gold. I thought this shampoo might bring it back to white - which is much more attractive - but I think it's actually made it more gold. So I'll try another brand. Nice grapefruit smell.

Pros
  • Helps to reduce frizz and flyaways
Cons
  • Takes longer to rinse out compared to other shampoos.

Great for gray hair

I have mostly gray hair and have been using this shampoo for 3 years now. It is expensive and kind of watery but I love what it does for my hair. Regular use keeps my hair shiny and silvery. Caution: if you wash your hair with this shampoo every day it may make your hair look kind of purple under florescent lights. I get the best results when I use the Phyto about 3 times a week.

Pros
  • Formulated with natural ingredients for gentle cleansing
Cons
  • Can leave a residue on hair, making it appear dull and lifeless.

Happy Results on my review.

The gray framing my face was starting to yellow and this product has made it a silvery gray. Like others comments it is very runny, so be careful to pour out slowly. Very happy with the results although it does have a strong smell so I usually follow with Pantene Silver Expressions conditioner to cover the odor.

Pros
  • Easy-to-use flip-top cap
Cons
  • Does not provide enough moisture for dry, brittle hair.

Love this brand! - my new review

Its better then other brands of brightening shampoo that I have used as it does not excessively dry my hair. As for brightness it works well and seems to be the same as others. BUT you cannot beat how great your hair feels!

Pros
  • Best shampoo for silver hair.. never turns my hair purple or changes the brown I still have
Cons
  • Has a strong, overpowering scent that some people may find unpleasant.

Phytargent is the BEST Whitening shampoo on the market

When I discovered that my local shop was no longer carrying this shampoo, I didn't despair. I love shopping on Revain and with my Prime membership I get my item within 2 days. This is the shampoo I cannot be without, my graying hair needs the shiny, whitening boost the organic extracts give it. Absolutely the BEST!

Pros
  • Restores natural shine and radiance
Cons
  • Doesn't leave hair feeling silky or smooth.

Excellent product for vibrant looking white-ish hair.

My hairstylist introduced me to this more than a year ago. I bought it from the salon, at their mark-up, and was pleased with the product. It was a pleasant surprise to find it available online, and at a somewhat more competitive price. This is my third online order of this excellent product. I am thrilled that my hair is now white enough to go "natural" - with a little help from Phyto. It keeps naturally white/whitish hair looking shiny, vibrant and well cared for - and definitely not boring…

Pros
  • Provides a deep clean without over-drying hair
Cons
  • May cause hair to become flat and lifeless over time.

great for color but could be more moisturizing

smells great but it is kind of thin. Could be much richer and more oil/moisturizing. It makes my hair frizzy but a pretty color.

Pros
  • Product is excellent, The cap needs to be made stronger. Flip lid breaks off very easily.
Cons
  • Here's a photo of the ingredient list which appears on the bottom of the box.

No more hair colouring!

After reviews from web, decided to try this product. It works very well, giving my hair highlights and shine as my hair is all white. Gives hair a renewed appearance. Husband noticed changed immediately and likes. Works very well for me and will continue to use. I do recommended.

Pros
  • Product is cruelty-free
Cons
  • May cause hair to tangle more easily.

I decided a while back to stop dying my hair and began looking for something to brighten the gray. This shampoo does that beautifully. The gray is noticeably silver and bright. It doesn't give a good lather but that's not really an issue. I switch out to a different shampoo every few washings, mostly because it's expensive, and that doesn't seem to lessen the shine. Will definitely buy this again.

Pros
  • Approved by dermatologists
Cons
  • Can be easily affected by humidity, making hair frizzy.

I love it! - my new review

Since I’ve allowed my hair to completely grow in grey I’ve been looking for a way to bring life back to my hair and this product does it! I love it! I just try to use it as sparingly as possible because of the expense.

Pros
  • Leaves hair feeling silky and smooth
Cons
  • Can irritate eyes if the shampoo comes in contact with them.
