Going gray is no longer a taboo subject or even a process to actively fight—in fact, some have started to embrace the idea long ahead of the natural timeline. Women are actually dyeing their hair before it turns on its own. Whether you have Father Time or the colorist at your favorite salon to thank for your gray, there's one major detail to keep in mind: Silver hair requires regular maintenance and upkeep to look its very best.

In a lot of ways, gray hair is very similar to blonde: Both shades are categorically "light" and are more prone to brassiness from the environment, pollution, and styling. This means that a hair care upgrade is a must—you will need to switch your home routine to include products that minimize those brassy yellow tones and offer protection from the sun. To help you overhaul your regimen and get your silver hair in the best possible place, we've rounded up the top products on the market to help you keep you glossy, shiny, and brass-free. We'll also tell you everything you need look for in a product, including the ingredients that are most beneficial for this particular hair color. Plus, there's a broad array of product types, from hydrating shampoos to color-enhancing masks, on this list, which means you can introduce a formula to help you maintain your gray hair at just about any point in your routine.
