Best shampoo/conditioner for getting yellow out of silver hair? [View all]

I've tried Jhirmack. Meh. It's fine on the gray hairs, but not doing much for the brassiness on the older, colored part of my hair.

Anything better out there? (Also, really need a purple conditioner because my hair is so DRY!)

Is this the leave-in stuff? GreenPartyVoter Apr 2012 #30
