DEAR DR. GOTT:
The lady who wrote about her gray hair having yellow tones might try Clairol Professional “Shimmer Lights” (original) shampoo. The bottle I have is purple and so is the shampoo. I’ve had great success with highlighting my gray hair and recommend it.

DEAR READER:
I understand there are a number of shampoos available that are directed toward highlighting dull or discolored gray hair. They may be somewhat “high end” in terms of price in comparison to the vast supply of reasonable products on store shelves, but if they do the trick and provide good results, I am sure they are worth the expense. If readers have difficulty finding such products, check with a local hairdresser who might have something for sale from the shop or who can otherwise recommend a good alternative.
