  I think Lorraine Massey is coming out with a new line of products and it includes a purple conditioner.  There are some other products that people here use, but I'm not sure what they are. 
  

  
  

  @jeepcurlygurl, do you use a purple conditioner?

  @brit1 @Guide 65   I don't use shampoo and I have tried nearly all of the conditioners for grey hair but found them very drying. For years I have been adding red/gold corrector to my own conditioner. Cheap and non-drying.
  But now I have discovered Overtone Conditioner (I use their Extreme Silver conditioner and deep treatment) and it is amazing. Any yellowing in my hair is covered immediately and it's not drying. It is kind of pricey but it lasts a long long time for me. Highly recommend it. They have sample sizes to try the various shades of silver along with their other bright colors.

  Doesn’t the overtone have silicones? I have platinum hair and use a purple shampoo. I don’t find it too drying. I would suggest diy by buying a vegetable based purple dye and mixing it with your shampoo or conditioner. If you do this, you don’t want it as pigmented as the purple products as the dye is more concentrated. Aim for a pale lavender color. Go with less and add more so you don’t accidentally dye purple. Blonde brilliance makes a sulfate free purple shampoo as well but I have to dilute it with other shampoos as I find it too strong.

  The color too strong, I mean.

  @BrittanyM I don't use any shampoo at all and have found all purple conditioners very drying. Adding red/gold corrector to my own conditioner was much better, but the Overtone is even better still  It does have amodimethicone a ways down the ingredient list but it causes me no issues. I only use it once a week and it works perfectly for me so there's no reason for me to experiment with homemade concoctions at this point. I have found my HG anti-yellowing product.

  I was asking you about the overtone. The suggestion was for OP. Keep doing what you’re doing if it works for you obviously.

  i agree with  @jeepcurlygurl.  i read one of her posts about overtone, contacted her for more info, and now love the stuff!  it will last me forever, so don't let the price scare you away, i don't see me buying it any more often than once every two years, seriously.  the color/tone is great and it is very moisturizing.

  Lorraine Massey just launched a with or without hue toning conditioner. Here's a forum on it as well as others giving other options: https://curltalk.naturallycurly.com/discussion/186325/lorraine-masseys-new-potions#latest
  I have to say that I may break down and buy what appears to be the first CG toning conditioner that isn't DIY.
