More women are turning away from dyed locks and opting instead to embrace gray locks – this look has quickly become popular among celebrities and influencers.
Subtle Silver Ombre for Dark Brown Locks
Subtle silver ombre can add acceptable brightness to dark brown locks, making this style simple to keep up. Apply toner every two weeks.
Striking Silver Lavender Bob
A silver lavender bob is striking and elegant, achieved by light bleaching your hair to eliminate yellow tones and achieve this gorgeous hue.
Achieving the Look
Silver hair has quickly become one of the hottest new beauty trends, but to achieve this look, it requires extra maintenance – and for optimal results, it should be left to professionals. Bleaching may cause damage that will need a repair later. Thus it may be best left in professional hands to ensure long-lasting color results.
Transitioning Towards Silver
If you still need to get ready to go all-out silver, try opting for balayage or highlights to lighten your natural hair color and transition towards silver gradually. Highlighting provides an easier transition and allows more time between root touch-ups.
Best Products for Dying hair Silver
Caruso suggests starting from scratch when dying your hair silver; Paul Mitchell Dual Purpose Lightener provides maximum lift while still protecting its integrity. For best results, pre-tone the hair before depositing fashion colors; this step removes any yellow tones and protects against brassiness.
Maintaining Vibrant Silver Hair
Silver requires high maintenance, so its color can fade quickly without proper care. Regular root touch-ups and color rinses designed for lightened hair will be necessary for maintaining its vibrancy.
Combatting Brassy Tones
Brassy yellow tones can annoy silver hair and can be caused by pollution, cigarette smoke, or product build-up. To remedy this situation, try using a purple-tinted shampoo once every few days to help neutralize these unwanted tones and restore shine to your locks.
Limit Heat Styling and Moisturize Regularly
Limiting heat styling and using a heat protectant as necessary is essential. Regularly moisturize with a hydrating formula since gray hair lacks pigment and can become dry and brittle without proper moisture replenishment. Consider using shampoos and conditioners formulated with keratin protein for further nourishment.
Going from Black to Silver
If you’re a black-haired beauty looking to switch to silver, a gradual transition can be the ideal way to do it. Your stylist can apply a bleaching agent over your current shade to gradually lighten it until they achieve the desired hue.
Adding Highlights for Radiance and Dimension
Add highlights to make your silver hue even more radiant, creating brightness and dimension to make it pop! Try highlighting with ash blonde or platinum hues for an up-to-date, low-maintenance look.
Streaks of Bright White for an Eye-Catching Effect
Be daring by adding streaks of bright white to your silver hue for an eye-catching effect. Just make sure to use sulfate-free shampoo to prevent fading and brassiness. This look works particularly well on girls with light skin tones and cool complexions.
Silver hair Extensions for Subtle Dimension
As the gray hair movement gains steam, many women opt to go gray without using dye. Silver hair extensions are an excellent way to add subtle dimension or build a fuller style without drastically changing your own locks.
