Whether naturally going gray or simply wanting to add brightness to your strands, a shimmering silver hair color will never disappoint you. From natural salt-and-pepper shades to metallic shimmer hues, these stunning silver dyes will make your locks look radiant as if a movie starlet had visited! To avoid brassiness, seek professional toning gloss at your salon. Your stylist can then add platinum highlights for added style.
Cool Silver
Cool silver shades offer many ways of looking captivating, one being pre-lightening your hair and toning it with the gray mix, as seen on Little Mix member Jade Thirlwall. This will allow for more neutral gray tones that flatter rather than wash out your skin tone. Icy blue shades of silver look stunning when worn on medium and short hair. Their cool blue tones resemble snow-covered strands and add wintertime beauty, making this style particularly fitting with textured curled bobs. Silver’s cool tones pair perfectly with dark roots for an exquisite, chic, sophisticated, gothic effect. Silver strands can be breathtaking yet quickly fade. To avoid brassiness, use a color-enhancing shampoo and perform regular root touch-ups. Also, try not over-styling with heat tools, but opt for natural and heat-free styles.
Warm Silver
Warm silver adds an alluring sparkle to your hair. This beautiful hue is cool-toned, making it suitable for fair to medium complexions and complementing red and orange tones in your skin tone. If you’re still uncertain if or when to go gray, this might be the shade for you! Dying dark brown or black hair silver can be more challenging than dyeing lighter shades, as it requires using bleach and toner in combination with a skilled hand to blend with natural roots. Thankfully, many colorists now offer lightening services that reduce both the time and damage required to reach your desired shade; additionally, make regular salon appointments for glossing/toning appointments and invest in purple shampoo to prevent brassiness.
