How ?an I Get Silver Hair?

For those who are wondering how to dye hair silver, there are two routes depending on your starting point. If your hair has some natural gray in it, you may wish to add lighter bleached pieces to emphasize the color. However, to get the silver color from scratch, your hair will have to be pre-lightened first to then be toned into a very cool shade.

For both scenarios, maintaining the depth and clean cool color would require some effort e.g., regular use of a toner and washing your hair with silver shampoo to upkeep the shade between your salon appointments.

#2: Long Silver Color Hair

Long, all-over silver color locks look utterly stunning, yet this hair color would require a certain level of commitment. Easier to achieve for those who are already blonde, it might not be as straightforward for natural brunettes as darker hair would first need to be bleached to a very light level.
