Bleach, bleach, and more bleach!

Bleaching your hair silver is the first step to making it look like an icy winter wonderland. This process can be tricky and if done improperly, you’ll end up with a head full of yellow strands. Our advice? Don’t overdo it!

It’s important to use caution when bleaching your hair because too much bleach can cause permanent damage or discoloration. If you’re not familiar with bleaching your hair at home, we recommend doing some research before attempting it. It’s also a good idea to wear gloves during this process; bleach can irritate the skin and cause burns or other issues if left on for too long

Choose the right toner for you.

• If you want grey hair, use a purple toner.
• If you want silver hair, use a silver toner.
• If you want to go for a platinum look, use a white toner

Use a silver shampoo to maintain your shade.

Good news: there are tons of products out there to help you maintain your shade. Silver shampoos can help keep that beautiful silver color lightened up and clean. Purple shampoos have a similar effect, but also give your scalp a boost in terms of volume and shine. Conditioners are great for keeping hair healthy and preventing breakage, so I recommend using one with this color as well!

Toning is another easy way to keep a trendy look going strong—I recommend using toners on bleached hair every few weeks if you want the best results from your DIY dye job!

Keep it cool!

✓ Keep it cool. The best way to keep your silver hair from fading? Avoid hot showers and bright lights, which can both cause fading. Bleaching will also fade your hair faster than normal, so be sure not to apply too much bleach throughout the process! If you’re planning on dying your hair multiple times (say, if you’re going for platinum), be sure to wait until after washing your hair with a purple shampoo before applying another round of bleach. Purple shampoos are formulated specifically for keeping the color of dyed hair vibrant without causing damage or fading like other colors may do. Using one regularly will help keep those gorgeous silver strands around for as long as possible!

It may take a lot of work to get your hair silver initially but the right techniques will help keep your hair looking good!

• The golden rule for silver hair is to use a toner with a violet base. This will keep your hair from looking too blue or grey, and will make it look more like the shade you want.*
• Use a silver shampoo to maintain your shade. Silver shampoos are formulated to remove buildup of minerals from hard water, which can turn hair grey. A good option is Pureology Silver Shampoo.*
