How do I avoid damage if my hair is already bleached? Today we are going to discuss how to get the perfect silver hair color with our 3 easy steps.

First, you need to bleach your hair. To maintain a bright silver hue, you need to use a bleach that will lift your roots and keep them bright for longer than usual. When choosing a lightener for this project, make sure it has peroxide high enough (around 10%) and developer strength low enough (two-minute processing time). You also want something that has low ammonia content since ammonia can cause green tones in blondes’ lighter strands — something not ideal when trying to achieve an icy silver look!

Next we recommend using a toner before coloring your roots as well as after each wash post-coloring because it helps neutralize any unwanted brassy or yellow tones while protecting against fading due to shampooing or other environmental factors like sun exposure.”

1. Bleach to the Right Level

First, you’ll need to bleach your hair. This will lift the color level of your hair so that it can be more easily dyed. To do this, you’ll need to apply a bleach cream or powder evenly all over your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes. You can choose between different types of bleaches depending on which kind of effect you want: one step (which needs less time), two steps (which gives better results) or three steps (for very stubborn colors).

If this is your first time using a bleaching product or if your natural color is very dark, we recommend choosing an ammonia-free option with low peroxide levels such as Flashlift by Schwarzkopf Professional or Colorist Secrets by Redken. These products are gentler on the scalp and will not cause damage to existing highlights in your hair!

The first step in achieving the perfect silver hair color is using the right bleach! We recommend using a gentle bleach (like Blondme Premium 9+ Extra Cool Blonde Cream) for your lightening. A creamy consistency like this one means it will spread easier without absorbing into your scalp so that you can be in and out of the chair quicker.

2. Tone at the Bowl

The second stage of your silver hair color process is toning the bowl. You can do this by placing a small amount of Wella’s T18 or T11 with 10 volume Welloxon Perfect Developer on the bowl and mixing it thoroughly. Let this sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the color to penetrate deep into your strands, as well as add more brightness and shine. This step is important because it maintains the integrity of your hair while also conditioning them with added protein back in after processing with bleach.

The second step in achieving the perfect silver hair color is toning at the bowl to create a uniform color and tone down any unwanted warm tones. Blondor Permanent Liquid Toners are a great way to achieve this. Use a cool shade like Wella’s T18 or T11 with 10 volume Welloxon Perfect Developer and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. It is important to remember that at this point in your process, you have lifted your color above its natural level and are eliminating pigment from your strands which makes them weaker! Using these two products together as a toner helps maintain the integrity of your hair by adding protein back into your strands to condition them.
