What is silver hair?

Silver hair is not an actual color, but rather a combination of blond, brown and red tones. Some people have naturally silver hair. Others acquire it as a result of aging or because they dye their hair silver.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to change the color of your hair if you’re unsatisfied with your current shade. However, before you choose a new hue for yourself (or someone else), make sure that the shade suits both your skin tone and personality type. Here are some tips for finding the best choice for silver hair:

Why you need to talk to a colorist about getting silver hair.

You’re on the right track if you’re looking to talk to a colorist about getting silver hair. If you’re going to change up your look, it’s important that you do it in a way that is safe for your hair, makes sense for your skin tone, and is flattering overall. You don’t want to end up with an unnatural-looking shade or one that doesn’t work well with your skin tone.

If this isn’t the first time you’ve gotten color done professionally, then talking about what goes into making sure that everything goes smoothly might seem like old hat. But it’s worth reminding everyone that even though most stylists are familiar with techniques like highlighting and lowlighting (and even balayage), they may not have worked much with pre-existing gray strands—so it’s important to make sure they’re up on all of their knowledge before booking an appointment!

Should I only go with silver hair if I have fair skin?

You don’t need to have pale skin to wear silver hair. There are plenty of people with darker complexions who rock this look, and the same can be said for those with olive complexions and even those with peachy complexions! The only thing that matters when it comes down to choosing your hair color is what looks good on YOU. If you think silver’s right for your skin tone then go for it!

How do I get my hair ready for the silver hair treatment?

Before getting your hair colored, it is important to understand what you’re getting yourself into. Color treatments can last anywhere from 6 weeks to 16 weeks, so you need to make sure you are ready for the commitment. If your hair isn’t in good condition and you have split ends, this process will not be as effective.

It’s also crucial that you do not have any allergies to anything in the dye. This includes things like peroxide and ammonia—allergic reactions are very common because of these ingredients! It’s best if you go see a dermatologist first before doing anything drastic like dying your hair silver or platinum blonde, especially if there’s even a chance of an allergic reaction happening on top of everything else that goes on with dyeing your hair (which we’ll talk about later).

Is the whole process expensive?

I get it. You want silver hair, but you can’t afford to spend thousands of dollars on a salon. Well, I have good news: You don’t have to!

I’m going to teach you how to get the look of silver hair without breaking your budget—and even if you do have some cash set aside for this kind of thing, there are still plenty of ways for us all-around non-millionaires out there to keep ourselves looking fabulous while not going broke in the process.

The bottom line is that if your hair is dark enough (think more like dark brown or black), then bleaching it will actually turn it into true silver—or almost true silver—and that means less maintenance for you. If yours isn’t dark enough yet though… well then that means we’re going through one heckuva journey together and soon enough we’ll both be at our destination!

If I want silver hair, how long will it take me to achieve a true, solid color?

The time it takes to achieve a true, solid silver hair color depends on the person and their natural hair color. If you have dark brown or black hair, for example, it could take several months or even years for your strands to become completely white. On the other hand, someone with lighter brown or blonde locks may notice results after just a few weeks of use.

To get started on your journey toward silvery tresses ASAP: pick up a silver shampoo that’s formulated specifically for your hair type and start using it at least once a week (or twice if you have fine or thinning strands).

What can I expect once I get my hair colored?

When you get your hair colored, there are a few things that you should know about. First, it’s not a permanent dye. You will need to go back to the salon every 4-6 weeks for root touch-ups and use purple shampoo and conditioner to maintain the color. Second, you should use a heat protectant spray each time you use a curling iron or flat iron your hair. This will protect your locks from damage while also helping keep them looking shiny and healthy!

What are the best products to use on my freshly-colored silver hair?

Next, it’s important to use the right products on your newly colored hair.

• Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. These will not strip the color from your strands, so they’re good for maintaining it.
• Use a purple shampoo or conditioner once every few weeks to counteract any yellow undertones that may have been left behind by other shampoos/conditioners. Purple pigments are great at neutralizing brassy or dull tones in blonde hair (and therefore silver hair).
• Use a leave-in conditioner after washing your hair because this will help seal in any moisture left behind by the shampoo/conditioner combination and keep your locks soft and shiny!
• Try using an oil treatment once per week on damp hair; this helps prevent dryness while adding some extra shine as well – perfect for those with silvery locks!

Silver hair is beautiful, but it’s not as simple as just dying your hair brown, blonde or red.

Silver hair isn’t as simple as just dying your hair brown, blonde or red. It’s a process that needs to be done carefully and requires the help of a professional colorist to get the best results.

The first thing you need to do if you want silver hair is visit an experienced stylist who can assess your base color and determine whether or not it’s possible for you to achieve this look. If they say yes, then talk through how often they’d recommend coming in for touchups (two weeks would be ideal). The second step is going ahead with the actual treatment itself—which involves bleaching the cuticle layer of your hair until it matches the natural color underneath—and then sealing everything in with a protective glaze so that those beautiful platinum tones stay intact throughout each shampooing cycle.

After this is all over, though? You still have maintenance! Bleached strands tend to fade fast; so keep coming back every two weeks until your stylist says otherwise so they can maintain those colors beautifully over time.
