Features of silver hair color
There is an established stereotype that silver hair color in women is a “mature” shade, and for many it is associated exclusively with fading beauty. Nevertheless, the work of colorists proves the opposite, and dyeing hair silver does not lose its relevance and has been at the peak of fashion for several seasons now.
Silver hair color is a cool shade and can instantly refresh any look. It looks elegant and discreet, but at the same time unusual and very impressive. The main thing is to choose the right coloring, taking into account your color type , including eye color and skin tone. Before you dye your hair silver, you should pay attention to these points and consult with a colorist.
And, perhaps most importantly: silver hair will require special care based on pigmented products.
Like any shade of blonde, silver hair color washes off fairly quickly. In order to prevent this, you need to use a special shampoo that contains blue and purple pigments. At home, this shampoo “cools” the shade and neutralizes possible yellowness. But here you need to be careful: the fact is that such shampoo settles on porous areas of the hair, so it is desirable that the porosity be uniform along the entire length from roots to ends - then the result will be more uniform. There are also masks containing blue and violet pigments - they have an even more intense effect on the color, neutralize unwanted warm tones and preserve the silver color longer.

Photos of fashionable coloring techniques using silver color
Hair dyed in one tone often looks dull and too flat. Stylists help stylists achieve a voluminous and deep silver color in their hair using various coloring techniques, when two or more shades (both contrasting and from the same range) come into play. The most popular coloring techniques deserve special attention.
Highlighting

When highlighting in silver, only individual strands along the entire length are dyed - and their thickness can be any depending on the desired effect. For example, owners of black hair will benefit from the “salt and pepper” type of highlighting, and girls with ash-blond hair will benefit from classic highlighting. By the way, this method of partial dyeing perfectly helps to disguise natural gray hair.
Ombre

Silver ombre involves creating a gradient on the hair - the colorist uses several shades of paint that smoothly transition into one another. For example, snowy blonde at the roots turns to ash at the ends, or the color stretches from black roots to silvery platinum tips.
Balayage

The essence of this highlighting technique is that the artist lightens the ends or the entire length of the strands in the shape of the letter V, and then tints them. Silver balayage is most suitable for brunettes and “cold” blondes - ashy, smoky and silver-lilac shades look harmonious on dark hair, and light curls are perfectly shaded by a light silver, almost steel color.
