To get silver hair, you have to bleach your hair until your strands are almost white. The darker your natural color is, the more bleach sessions you’ll have to go through to lighten your hair enough to achieve that ethereal silver hue.

Short haircuts are best for an oblong or rectangular face. Be careful with a bushy beard, however, as that could make your face look even bigger. Luckily, most hairstyles will look good with an oval face shape.

Silver-blonde hair is just a very pale blonde that reflects a silvery/ashy tone. “Everyone looks good blonde and if you can pull off a cool blonde, it’s usually very sexy.”

As for how/why it works. A purple shampoo is a form of hair toner, which dispenses pigment to help adjust, neutralise, correct or personalise your hair colour. For the majority of cases, when it comes to blondes, this means addressing brassiness.

To achieve silver or grey hair, you want to tone your hair with a purple based toner, such as the Wella T18 Lightest Ash Blonde toner. Since your hair will be quite damaged at this point, you should use it with a 10 volume developer instead of 20 unless your hair pulls really warm.

The violet pigments in the shampoo work to neutralize the yellow, brassy pigments in blonde hair. BUT, do be aware that leaving purple shampoo on for upwards of 30 minutes to an hour can over-tone your locks and leave an unwanted tint to the hair color.
