Silver-Blonde Hair – How to Get This Trendy Color for 2024

Silver-blonde hair is a hybrid hair color that blends a pale blonde with silvery hues. Similar to platinum blonde, silvery/ashy tone tends to be darker and more cool-toned, while platinum sticks to a bright true white. Silver hair creates a metallic hair color that shimmers.

Obviously, a lightened base color is a must if you want to achieve a perfect shimmering silver-blonde mane. A regular visit to your colorist for root touch-ups is also required to keep your roots from showing, and being best friends with a good purple shampoo will keep your platinum dreams alive and long-lasting. What better way to enter the world of blondes than with this icy avant-garde hair color?
