Silver purple hair is a blend of the two hues that create a cool smoky pastel or metallic variant of lavender and grey. This fresh edgy hair trend is unique yet flattering on every skin tone. You should select one that will make your look Instagram and Pinterest-worthy! Whether you choose soft and subtle or bold and daring, the key to embracing this unicorn hairstyle is always keeping your locks healthy and well-moisturized.
Aligning these two shades with your skin tone is also an essential factor to consider. Cool ashy tones enhance cool skin complexions, while vibrant shades of purple best complement warm skin tones.
Purples tend to fade quickly, so you might find yourself scheduling salon appointments regularly and using color-safe products. If you’re ready for this commitment, I recommend checking out our collection of the most stunning silver purple hair inspiration this year!

#3: Subtle Silvery Amethyst Balayage
I lifted my client to a level 10 platinum blonde. I toned her to achieve silver tips, where she was a level 12. I used a semi-purple deposit to create the soft purple shadow. My client changes the fun color to whatever she feels after 4-6 weeks when it fades out. We grew out her undercut into this chic bob. I love using a texture spray for looks like this. Make sure your client has a reliable bond-building system at home.
#4: Chic Silver Purple Pixie Cut
You’ll adore this smoky texture effect from the silver tips on medium pixie cuts. Hairstyles like this shine with enchanting unconventional colors like the blend of gray and purple!
#5: Soft Silver Lavender
Lavender fades beautifully, especially on the most challenging warm-toned Asian hair, transforming it into a cool, ashy hue. The highlight of this style is its incredibly low maintenance nature, making it discreet enough for a workplace setting. If you’re in a professional environment, the ends of your long locks can easily be styled away with a few French pins and a chic high bun.
#6: Platinum and Lilac Balayage
I describe this look as icy platinum hair with a lilac balayage. The coolest thing about it is if it’s straight or curly – like in the picture – it still looks stunning. Everywhere your hair moves, you get a burst of color. It’s a fantastic look for those who are hesitant to try a color all over their hair and want just a hint of color. This way, they achieve the color they desire in only a few sections. As for the haircut, anything with texture will work, so you can see the color shining through. Add a touch of layering in your hair to reveal the color more when straight.
#7: Purple to Silver Gradient
The flawless transition on this long straight hair is absolute perfection. A striking blend like this is perfect if you desire something beyond a solid hairstyle all around.
#8: Lavender and Metal
For hairstyling, my technique can have me ready in 10 min or less. With this cut, it’s that simple… grab a wand or curling iron and choose sections to curl. Not every strand of hair is curled. This creates a more “messy look,” which is what everyone is seeking right now.
#9: Metallic Lavender with Dark Roots
This style featuring metallic lavender babylights and balayage is a very fashionable hair color. It has been a highly sought after trend! The best aspect of this color is its enchanting ability to transform in various lighting. It appears more lavender in yellow light or sunlight. Conversely, it presents as a bluish silver in cooler light conditions.
#10: Blonde with Silver and Purple Hues
For women who prefer not to dive into bold colors, this is an adorable purple hair concept to explore. The periwinkle highlights also provide a pleasing contrast to your lighter natural hair tone.
#11: Cool Opal Balayage
Get inspired with a mesmerizing mix of vibrant colors like this gray-purple hair. The babylights and those stunning beach waves all enhance the allure of this mermaid hairstyle.
#12: Pearlescent Hair with Lavender Highlights
The silver and lavender hair is a cross between vivid purple and shimmering smoke. The standout feature of this color is the rich contrast of lavender tones. I employed 3 distinct techniques to achieve an impeccable blend, including slicing angles around the head, color melting, and a color overlay at the bowl to secure it.
#13: Silvery Purple Hues
This look features “purple steel,” an enjoyable blend of silver and purple. My favorite aspect of this style is how the color transitions from the deeper purple to the softer silver. It’s also a pastel shade that appears lovely when straightened and can also shine when styled in curls.
#14: Purple Tresses with Silver Luminous Strands
This style features a captivating blend of purple, pink, and silver shades. One of its standout qualities is the remarkable shine, as many individuals typically associate such vibrant colors with harmful lightening techniques. However, this specific client has been visiting me regularly for lightening treatments accompanied by vivid color applications for over a year. You can truly admire how healthy and vibrant her hair appears because we exclusively use the finest products along with the latest technology and education.
#15: Twilight Purple Silver
This silver and purple hairstyle is trending right now. It’s a slightly angled bob featuring textured medium/short-length layers! I enjoy adding a beach wave curl to this length because it highlights all the texture and colors in the hair! I use a 1″ 1/4 curling iron to create these waves.
#16: Transition from Silver to Purple Ombre
The most enjoyable aspect of creating this look is the blending of colors. It’s incredibly satisfying to witness the colors merging effortlessly as you apply them with your brush. My favorite part was blending or diffusing the colors. It’s always fulfilling to see your vision materialize alongside your client as the colors meld together while drying.
