  Getting the Best From Your Platinum Hair Color

  Achieving and maintaining a complete platinum hair dye look on dark hair can be a bit of a struggle if you don't follow the right steps; it’s certainly an exceptional look for those of you willing to work for it! If you are ready to rock platinum silver hair, we have compiled a few handy tips for making the color work for you.

  1. Preparation – when dying your hair an intensely light color such as platinum or blonde, which involves bleaching, it is important to protect the impact the color will have on your hair through thorough conditioning and strengthening. The bleach may weaken the hair, so it is important to use keratin and protein-based products as part of your preparation. You have even want to have a haircut to trim any split ends before bleaching your hair.
     
     
  2. Bleaching – lightening your hair creates a blank canvas on which the colored dye can be more easily applied than to dark. It is desirable to lighten hair to a level 9-10 to ensure your natural hair color does not impact the results of the shade if you are looking for a more silvery or grey end result. Make sure to do your research before coloring and test the bleach product on your skin before a full head application.
     
     
  3. Toning – using a hair toner is a great way of removing any residual brassiness from your hair color. Using toner products ensures your chosen color ends up the way you want them, without any stubborn underlying tones – we want your new platinum hair tone to look its best!

  After this process, it is completely up to you how you put on your hair dye. Before you begin applying your dye, it is essential to test possible shades for at least 48 hours. This ensures that you are happy with the color before you cover your head in semi-permanent platinum hair dye and gives you the time to change to a different shade.

  How To Get Gray Hair At Home

  Whether you’re new to the dyeing process or are a hair dye veteran, there’s never been a better time than now to embrace your new semi-permanent silver hair dye! Regardless of your natural hair color, dyeing your hair has never been easier. As is common when dyeing darker shades of hair, it’s often suggested that a pre-lightening solution is used to ensure that your new shade stays as vibrant as possible, especially if you are using gray hair dye for black hair! This bleaching process may need to be repeated a number of times depending on the hue of your natural hair, purely to ensure that the ‘blank canvas stage’ is suitable enough to soak up all those wicked and vivid new gray tones!

  We recommend that you aim to get your luscious locks to a lightness shade of 9-10. Similar to tones such as white, it’s highly recommended that you bleach your hair to as light a shade as possible. This will ensure that you’re not disappointed with the outcome and that your newly dyed style can stay rocking its vibrancy for longer! You could also add some silver hair toner to ensure you don’t get any unwanted tones peeking through your new color.

  From shampoo types to hair maintenance, here at Dye My Hair we know how important the small things are when it comes to maintaining your newly dyed locks! We’ve compiled some top tips to help you ensure your newly dyed Silver Gray locks stay shimmering for longer.

  1. Always make sure you perform a patch test of your hair dye. Typically performed at least 48 hours before going for full coverage, this process will help you figure out how the outcome will look and whether the dye is suitable for your existing shade. Remember all gray hair dye brands will be different.
  2. Make sure you understand all the instructions provided before you take the plunge! By reading the supplied instructions you’ll be able to answer all those pressing Q and A’s before you dive into the dyeing!
  3. Before you reach for the dye, we highly recommend that you maintain the condition of your hair to the best possible degree. From brushing to styling, it’s important that your hair is in tip-top condition before you start the bleach/dyeing process. Similarly, if you’re thinking of totally changing your look, with a new haircut as well as tone, we highly recommend that you tackle the chop beforehand. This’ll ensure your style is all ready to go before the dyeing stage.
  4. Always have more dye than is needed! Trust us, there’s really nothing worse than getting halfway through a dye job and running out of dye! Always be prepared!
  5. Always ask for advice where possible! Double check guides, ask friends or take advice from your hairdresser or stylist. Depending on the product you use the results could be permanent, so make sure you are fully prepared for the process before getting underway.

  With a wide range of big name brands to choose from, including La Riche Directions and Crazy Color, there’s sure to be a stylish shade to match your needs from Dye My Hair! Kiss goodbye to those boring hues, it’s time to embrace the Silver sensation and treat your style to a show-stopping makeover today!

  Silver Blonde

  Silver hair; proving that gray isn’t just for your granny! Once upon a time, having a few gray strands was a sign that you were past your sell-by date. These days, though, silver blonde hair dye is being hailed as the new hair trend to be seen with; women around the country are rushing out for a fast track pass to gray hair days! So, what is it about silvery blonde hair that’s so enchanting? Keep reading while we give you the lowdown on all things silver blonde hair!

  Silver Blonde Hair Looks We Love

  Considering going for a platinum silver hair color but need a bit more inspiration? Let the shiny tones of these celebrities’ gorgeous silvery blonde hair colors do the talking for you!

  • Lady Gaga: Always quick to jump on the wagon of a new trend, Lady Gaga debuted her platinum silver hair color back at the Grammys in 2015. Her long, tousled waves screamed old school glamour and the lilac undertones complemented her fair complexion perfectly.
    
    
  • Kim Kardashian: Kim Kardashian’s no stranger to shocking the world and she did just that when she revealed her platinum silver hair color. Rather than dipping a toe in, she dived into the trend with waist long icy hair, but we think she definitely pulled it off!
    
    
  • Rihanna: Rihanna’s flirted with silver blonde hair on a few different occasions over the years. Whether she’s gone for a lilac, silver and blonde blend or a black and silver ombre, she’s always lets her ashy tones shine.
    
    
  • Cara Delevingne: Let’s be honest, The UK’s favorite fashionista is always giving us style envy and things were no different when she revealed her silver blonde hair. Whether she’s rocking a bob or letting her long locks hang loose, she really is the undisputed queen of cool!
    
    
  • All-over Platinum Silver Hair Color: For the ladies who want to go bold, you can’t get more daring than an all-over platinum silver hair color. This shiny looks suits cool skin tones and can be achieved using a silver gray hair dye.
    
    
  • Silver with a Touch of Lavender: Who would have imagined a good old fashioned blue rinse could look so modern? To achieve silver hair, you need to eliminate all the warm tones from your hair and let your cool tones shine through. Conveniently, the only shade cooler than silver itself is lavender which, we must say, is a pretty cool color in both aspects of the word. Plus, it looks great with silver hair.
    
    
  • Black and Silver Ombre: A black and silver ombre will definitely turn heads without being too drastic a change. If you’re a natural brunette and don’t think you’re ready for a full head of silver hair, this is the look for you. It’s a lot more unusual and futuristic than the usual caramel balayage but still easy enough to achieve in one sitting.
    
    
  • Silver Hair with Dark Roots: On the drastic scale, silver hair with dark roots is a step somewhere between an all over platinum silver  hair color and a black and silver ombre. While your silver hair shines with opulence, your dark roots will accentuate the color even more. We’re sure that lazy girls will love the excuse to grow their roots out, too!

  How to Dye your Hair Silver

  With an extra bit of care and attention, a silver blonde hair dye color can be easily achieved at home by following our tips for dying hair silver.
  
  Step 1: Protect!
  In the weeks leading up to using your silver gray hair dye, be sure to deeply condition your hair on a regular basis. For a gorgeous color, your hair needs to be in a great condition. On the big day, apply Vaseline to your neck and hairline to protect your skin from stains.

  Step 2: Prep!
  Separate your hair into quarters or sixths, depending on its thickness and get all the things you’ll need. We recommend wearing old clothes and using old towels when using your silver blonde hair dye. If you want to use a mixing bowl and brush, make sure you have these things to hand, too.

  Step 3: Lighten!
  Before you use your silver blonde hair dye, you’ll need to bleach your hair to a shade that’s lighter than the tone you want to achieve. We recommend using Crazy Color Bleaching Kit Volume 30 for an all-over color. If you’re only bleaching the ends of your hair or applying highlights, it’s fine to use a stronger bleach like La Riche Hair Lightening Kit Volume 40- just be sure not get this extra-strong bleach close to your scalp, though.
  Always follow the instructions on your individual bleach kit and be sure not to leave it on for longer than recommended.

  Step 4: Tone!
  Before applying the dye to your hair, you’ll need to apply a silver hair toner to remove all the unwanted yellow tones. After using it, your hair should be cool, ashy and ready for the silver gray hair dye.

  Step 5: Dye!
  Now for the fun bit- getting the color just right. After you’ve chosen the best gray hair dye for the look that you want, follow the instructions on the box and let it develop. For a uniform color, it’s best to add the color evenly to each section of your hair using a dying brush.
  
  Not ready to take the leap? If your hair’s already blonde, you might want to experiment with a silver blonde semi permanent hair dye and then go all the way after you fall in love with the enchanting color.

  Step 6: Maintenance
  Silver hair can require some upkeep so be sure to follow these aftercare tips for dying hair silver.

  • Use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to prevent the color from stripping.
  • Rinse your hair with cold water to lock the color in.
  • Use a purple silver hair toner shampoo to eliminate yellowness.
  • Keep your hair moisturized to lessen bleach damage.

  So, what do you think of silver hair? Is it just for the grannies or is it an ultra-modern look that’s totally on trend? We’re in the latter camp and love the magical shine of silver hair. There are so many looks that you can achieve with it and it always stands out from the crowd!
