Silver hair has been one of those hair colours that has been on my wishlist for god only knows how long. No, seriously its a hair colour that I’m always lusting over on Instagram and forever trying to achieve with various dyes and purple shampoo. So when LIVE Colour’s new “Steel Silver” (semi-permeant) hair dye landed in my hands, my excitement levels rocketed. Silver has always been a colour known for being ‘ultimately’ achieved by salon professionals, but to have a version that is easy to use at home and won’t break the bank I was instantly intrigued.
When using the dye, the instructions stated that if you want a ‘intense’ shade then use it straight from the tube, but if you’re opting for a ‘pastel version’ then dilute with the sachets given. Personally I had to dilute the colour as there wasn’t enough *disclaimer* I have extremely thick hair, despite it being short I normally have to use x2 boxes/tubes of hair dye. On someone who has ‘normal’ (thickness wise) hair I’m sure it will be enough. Despite this I was excited to see what the result would be. I left the dye on for 15-20 mins and rinsed it out with water (no shampoo), blow-dried as usual and this was the result. White blonde locks with a hint of silver. I personally love how it turned out and once the dye washed out complete (3-4 washes) I was left with ‘toned’ blonde hair-which was an added bonus. Definitely worth a try for anyone looking at ‘trialling’ silver hair.
