How To Get Silver Purple Hair At Home

Before you start your journey to achieve this gorgeous hair color, it’s essential to know what it entails by figuring out what style you want first. Some popular ways to wear it is by having soft purple roots that fade into silver ends. Another option involves an all-over icy purple shade with darker roots that perfectly captures the look of both hair colors.

Going for a lighter hue means you’ll need to start by using bleach, especially when working with a darker base color. Then you’ll have to follow up by mixing the two shades to get the color you want. Since this look requires specific techniques and skills, we recommend booking an appointment with your colorist. On the other hand, if you’re interested in experimenting with temporary hair color, you can quickly bring silver purple locks to life at home.

Since these shades wash out after one shampoo, there is no need to worry about harming your strands or committing to this color. To apply, start by spraying the purple shade onto your roots and fading the color into your mid-lengths. Finish up with silver on your ends, blending the two colors where they meet, and you’ll have a gorgeous silver purple hue.
