Silver ombre hair is a hair color that’s darker at the roots and gradually transforms into a silver or greyish hue as it goes down the tips. This technique on silver locks can also be paired amazingly well with other fashion colors, such as pastels and blondes.
This is a trend that’s equally mystique and edgy and is incredibly versatile, matching any skin tone there is! Silver could be a challenging color to wear on its own because of its lightness, but going with the ombre style makes the journey much easier and laid-back.
Expert colorists recommend using hair-strengthening and moisturizing products to keep your strands healthy and prevent damage from dyeing your hair with an unnatural hue.
Ciara, Nafessa Williams, Kelly Osbourne, and Cardi B demonstrated with their recent fashion statements how achievable this beautiful hair color is. On top of that, color correction specialist Lidia Prass brought to life the magic created from silver ombre plus beach waves, giving everyone the chills!

#11: Silver and Purple
This silver to purple ombre was inspired by a flower on a foggy day. It’s a beautiful metallic with a bit of creative fun to it. I love the contrast between the colors but also how they blend.
This is a great haircut and color for all face shapes because of the layers that frame the face. As far as at-home care, I recommend a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to maintain the color. Try Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. Use cold water to wash your hair to avoid fading and bleeding.
#12: Silver and Pink
I love the silver and pink ombré look. The color scheme goes well together, and that little pink gives it a nice pop. It’s styled with layers and uses 1.25 in the curling iron to give her soft waves, finishing the look. To achieve any silver look is to have patience, and taking care of your hair using Olaplex is always my recommendation. To keep the pink, she also bought the Schwarzkopf BlondMe Instamatic Blonde Strawberry. To keep her silver, she uses the No Yellow Fanola purple shampoo.
#13: Black and Silver on Short Hair
This look is a textured angled bob with a high-contrast black and silver hair ombre. I love the drama of all the contrast! Short to long and dark to light! Silvers, pastels, and ash tones will always be the highest maintenance hair colors, especially when you naturally have dark hair. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that it rarely is achievable in one session! Baby steps and lots of Olaplex treatments will always pay off. Also, regular toning appointments and purple shampoo and conditioner will be your best friend. My favorite is Pravana’s Perfect Blonde shampoo and toning mask.
#14: Metallic Silver
The drip in this one is oh-so-good! Serving you caramel blonde, brunette, and silver ombre hairstyle goodness!
#15: Silver and Platinum Blonde
It’s a silver blonde ombre with dimensional and shadow root. What I like about this color is the transition from the root to the ends of the hair color. I assume her natural hair level is between (levels 5-6) lightest brown-dark blonde, and her hair goal is between ice blonde to silver blonde, light blonde, and extra light blonde (levels 10-12). The most important and difficult part is a natural transition from natural hair color to silver blonde when the client wants a light color, including silver blonde, ice blonde, or platinum.
You need time to process hair to be blonde from natural dark brown or light brown. Generally, it depends on how much red pigment the hair has. Asian hair has more red and brown pigment. It takes a long time for Asian hair, which has dark brown hair, to get this silver-blonde color. It may need two or more sessions. It takes 5 to 7 hours to go lighter and toned during the first visit. The most difficult part is doing bleach on the hair to get lighter as much as you can in one session.
#16: Ash Blonde and Silver
This look is a bright ash-blonde balayage. The cut used a razor to achieve more feathery ends rather than blunt. The style is loose brushed-out or beachy curls using a 1.5-inch curling iron.
With this look, you can achieve the bright white look of bleach without the harsh root grow out and retouch appointments every 4 weeks. It’s best suited for someone with naturally ashy hair, as the silvery blonde ombre can quite contrast with naturally warmer-toned hair. With balayage blonde hair, I always suggest having a purple shampoo ready when toners begin to fade. I recommend milkshake purple shampoo to tone out any unwanted hues. If your hair is drier, I suggest Evo hair purple conditioner.
#17: Blonde to Silver Long Hair
I loved creating this metallic silver ombre shade! I also gave her some subtle layers to enhance the movement in her thick hair. I love the soft blend into the silver and how soft, shiny, and healthy it is from her using proper home care and pH bonder in her lightener when she’s in.
There are a few things to keep in mind when going for silver. It is a process, first of all! Your hair must be white blonde before you can be silver, and that can take multiple appointments. It is also crucial to use the proper at-home care when committing to a process like this, or the integrity of the hair is sure to be compromised. Silver is also a very high-maintenance color. I usually recommend my clients to come back to get it freshly glossed every 4-6 weeks depending on the client.
#18: Brown and Silver
This brown and silver ombre is described as an icy pearl balayage. It’s an intriguing color because of the high contrast of the blonde to the darker base color. I love dimension and contrast in hair color because it keeps it from being blah or too simple.
This color is hard to achieve for most people because it is so light. Previous color history and darkness of a client’s natural color play into achieving this color. Clients with virgin hair and naturally lighter hair color can get this look fairly easily. This look is ideal if you are alright with having a more high-maintenance color. Proper salon products, minimal washing, and heat styling are necessary for maintaining this look.
