3 Ways to Get Silver Hair at Home – Even If Your Hair Is Currently Super Dark
Silver hair is on trend and looks sensational. FASHION and L’Oréal Paris showcase the latest at-home temporary and permanent silvery looks.
Sophisticated & Timeless
“Superior Preference always gives you the sophisticated and elegant hair colour you’re looking for,” says Brennen Demelo. “You will achieve a rich, long-lasting colour full of luminosity and shine for up to eight weeks.”
Product: L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference in “Stockholm 8S”
Commitment Level: Permanent
The Result: Luminous, fade-defying colour
Who it’s for: This is for someone who wants a sophisticated and timeless look. It is recommended for light blonds or for dark bases that have been pre-lightened using the Féria Absolute Platinum Lightening System.
“I’ve been modelling for a while, but I’ve never had silver hair,” says Brianna. “I really like my new colour. It’s trendy and elegant at the same time.”

Get the look:
- Pour the Colour Gel into the Colour Optimizing Crème and mix.
- Apply the mixture to dry, unwashed hair, working from the part down to the ends. Be sure to fully saturate the hair.
- Leave it on for 25 minutes, rinse and then apply the colour-lock conditioner. Colour will last up to eight weeks.
Pro tip: “Use the Care Suprême conditioner, included in the hair colour box, after every shampoo to protect your colour and lock in shine for silky hair.”
No Commitment Colour
“I love working with Colorista; it’s a fun way to experiment with colour without the commitment,” says Demelo. “Follow the latest trend and change it up as often as you want.”
Products: L’Oréal Paris Colorista Spray in “Silver01” and Colorista Hair Makeup in “Grey700”
Commitment Level: Temporary one-day colour
The Result: Fun with no commitment
Who it’s for: This is for a playful colourer. Colorista Spray Grey is for blonds and brunettes, and Colorista Hair Makeup Silver is recommended for blonds.
“Not every woman wants to permanently dye her hair,” says Madelaine, who went temporarily silver with L’Oréal Paris Colorista Spray in “Silver01.” “This gives you a pop of colour, even if it’s just for a night out.”

Get the look:
- For all-over colour, apply Colorista Spray in “Silver01” directly to dry hair.
- For a more precise application on blond hair, use your fingertips to apply Colorista Hair Makeup in “Grey700” to strands or ends.
- To finish, brush out your hair and let the product dry down.
- When you’re ready to try something new, or return to your normal shade, wash the colour out with shampoo.
Pro tip: “Add a touch of silver to your look with Colorista Spray in ‘Silver01,’ like we did with Madelaine’s hair. It can be used on a dark or light base, for a broader application. If you are looking to add precise colour to the tips of your hair, try the new Colorista Hair Makeup in ‘Grey700’ [recommended for blond hair].”
Runway Ready
“Inspired by runway looks, this silver colour is for trendsetters,” explains Demelo. “The icy-silver tone will give the perfect edge to your look.”

“My hair completes my style. I will totally stand out from the crowd!” says Edith. “I’d definitely recommend this to friends who want to try something new.”
