30 Silver Hair Ideas That Look Amazing at Any Age

Are you looking for silver hair ideas to try during your next salon visit? No wonder why women like it so much, as it’s edgy, mysterious, and obviously stylish. Why wouldn’t anyone want it?

Here are 40 totally amazing hairstyles that you won’t be able to say “no” to.

1. Long Silver Hair with Short Layers

Chic for the mature lady, this long hair with short layers gives a playful yet manageable style. The natural wave adds softness to the oval face, while the thick density lends itself to the airy layers. Silver hair shows elegance, but remember, it requires dedication to maintain its luster. The darker roots blend seamlessly into the silver, providing a forgiving grow-out period. Suitable for those with strong hair structure, yet consider the bleaching process can be taxing on hair integrity.

2. Long Rose Mauve Hair

A warmer reddish take on a cool gray shade that sparkles nicely thanks to highlights throughout the length.

3. Rooty Metallic Gray

This dark gray shade enriched with a bluish tint infuses the straight hair with extra dimension by letting the deeper base peep out from under the main color and placing a few lighter streaks on the surface around the perimeter.

4. Choppy Wavy Bob.

The smokey balayage spilled on this hair adds a luminous luster to it. It looks even more enticing on the disconnected choppy cut.

5. Ash Blonde Tone

This color is exquisite, and that means it requires good care and maintenance. The hair dye washes out easily, so wash your hair with colder water and avoid frequent washes.

6. Metallic Mushroom-Brown

This is a color that can never pass by without being noticed. Try this out if you have a cool or neutral skin tone. Icy shades are most enthralling on medium and short hair.

7. Ombre Hair Color

In order to find the best shade that will work with your hair, you can play around with an ombre. The cascading colors will give you an idea of what specific tone you’ll want to go with the next time you visit the salon.

8. Long Wavy Highlighted Hair

If gorgeous hair had a particular hair color, it’d be this dye job. A mix of light metallic and brunette shades like in the picture below gives a certain glitzy feel to the wavy hair. Leave your roots their natural dark shade to create a remarkable contrast.

9. Short Bob

Classy meets sassy on this stunning rounded bob. Endeavor to use purple shampoo to wash your hair. It’ll help to maintain the beauty and brightness of your locks for a long time.

10. Dark Silver Hair

Add dimension to your hair with a darker metallic shade and ask your hair colorist for full highlights. They are also easier to maintain than a solid metallic shade.

11. Dark Roots and Smokey Strands

Leaving roots darker is a genial hair hack. When your original hair color shows, you don’t need to bleach your hair again. Instead, you can embrace it fully and make it a part of a breathtaking hairstyle.

12. Ash Blonde Color Melt

This smooth hair color job starts with natural lighter shade at the roots and melts it into a darker multitone gray toward the ends. A great way to save straight hair from feeling limp while also delivering artistic gray blending and giving dimension to the thinning strands.

13. Blonde Bob with Shiny Balayage

If chosen and placed right, such a coloring is age-defying. Whether natural light gray hair or the result of a hair dye, silver balayage always looks delectable. Goes well on both long and short hair lengths.

14. Dark Ashy Highlights

DIY fans wave your hands in the air. Please note that such a hair coloring is a bit tricky and not something you should try to pull off on your own. To achieve a lovely balayage as beautiful as hers, you will really need the help of a professional colorist. But the result is mmmm…

15. Medium Metallic-Toned Hair

This long bob with shiny metallic finish is really eye-catching! Its a pity that such a hair color isn’t a color to DIY either. So, you will need a professional stylist to achieve a wonderful result like these resplendent metallic locks too.

16. Hair Color with Lowlights

To make your color more dimensional, add some natural lowlights so that your hair can catch more light and gain depth.

17. Platinum with Underlayer Lowlights

For a creative coloring that looks like a metallic hair color, go for platinum. If you’re craving for an edgier look, try a two-tone color where the under-layer is dark. It can be dark ash, dark gray, or purple, for example.

18. Long Gray Locks

Rather than dyeing long hair a solid gray, consider throwing in gray highlights into your natural hair color. Such highlights look stupendously good on black or brunette hair.

19. Short Pixie Cut

Pixie cuts have been created to show off your inner edginess. Make it stand out even more with a cool grayish color stretch.

20. Smokey Brunette with Balayage

This dreamy color scheme is a perfect choice for brunettes who wish to embrace silvery hair yet remain on the darker side. It seamlessly blends the smokey base with ash blonde highlights which get a bit brighter toward the ends and around the face.

21. Bixie with Bluish Highlights

Get this edgy creative cut to show off your bold and fierce side! The soft blondes allow you to play with just about any color.

22. Deep Purple with Ombre

The layered long hair looks magical in shades of purple and lavender. To make the volume even more impressive, add subtle silver highlights to the ends.

23. Light Soft Balayage

A trendy alternative to ombre, balayage is a freehand technique for a seamless blend. So, if you want a more natural coloring, pick balayage to attain a soft color transition.

24. Long Metallic-Brown Locks

If you prefer to keep your natural hair color, but still want a change – adding a few highlights or using a silver hair toner can be the perfect option.

25. Brunette Hair with Foilyage
