Silver Purple Dip Dye
Dusty lilac over silver on the dipped section, low in saturation, more like tarnished metal than a purple.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
Two things are stacked here: the hair is toned to a cool gray first, then a soft violet goes on top, and that layering is what gives the dusty finish. It shifts noticeably with the light, closer to plain gray indoors and clearly lilac outside. The violet gives up before the silver does, so over a few weeks the ends drift toward a metallic gray rather than losing color altogether.
- Undertonecool. Gray and violet are both cool pigments, which suits pink, neutral, and olive skin and can look ashen next to strongly golden complexions.
- Starting pointThere is no silver without a near-white canvas, so dark ends need bleaching to level ten before either the gray or the lilac will read correctly.
- UpkeepToning every three to four weeks is the standing cost of any silver, the roots are irrelevant here, and the ends must stay conditioned or the tone grabs in patches.
Try it before the bleach
