SILVER HAIR: The Process ft. Sugar Skull Studios

By 15:30 , , ,


So I have been trying to bleed out my hair for ages in order to go silver/grey. As you know, purple is my favourite colour and I love love love it. However, the upkeep was tedious and the colour always faded into blue and green tones. So I decided to go silver for a fresh new look!

Now, before going from purple to silver you need to bleed out the colour. For this you will need anti dandruff shampoo (any brand) vitamin C powder (or crush up some Vit C tablets) and something to put moisture back into your hair (this process will really dry your hair out from washing it). I also got a shampoo for red head to counter act the green to help shift it as well, but I only used a tablespoon.
 The shampoo should look a little something like this; grey/green nasty and lumpy. Trust me, wet your hair, whack it on, wrap in cling-film and wait for 1-2 hours, wetting it and lathering every few minutes before washing it out. 
You’ll need the colour to be a really light mint green for it to go anywhere near a silver colour. After a few washes mine turned out a purple/green combo and the purple just would not shift!! 
In the end I used Colour B4 (the strongest one) on just the purple to give it an extra kick. Left it on for an hour and this was the minty result:
Note: your hair will STINK FOR DAYS if you use Colour B4. I washed it 3 times and still stank but if you’re changing to silver, the process will get rid of that.

So I booked my appointment went on a Thursday (half colour on Thursdays) at my favourite salon Sugar Skull Studios; they are in Maidstone and are honestly amazing.

They do 50% off new clients fyi!!

The staff are wonderful and so easy to talk to, which is good if you’re there for a long time (I was there 7 hours and they let me get McDonalds!). They didn't just whack on bleach and see what happens, they gently lifted it each time, washed it, deep conditioned, toned, toned again, dried and cut my hair!! It was a long process but honestly worth it. My hair feels so strong and the colour is exactly how I wanted it, couldn't ask for more. The girl who did my hair, Zoe, was so determined to get what I wanted since purple hair is such a nuisance to get out. She was very attentive, friendly and funny; it was like having my hair done by a best friend, which is exactly the experience I want when I'm having so much done.
So this is the end result. I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for a new image and an excellent service every time. Their website is here.
