I completely forgot to ask this question, but I need to ask in order to peacefully go to sleep tonight....
I have mentioned about a desire to get siver ombre and I've also said I have Pravana Siver in my drawer waiting for the perfect time to be used (the end of May, as my hair is not light enough yet)... But I have to ask an important question... Are there any other hair dyes better than Pravana? I need something semi permanent (I don't mind permanent either, as long as it's not damaging for hair) and also something pure silver (I know about manic panic blue steel, but it has some blue tones, which I'm not very fond of).
Can anyone give me some suggestions?
Most silver direct dyes are blue based. I really like Pravana silver, but it isn't very long lasting. I also like Nirvel Grey, but it is more of a dark charcoal grey than a silver, it needs diluting and some blue adding to get a true silver.
I generally just mix my own silvers, the longest lasting 'recipe' i have found is diluted Adore blue black with a little Special Effects Deep Purple.
I recently tried the new Pravana black diluted, and it also makes a nice grey.
Approximately how long does Pravana last? Oh and I'm wondering if you might know anything about Directions Silver..
But I think I might just start with Pravana. Someone also said Adore Platinum is good, but looks a bit blue-ish to me... :/
Directions silver is nowhere near as pigmented as Pravana silver, it is more of a toner for blonde hair than a silver dye. It is nice though, if your base is light enough you can get a good result with it. You can get a very similar colour diluting Neon Blue.
Pravana silver didn't last long for me, but I have only ever used it diluted, never neat. IME silver dyes don't last very long, Ion Titanium is probably the longest lasting, followed by Joico Titanium. Both of which have strong blue tones though.
Hi! That was my search for a long time! where I live there are not many options as hair dyes go, but I found the Fancifull 41 true steel and its a lovely medium grey. it is a toner though although in very light blonde it does stay even after washing it with shampoo.
I made a video about it showing the process and all. https:// youtu.be/3Tb5i4Zk8LI so you can have a look at what it looks like.
If you can get it, i totally recommend it!
I was looking up something about that and another silver in the fanci full line a little while ago. I can't remember the reason why. I saw several mentions of it being discontinued though. It seems like the last stocks are being sold off and it won't be replaced, unfortunately.
I've never been so confused since graduation (when I couldn't figure out which university to go to) 😂😂😂 The more I think about it, the more my head hurts 😂😂
Thanks for all the advice. 😍 I'm planning to use Pravana (without diluting it with conditioner) and I'll see how it turns out. 😃😂
