I love the first all over grey....thinks its gorgeous.
Also long a combo or the grey and pink in pic 2....ahhh so many pretty colours I want them all!!!!
Just informed by college hairdresser the grey would be impossible as pink/red is one of the hardest pigmant to get out of your hair 🙁

That's not always true, but yes, it is very difficult to get out. If you can fade it enough you can get a darker grey like the top one, but it would be more purple toned than steely blue. There's ways of toning colours as well. You'd need a greeny blue I think to tone a pale pink, but it would be tricky to get a non-brown toned grey.

I know this is going to make me sound like a total noob....could you write it step by step?? I have seen colour toning correction shampoo in the past but knowing me I'll get the wrong one....

The silver in my avatar pic was achieved by toning the base colour. (Apart from the top 4 or 5 inches that was freshly bleached regrowth coloured with diluted pravana silver. it was pretty faded in that pic, that was taken just before i re-dyed it)
My base was patchy pastel greens and pinky lilacs (from the run off after bleaching roots, it had been various shades of lilac/lavender previously hence the greens)
I toned the pinky areas with diluted Alpine green, and the green areas with diluted Deep Purple to get an even silver. It looked better when it was freshly done, but I couldn't capture the colour on camera.

It's something we can talk through, but we'd need a photo of the faded colour to actually do it and advise on colours.

I take it I would have to completely grow out the pink to achieve this? 🙁

No. As I said, you can fade it so it's pale, then tone. Toning is using another colour that is opposite that colour on the colour wheel to make it a neutral colour. Grey comes under the neutral colours.
Pink is tough to fade, but it's possible. You can't always get it totally out, but enough to tone.
