Grey Advice

I haven't used pravana silver but I think it's pretty highly pigmented. I would suggest doing a stand test with it heavily diluted and then stand testing more pigmented mixes adding a little more at a time until you get the colour you want. The ratios are so dependent on the exact shade of your hair it's best to work it out with trial and error.

I would apply it neat or maybe mixed with a smidge of conditioner to make it easier to apply. Always do a strand test as it really does vary with different hair types. are you planning on using it to cover your natural grey? I will be interested to see if it takes to naturallly white hair as I have only used it on bleached hair, but my natural colour is pretty grey these days and i am considering giving up bleaching my roots and letting it grow out.

Oh I think I was thinking about the nirvel one which is quite dark 🙁

I think (from reading other peoples reviews) that the Pravana Silver used to be a darker colour. I have only ever had one tube, so i can't compare, but it is a medium silver undiluted not a charcoal grey like the Nirvel. I used it diluted 50:50 for a pastel silver.

@Wicked Pixie I might do a fair few strand tests first! Yep was planning to do it all over I reckon, just see how it goes!

i wonder if a blue shampoo would be enough to get you that tone. hmm.

Hi there, just me again; can you use purple shampoo on dry hair to tone it? ( and haven't been brave and used the pravana yet!)

Yes, you can apply purple shampoo to dry hair just like a dye, it will have a stronger effect as it isn't diluted at all.

Excellent 🙂 @wicked pixie

I am still waiting for your feedback on the Pravana over natural grey btw! I don't have enough length of regrowth to try it myself yet

I haven't used it yet, I have a worrying feeling it'll make it too dark, I've used a crazy colours stain and I hate the colour it turns my hair. Sticking to the purple shampoo for now 😉

Just mix it with conditioner and don't leave it on for too long if you are worried it will be too dark. I mixed it 50/50 to get a lovely pastel silver, but it was over bleached hair not natural grey.

I might give it a go then, might be brave...

Go on! Do it LOL
