Silver Hair Highlights Are Up 647% on Pinterest — and It’s Easy to See Why

03/07/2019 - 10:55 AM

Back in January, Pinterest correctly predicted that grey hair would be one of the biggest trends of 2019. Now, the social media platform is back for a new season to report that silver highlights are going to be everywhere this Summer.

According to the company, searches for the term "silver hair highlights" have spiked 647 percent since last year, making it one of Summer's biggest beauty trends of the year. (Neon nails [1] followed right after, which saw a 480 percent boost in searches.) Whether you want to commit to an entire head of silver balayage [2], go the ombré route [3] and keep the silver at the ends of your hair, or just have a few strategically placed pieces, is entirely up to you.

Check out all the versatile ways you can wear silver highlights, ahead.

Balayage Silver Highlights

If you're afraid to take a bold approach to your hair colour but still want to try out this trend, ask your colorist for highlights in a silver colour closest to your base colour for a more subtle look. It's a great way to dip your toe into the trend.

Silver and Purple Highlights

Pairing a few cool-toned silver highlights with purple will give your hair colour a fun and cohesive multi-toned look. You can have your colorist blend the colours together for an ombré effect, or colour random pieces of hair the different hues.

Ombré Silver Highlights

You can wear the ombré silver hair trend regardless of your hair texture. Try the look with braids or just have the ends of your hair lightened to try out the look. Where the silver starts and your natural hair colour ends is up to you.

Silver Streaks

Want to embrace the trend fully? Make the entire length of your hair (or large sections) silver and keep your roots dark for contrast.
