Are you thinking about growing out your silver hair?

Embracing silver hair helps many women feel more confident and free. It’s also a big money and time saver, as well as a hot trend.

Many Boom women have told us how their silver-hair journey felt like much more than a hairstyle choice. For many women, going silver is an empowering acknowledgment of self-love and beauty at every age.

Whether you’re already mapping out your adventure to silver hair, you’re still on the fence or simply “silver curious,” we hope these three methods will provide some guidance and support on your journey.

1. Go Cold Turkey

Do you prefer to keep things uncomplicated? If so, this first method is for you. 

Simply stop dyeing your hair! As your silver grows in, continue getting haircuts at regular intervals until your last dyed locks are gone. 

Pros and Cons

The benefits of this straightforward method are the time and money you’ll save. Once you stop dyeing your hair, you’ll free up hours and potentially hundreds of dollars once spent at the salon. 

Who wouldn’t love that?

If your dyed hair color is very different from your incoming silver, you’ll likely see a demarcation line as your natural hair grows in. If you have lighter dyed hair, the line may appear less stark (but not always, and maybe not to you).

If so, our second method is a short adventure from dyed to silver by way of an eye-catching haircut. 

When starting down this path, allow your silver roots to grow out a few inches. Then visit a stylist you trust for a low-maintenance, flirty pixie or buzz cut. 

This technique provides immediate results and highlights your bold, silver-haired beauty for all the world to see.

Pros and Cons

If you don’t want to spend money or time blending out your silver strands and you’re eager for the silver-hair destination sooner than later, this path is for you.

Whether or not you’ve done it before, cutting your hair very short may feel a bit scary. After all, growing out a pixie or buzz cut to your desired length could take a long time.

On the other hand, you may discover you love the ease of short hair, especially if you’re a swimmer or work out often. It also makes a bold, confident statement.

Either way, this method is perfect for women who are ready for something entirely new, wear very short hair already or aren’t intimidated by big changes.

3. Blend it down

Want to keep your length but don’t want to put up with a demarcation line? A talented color artist can blend your emerging silver into the rest of your hair.
