5. Platinum Hair with Rootmelt. This beautiful ice queen wears her stunning blonde close to its purest shade, with only a dab of ash and barely visible shadow at the roots, which creates some depth and also aids in softening demarcation as the hair grows out.

6. Metallic on Brown Base. This gorgeous color looks 3D in the daylight. How can you say no to that? The smooth transition from dark roots also lets you live your silver life fuss-free.

7. Ash Brown with Balayage. Thanks to the variety of shades, you can choose not one but several hues to create a cool multidimensional feel for your balayage.

8. Long Rose Mauve Hair. A warmer reddish take on a cool gray shade that sparkles nicely thanks to highlights throughout the length.

9. Platinum Hair. Need a fascinating hairstyle sparkling in all shades of gray? Opt for balayage in brighter hues like platinum. Such pastel highlights on dark hair leave an effect that can only be described as cherubic.

10. Highlighted Blonde Hair. Silvery-blonde hair is another variety that looks super cute. It pairs well with most shades of natural hair colors. Another plus is that it needs less upkeep than platinum hair.

11. Money Piece Highlights. Brighten up your dull brunette hair with exquisite strands of luminous highlights. Here is a fascinating hair coloring idea: introduce bright money pieces in the front and get that desirable va-va-voom effect.

12. Rooty Metallic Gray. This dark gray shade enriched with a bluish tint infuses the straight hair with extra dimension by letting the deeper base peep out from under the main color and placing a few lighter streaks on the surface around the perimeter.

13. Choppy Wavy Bob. The smokey balayage spilled on this hair adds a luminous luster to it. It looks even more enticing on the disconnected choppy cut.

14. Cropped Grayish Locks. A grayish balayage will add a respectable, classy flair to your look. The softness of the color and its exquisite appearance offer you that seemingly effortless elegance. White hair also yields the same adorable results.

15. Ash Blonde Tone. This color is exquisite, and that means it requires good care and maintenance. The hair dye washes out easily, so wash your hair with colder water and avoid frequent washes.

16. Metallic Mushroom-Brown. This is a color that can never pass by without being noticed. Try this out if you have a cool or neutral skin tone. Icy shades are most enthralling on medium and short hair.

17. Ombre Hair Color. In order to find the best shade that will work with your hair, you can play around with an ombre. The cascading colors will give you an idea of what specific tone you’ll want to go with the next time you visit the salon.

18. Roored Metallic Blonde. If it seems impossible to choose one shade of blonde, try merging a few of your favorites. Take darker tones as a base, while adding highlighted strands throughout.

19. Short Shiny Hair. Cool and stunning, the icy hair is easy on the eyes and a perfect fashion statement for any party. You don’t even need to style it in a special way since the color is enough of a head-turner.

20. Short Bob. Classy meets sassy on this stunning rounded bob. Endeavor to use purple shampoo to wash your hair. It’ll help to maintain the beauty and brightness of your locks for a long time.

21. Long Wavy Highlighted Hair. If gorgeous hair had a particular hair color, it’d be this dye job. A mix of light metallic and brunette shades like in the picture below gives a certain glitzy feel to the wavy hair. Leave your roots their natural dark shade to create a remarkable contrast.

22. Dark Silver Hair. Add dimension to your hair with a darker metallic shade and ask your hair colorist for full highlights. They are also easier to maintain than a solid metallic shade.

23. Dark Roots and Smokey Strands. Leaving roots darker is a genial hair hack. When your original hair color shows, you don’t need to bleach your hair again. Instead, you can embrace it fully and make it a part of a breathtaking hairstyle.

24. Ash Blonde Color Melt. This smooth hair color job starts with natural lighter shade at the roots and melts it into a darker multitone gray toward the ends. A great way to save straight hair from feeling limp while also delivering artistic gray blending and giving dimension to the thinning strands.

26. Dark Ashy Highlights. DIY fans wave your hands in the air. Please note that such a hair coloring is a bit tricky and not something you should try to pull off on your own. To achieve a lovely balayage as beautiful as hers, you will really need the help of a professional colorist. But the result is mmmm…

27. Medium Metallic-Toned Hair. This long bob with shiny metallic finish is really eye-catching! Its a pity that such a hair color isn’t a color to DIY either. So, you will need a professional stylist to achieve a wonderful result like these resplendent metallic locks too.
