School is about to start and I wanted to do something extreme for yearbook pictures. I was hoping to achieve a true silver, white or gray color but I'm not to sure on how to do this. I know that some major bleaching will be required but after that it seems like I have a few options.

-Manic Panic Virgin Snow
-Wella White Lady
-Wella Silver Lady

Does anyone have experience with these dyes? I'd rather not go the manic panic route.

HI! I am trying to figure this out too. I have seen a trend towards what one called Industrial haut hair colors and hope to find a collection of stuff to try on swatches.  I am thinking it requires lighten to lightest yellow & using a blue base/ violet base... but requiring swatch testing.
(IDK if you mean Platinum~Silver or Gunmetal too hehe)  I think the best method would be bleach & tone... However,

MAJIREL 10.1, 9.1, 8.1 MAJIREL BLONDS GRIS ICEBERG
9AA or blue based clairol HL-B HIGH-LIFTCOOLEST BLONDE,
Complements 12A,
Wella Color Charm 1210,
ion brilliance 12.1
Wella Color Touch  8/81 Silver
12 N premium creme clairol made a beautiful silver.
Torrids : Platinum Lightening 001B
 or 104  BV  ELECTRIC PEARL 
Schwarzkopf Igora 9.5-1 Iceflower
Clairol Creme Toner 323D-Creme Toner Extra Light Platinum
T18 Wella toner or Ultra White Minx
Wink   
           
I saw Wella swatches 9.21 & 10.21 but need an expert to know which Wella brand that meant.

Examples:
On the Matrix web site:
Frosted Dawn : Used V Light & Color Sync 10A and Clear

Soft Pearl : used a combination of SOCOLOR.beauty (ULA, 8M , 9A) and Color Sync (10V, 10WN).


I wonder what glorious greys do on non - gray hair??????
