Bleach x 2 (one was a DIRECTIONS HAIR LIGHTENING KIT 30 VOL and another was a Wella hair lightening bleach from Asda)
Silver Shampoo (L'ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL SÉRIE EXPERT SILVER )
Silver Dye x 3 (Directions Silver Toner)
Platinum Dye (I guess you could considering this as a bleach)
Lightest Blonde Ash Dye
A little disclaimer before I go on: In no way am I saying these products are the products you should use to turn your hair silver, I'm simply stating they are the products I used. Also I used them all in the space of about 2-3 weeks total, which I strongly advice against, unless you want your head to fall off, because that is likely to happen :).
Okay so this is the order in which I used to products: (Also I realize I did this all in a jumbled order and used more products than needed)
1st bleach (hair went an uneven yellow with ginger on the back and sides) - I learned afterwards to apply from the back to the front when applying bleach
1st silver dye (all it did was tone down the yellows)
2nd silver dye(still wasn't toned enough or maybe it's because I used it too soon after bleaching)
literally used a third of the silver shampoo bottle(I left this on for a total of like 10 hours (no kidding) I STRONGLY advice against leaving this on for more than 10 minutes, not only did it stain my scalp but it burnt my skin, and my skin looked visibly burned for a week, not to mention I could of had a reaction to it. (at this stage is was half grey/silver, half yellow, the silver shampoo is strong but it won't turn all your hair silver unless you left it on for a extremely long time which I advise against because like I said your scalp will turn purple.
After realizing the shampoo wouldn't be enough, I then used a platinum dye (bleach) to even out the colour and turn it a uniform pale blonde.
I finally used a Lightest Blonde Ash Dye then used the third and final Silver Dye which turned it Grey/Silver.
This whole process was a bit of a mess to say the least, I went into it completely unprepared and knowing very little about bleaches/toners/dyes. I really advise going to a trusted professional if you want to achieve silver/grey because it is a really difficult colour to achieve if you don't know what you're doing. I'm pretty surprised my hair is still attached to my head to be honest and in relatively good condition. Moral of the story is: go to a TRUSTED HAIRDRESSER :P it's just too difficult to attempt on your own and you really don't want the hassle of having to deal with it all. I ended up spending about £50, which is probably cheaper than a hairdresser, but I would of gladly paid more if it saved me the past 2 weeks of what I put my hair through.
(edit): oh and thanks to everyone who gave me advice and tried to help me, I appreciate it :)

Yes actually silver is also impossible to achieve, but the shampoo can get you a good amount of the way! And I think the result is really good! I think a night with the shampoo will do wonders!
And your very welcome sweetie, if you ever have a question feel free to contact me on my profile :)

I don't know hun, everyone's hair act so definitely! And I would think a platinum hair dye kit is just bleach as well..

Do you think if I use a bleach on the yellowy bits at the back it will go platinum/pale blonde? My mum also has a platinum blonde dye kit, don't know if that would work better?

Well I always just tone with the shampoo, so unfortunately not :/

I might do a toning, just so I don't waste pots of the dye, I'd rather get it white so I know it's going to take, what toner would you advise?
Jan 20, 2015

You can try and bleach it again, it's not a sure thing that it will take out the yellow but there's a very good possibility! Depending on the color the bleach leaves it then you can either go straight to the silver or do a toning with the shampoo.
Silver is a ridiculously hard color to achieve on your own so you have to have paitiens :) You very much on your way :)

Just to describe what my hair looks like at the moment, the side burn on the left side of my head is yellowy and the one on the right is a pale blonde, the majory of the left side is slightly more yellowly than the right side which is a pale blonde, the back is a yellowy blonde and the top is a mix between grey and pale blonde. Also, when I say yellowy I don't mean proper yellow I mean half way between yellow and pale. My hair is a bit of a mess :P I just want to get it white asap so I can apply the silver dye.

Can anyone advise me what to do? You can see the colour of my hair in the picture, but my little side burns and the back of my hair is still not pale blonde, what do I do? for right now all I want is for my hair to go very very pale blonde, white preferably (then once its this colour I can literally do whatever I want with it) I don't feel like the silver dye will take because of the yellow bits at the back.

Should I also use a toner to make my hair go white(before I use the silver dye)

I might buy a bleach and just do the back for 10 minutes, just to get the yellow out, then use the silver dye.

Wauw what a result!! that's Sooo awesome!!
No it's not dangerous, it can just dry your hair and your scalp, so I would mix in conditioner to avoid that! But the results are great, so if your not comptable sleeping with it I would just continue as you are, maybe letting it sit for 3 or 4 hours at a time! And then after maybe to or three allocations I would redye it with the silver - that way you get the basic silver in your hair and then you can maintain it with the shampoo :)

Is it dangerous to sleep with it on?

You see how darker the little side bits are, it's a bit like that on the back.

Well it was just a Google picture, so I can't be sure if it's only the shampoo, but I would say that there's a possibility for getting the color only with the shampoo, but it will of cause take longer then using a dye!
Hm how much yellow? You could try putting it on for longer next time, like applying at night and sleeping with it! I knew a girl how did that! If you do sleep with it I would mix some conditioner in it!
If the yellow is very yellow there's a possibility that you will need to bleach again if the purple can't take it out!

Have applied it twice for a total of 4 hours, hair has gone more pale and few bits at the very front have got a white colour, still more yellow at the back, how many more applications do you think?

Sabrina was the before and after picture you posted just using the Loriel and no other dye or anything, because I wouldn't mind staying that colour. I've used the loriel silver for 2 hours and it's made my hair go a lot more pale as you said, will it eventually go grey/silver just using the shampoo? Or do I need a dye to achieve that kind of grey/silver?

I'm a hairdresser... Try a toner that's ash or violet tone and a level 9 or 10.. With a 10 volume developer. Should get you a grey tone you are trying to achieve...
