La Riche Directions Colour Hair Dye 88ml (Silver)

The silver is a steel blue purple color and you can use conditioner with it to lighten the color, just make sure your hair is as light as possible and tone out brassy tones or this silver color will get muddied.

SilverI really love this stuff it conditions while it colors, clean up is easy. But sadly I think my hair is resistant to it because it did not take despite the very light hair I have. It sure left my hair silky soft smiles

This silver is advertised here as a semi permanent hair color, however, it is actually a toner.The hair that I used it on was a pale blonde, we left it on for 30 minutes as directed, expecting when we washed it out that it would be silver/grey. The toner did little to nothing to the hair. We were very disappointed. I realize now that I should have done more research on this particular dye but I've used other colors from this brand before, which I had amazing results with so I failed to properly research the silver. If you do plan on buying this silver toner, you're going to need to lighten your hair as light as possible, and leave it on for longer than directed. I recommend investing in another toner altogether.

I was trying to get the "granny" look that all the cool kids are doing. I have my hair lightened to a pale blonde. I followed the directions and left it on for 15 minutes and it only took out some of the yellow, making it more platinum blonde. I experimented and left it on for 30 minutes and it actually got a bit whitish, but I wouldn't say silver. I think it would take some trial and error to get your hair an actual silver colour.On the plus side, easy to use. Didn't stain my hands (I didn't wear gloves) and left my hair feeling pretty nice.

Purchased the Silver toner. Don't be alarmed when you open it, the toner itself is a very bright blue. The container is actually pretty small, much smaller than a comparable Manic Panic brand container. That was a bit disappointing, but I'm not hip to "milliliters" and should have checked that bit first. My bad. To add insult to injury, when I opened the package, I got a little too overzealous and the container flew out and broke open all over the floor. However, it cleaned up spotlessly.This actually works pretty well. As mentioned before, I was working with quite a bit less product than anticipated (I salvaged what I could!). I have black-ish hair and have grey highlights that had gone a bit yellowish over time (or "skunky" as one of my co-workers called it). Didn't want to go back to the stylist and pay another $90 for a re-tone. Applied the toner, waited 45ish minutes, and it worked pretty well. Still look a little skunky in parts but if I had enough for a second application it would have done the trick.If you've tried the Manic Panic toner, this works much better. I tried the Manic Panic version a week before and saw little to no change at all. This is a much cheaper and comparable option to seeing my stylist every few weeks.

I had a level 8-9 blond and my roots are about a level 6-7. I use Schwarzkopf Blond Me as my bleach product. I had my friend in cosmetology school bleach my new growth using 20 volume and Blond Me, after about 30 mins we took it off because it was burning too much and she applied it past my new growth and onto my midstrands and I didn't want her to fry my hair or band it. The last 10 minutes she had put 10 vol on my ends cause they were still a bit yellow. After we did all this, she towel dried my hair (but my hair was still kind of damp) and she put the first pot of Directions Silver Toner on my hair. I waited 20 minutes (5 minutes more than what it says) and then we washed it out. Nothing happened, I think my hair was a little bit more white but nothing regular purple shampoo can't do. So we blew dried my hair and then when it was fully dry put the second pot of color on my hair and I let it sit for 3 hours. When I washed it out, NOTHING changed. It didn't even eat the yellow from my roots!Total crap hair color product. Or the cuticles of my hair must be so far open they don't hold color now.

Shipping takes awhile but the wait is COMPLETELY worth the results.

First off La Riche customer service was great. The toner in silver is horrible. Please do not waste your money read the other reviews of people who bought the silver . I bought the Riche based on the reviews of the vivid colors , this color will not take not even a little bit .Now let me tell you what I did, I went ahead and bought Croma Silk Vivids silver, I do not have a dog in the hunt with Vivids I make no money, I think the two products cost about the same and your not waiting a month for something that won't work. Vivids silver took beautifully my hair is absolutely stunning silver... so save your money don't buy the Richie silver if you want to buy a different color and the reviews look good go ahead but if you see the other reviews for the silver you'll see it is not taking. I would have given it one star except for customer service was so great, because my package was a damaged .
