Silver to Gold Hair Coloring

Silver to Gold

This is very easy to use temporary color and works very well for covering grey. I have medium brown hair that used to have golden highlights. I don't have a great deal of grey yet but enough to be bothersome and the largest amount (of course) right in my bangs.

This product changes my grey hair to gold and shines up and lightens a bit, the rest of my hair very nicely, creating those long lost golden highlights of my youth. And it's just powdered herbs and vinegar and water you mix together, so even me, being chemically sensitive, had no reaction to it. The color lasted a few months and seemed to get recharged when I sat in the sun. I highly recommend it.

Editors Note:

I looked at the website for this product and it is similar to henna hair color. All natural ingredients are used and they say that application takes 15 minutes much less than the application for henna which can take hours. For me this has always been a drawback. As with henna expect warm color tones which can last 2-3 months.

I have also used Silver to Gold and agree it is a good product, lasts quite a while (for me about 2 months with frequent shampooing). I am still trying to come up with correct timing for my hair as I have extremely resistant greys in the temple area. I have used this product 3 times and increased the time on the greys from 3 minutes all the way to 7, which is working better but could still improve. The other, less pesky grey on the top of my head is colouring very nicely with this product, around 5 minutes processing time. No itching or burning, however, 3rd time using it, I developed a few red marks on my hairline, probably from going too far onto my skin in an effort to cover all the new growth. I think they will go away quickly as there's no discomfort at all. My natural colour by the way is light mousy brown.

I really like this product. It is very easy to use and it smells nice and makes your hair very shiny and manageable. It colors ONLY your gray hair with results ranging from gold to coppery red, depending on how long you leave it on. It is made from 13 natural herbs and you just mix it with apple cider vinegar and water and leave it on for the amount of time the directions suggest.

I feel like I have finally found the product that I want to use. I can take care of just the gray hair, without coloring my whole head with unneeded hair color. This henna based product also highlights your natural hair color to make it look like sun drenched highlights. Beautiful results. Thank you Silver to Gold.

Let’s face it, sliver/gray hair, when colored properly, looks stunning. Whether your hair is naturally gray or bleached-out-white, without the right hair care products it can turn shades of yellow that are not appealing. To help maintain the vibrant white, I’d suggest a combination of two products. The first is the Malibu Crystal Gel Treatment. This little wonder removes ALL unwanted minerals and medications that that can cause hair discoloration (for all hair colors and types, not just for gray hair). Using fresh-dried antioxidant vitamins and proteins, Malibu Crystal Gel provides a host of other hair benefits including faster color processing, preventing brassy tones – especially significant for blondes/white hair, increasing hair vibrancy, and helping to prevent breakage.

Next, alternate using a good color-depositing shampoo and conditioner with your everyday cleanse/condition. You’ll what something with a violet base…a little strange if you’ve never used a color shampoo/conditioner for white hair, but the violet cuts the brassiness/yellows and does not actually deposit the violet color… thanks goodness!

There are some great color depositing products specifically for white/silver hair. Here is a list of some of the most popular:

AG Sterling Silver Shampoo & Conditioner

American Crew Classic Gray Shampoo

Clairol Shimmer Lights Color

ClayPac Color Shampoo & Conditioner – Violet

Framesi Biogenol Violights Shampoo

J Beverly Hills Blonde Shampoo

Keune Silver Reflex Shampoo

Matrix Solutionist So Silver Shampoo

Schwarzkopf Bonacure True Silver Shampoo

Scruples Platinum Shine Brightening Shampoo

Tressa Violet Washe Watercolor Shampoo

Vitality's Espresso Color Conditioner - Violet

Some, such as the Shimmer Lights and ClayPac offer both a shampoo and conditioner. Many offer only a shampoo. While all the above products are good, ClayPac stands out as one the best selling at our shop, with Clairol Shimmer Lights a close second.

OK a followup to my previous comment. I had not used the product for months, therefore, once again did an all over application, starting at my trouble spots, which are my temples. I allowed it to sit on my hair for about 7 minutes this time, and the temples were better coloured than last time at 5 minutes. Next colouring, I will go 8 minutes total on the temple area as I plan to do this more regularly (I hate colouring my hair!)and about 5 minutes for the rest of my hair. I had slight red marks where I let the product sit on my skin at my hairline to make sure I was covering all new growth, but still no burning or itching, so I'm pleased. Good job covering greys elsewhere on my head. A good product for my super sensitive skin!

I use silver to gold for the first time, and my hair is a light to medium brown. I too have stubborn gray at the hairline and temples, and will concentrate on longer processing. I used a clarifying shampoo just prior to application of product. Anyone know if it's advisable to shampoo hair before applying.

EDITOR'S NOTES:

Kalamazoo Gal. My suggestion comes to you as someone who is sensitive to ingredients. I do not wash my hair for a day or so before coloring so that my scalp's natural oils will protect it during coloring. I do not use a lot of styling products though. If you do I think some products work better on clean hair. Check the product directions to be sure.

I used Silver to Gold for the first time a few days ago. It was not difficult to use, just required mixing powder, vinegar and heated water. It goes on easily, you just slop it all over your head the first time. Subsequent applications you decide whether to just do roots and resistant greys first. Then work it through.

Many different applications are suggested in the directions sheet. I am a natural light mousy brown, maybe like a dirty blonde. I have approx. 10 percent grey. This product mostly covered the few greys at the top of my head, turned them into a gold colour. However, the resistant greys I have at the temples were not covered at all. That being said, I may have missed them as I did this in the shower with no mirror (it's messy). The instructions sheet did say sometimes resistant greys can take 2 to 3 times as long to process.

I ordered the 3-pack, so next time I'm going to do the resistant greys first and leave that process before pulling it through. Unlike regular henna, this product only took 5 minutes to process, so I will give the greys more like 10 min. next time. You are supposed to do a strand test first to determine your timing, I will do this again next time using more of my grey strands. No itch, no burning!
