Looking to go a little more against the grain? Then this grey hair dye is exactly what you need. It has a metallic hue that’ll give you a grungy, edgy look that’s a throwback to the cool kids of the ’90s.

This affordable kit includes everything you need to safely color-treat your hair at home, including hair dye, an application bottle and lotion, gloves, and a protective hair treatment.

This semi-permanent grey hair dye creates a deeper shade, which is perfect for those who want something more slate than silvery.

Because semi-permanent dye can only deposit color — not lighten your existing color on your light or pre-lightened hair — it's a must-have if you want to experiment with your hair, minus the commitment.

Toners are products that change the tone of your hair, and they typically last up to 4 weeks. Adams recommends Wella’s Color Charm toners because “they eliminate brass almost immediately, and are super gentle after the lightning process.”

Although they make many shades for light and dark hair, you'll want to opt for T18, an ash blonde, or T35, a beige blonde. You can also combine the two shades and customize your look.

"They give you the ability to create the perfect light tones every time," he adds.

This purple shampoo is another must-have for Adams, who called it his favorite product for maintaining silver and grey tones. “It works by neutralizing unwanted warmth, while keeping your silver shade beautiful and fresh,” he adds.

You can use this floral-scented shampoo and matching conditioner up to twice a week, according to the brand.

Your freshly dyed grey hair will become stronger, thanks to this weekly pH-balanced hair treatment that helps strengthen your hair bonds. “The stronger the bonds are, the less the color will fade,” Bodt says.

Even better? It works for all hair textures — from coily and curly to wavy and straight.

We also appreciate that it earned the “Clean at Sephora” tag, which indicates that it’s free of more than 50 ingredients the retailer considers questionable.

If you just want to try on a few streaks for a spell, this spray-on hair “makeup” is the perfect solution. It dries onto hair with the heat from your blow dryer, and then washes out easily after one or two showers.

It's also a great option for when you want to switch up your look, but avoid ammonia and peroxide.

Want a grey hair dye that’ll only last for a few washes? Then give this semi-permanent dye a try. It'll let you live out all of your silver-vixen dreams ... up until you're ready to try something new.

As a bonus, Adore's grey hair dye has earned rave reviews across all sites, ranging from Amazon and Walmart to Ulta.

If you're true to your tones, then this silver hue from Keracolor is a must-have for you. There will be no extra steps to your usual haircare routine, since this is a regular conditioner that also adds color to your hair while it works. It’s perfect for keeping up your color between salon visits.

This grey hair dye bottle may say “platinum,” but it has a light lavender hint that adds a cool, minimally modern touch to your freshly colored strands.

MOROCCANOIL'S hair mask not only dyes your strands, but also conditions and softens. So, you won't have to worry about post-color dryness or damage.

It also smells like an enticing blend of warm musk, spicy amber, and sweet florals.

Full disclosure: We fell in love with the name first because it reminded us of Derek Zoolander. Blue Steel, a light-blue, metallic hair dye from Manic Panic, will give already-blonde hair a wash of silvery coolness: Think a more “metal” edge.

If you're an animal lover, be sure to add this cruelty-free and vegan grey hair dye to your online cart ASAP.

Here's another temporary grey hair dye if you aren't ready to take the plunge just yet. This one is in spray form, and extremely easy to apply. Just shake well and spray the nozzle onto the desired area, and you'll have silvery-grey hair just for the day (or night).

Just remember to let the product dry for a minute, and brush out your hair to help disperse it.

To give your grey locks a metallic sheen, try out this silvery shade.

Plus, this conditioning formula deposits intense and “beautiful pigment” into your hair while softening and strengthening it, resulting in a mane that’s healthy and happy from the inside out, according to Rubenstein.

Sometimes, dyeing hair can cause the locks to lose their sheen. If you're looking to bring that radiance right back, this clear gloss is just what you need. It helps restore a glossy, healthy look to fragile strands.

The Color Boosting Gloss is a semi-permanent product that easily lasts for up to 10 shampoos.
