Switch your usual highlights with silver highlights to get a sassy look for the new season. Check out our list of 50 hairstyles to find your perfect match.

When choosing a highlight color you might lean towards the popular brown or blonde shades, but think for a moment about silver. You can add a pop of color while being unique and edgy! Here are 50 hairstyles you will want to try this season.

1. White Blonde Highlights. White, silver, and gray are those versatile highlights colors that can elevate any base color, even the most modest one, and make it edgy.

2. Bronde and Silver Waves. This shaggy bob is brightened by ashy color and pretty tousled waves.

3. Dark Roots Silver Strands. Dark roots with silver-gray strands are such a chic way to transform your style. Try this balayage color on longer hair to get the full transitions of color.

4. Platinum Pixie. Having platinum streaks with a pixie cut will make you look super chic and edgy with one trip to a salon.

5. Side-Parted Bob. We love how silver shade looks in this style – it makes the peek-a-boo bob even sexier and edgier!

6. Warm Brown and Cool Silver. Being a cool-toned color, silver is commonly paired with other cool colors, but a temperature contrast can be an interesting experiment. Think out of the box and try warm brown or red hair with this cool color.

7. Icy Shag with Gray Roots. This is an awesome shag for fine hair. Pair it with sliced two-tier layers and crisp, poker-straight styling.

8. Curly Hair with Highlights. To get these effortless waves, curl your hair around a smaller curling barrel for about 15 seconds and finger comb after to get the desired messiness.

9. Shiny Waves. Bright hair is for bright girls. Set off your new color with shadow roots for a bigger impact and a higher contrast.

10. Silver Rooted Blonde. It’s no secret that silver locks are a hot trend for ladies of all ages. But which hue to choose? If you can’t stick to just one shade, mix it with ash blonde and platinum for a stunning effect.

11. Pearl Blonde Balayage. Straighten your hair when you have multiple shades in it so you can see the full dimension in action.

12. Rooty White Blonde. White blonde in your hair creates a sense of purity, but to make the color more lived in, mix it with ash blonde.

13. Bronde with White Face Framing. If you don’t want to go all 50 shades of gray – you can opt for subtle highlights that blend in with your base hair color a bit more naturally.

14. Partial Highlights. Do you want to give silver hair a try but can’t commit to it fully? Ok, partial highlights are there for you! Let your dark hair feature some natural lowlights and enjoy the amazing contrast.

15. Purplish Silver Waves. Silver-lavender highlights take your look from sweet to sassy.

16. Dark Brown with Silver. Very dark roots with very light ends no longer equal a harsh look when the right middle color is blended in.

17. Soft Grayish Balayage. A grayish balayage gradient is astonishingly good when it comes to silver locks. If you are searching for an option that intensifies the textured look of your hair, try ash and graphite colors, and add waves to your styling routine.

18. Highlighted Dark Brunette Hair. Highlights placed in the middle of your length and blended in effortlessly give off a romantic vibe.

19. Extra-Long Curls. We love the length of this style! Keep long locks frizz-free by spraying a leave-in conditioner and an anti-frizz styling cream!

20. Long Grayish Blonde Curls. When dishwater blonde is infused with silver, it’s no longer a boring, dull color, it’s a magical dye job!

26. Iridescent Platinum Highlights. These pearl blonde tresses gleam with highly reflective platinum pieces, and the play of neutral shades delivers a rich and dimensional color scheme.

27. Caramel Brown and Silver Duo. This medium brown hair goes through all kinds of transformation: it retains warmth with vanilla blonde strips and gets a bit crispier with icy highlights picking up steam towards the ends.

28. White Blonde Feathered Layers. The airiness of the cut is in tune with the exquisite dye job.

29. Thick Highlights Around the Face. Here, we can see a lot of depth thanks to the ashy light brown base that perfectly chimes with the platinum blonde of this balayage. But the best part is a chunky money piece added to face-framing layers.

30. Silver Balayage with Dark Roots. This color scheme combines a deep dark brown at the roots, some pops of beige in the mid-shaft, and a crisp platinum on the bottom for a nice kind of ombre.

31. Light Brown Lowlights. A few lowlights will blend your natural color with the cosmic platinum-gray.

32. Medium Butterfly Cut. Although such blonde shades look edgy in and of itself, it won’t hurt to make it a bit more piquant with contrasting shadow roots, the more so that it translates into easier maintenance as the roots grow out.

33. Messy Gray Bob. Put a twist on short hair with gray highlights by adding tight curls with a messy, beachy vibe.
