What Is Silver And Black Hair: What Is It?
If you thought silver and black hair was the same as gray hair, you’re like most of us.
“When small flecks of white start to appear and give contrast against a darker base, it will often be considered as silver and black hair. It doesn’t differ a huge amount from actual gray hair, it’s all down to how much gray is actually shown in the overall look,” Wood says.

How To Keep Your Silver And Black Hair Stronger
The biggest threat to your silver and black hair is a brass attack. To help keep this pesky problem at bay, you need to invest in the right products—that’s where the pro comes in.
Wood explains:
“When rocking the salt and pepper look, maintenance is key. If not maintained this look can easily end up looking more mature than it has to be. The Redken Color Extend Graydient Shampoo and Conditioner gives the ultimate care and protection for this look. The shampoo contains violet hues and will help diminish the warmth that sometimes will appear in blonde or gray hair, while the conditioner will leave a deposit of direct tones to leave a silver finish to the hair.”
