Official Rubies 18002NS000 Silver Hairspray

Product Information

Argyria is a condition that turns your skin a blue-gray color due to the buildup of silver metal particles in your body and skin. Silver deposits may also occur in your intestines, liver, kidneys, and other organs ( 14). Additionally, silver is commonly added to bandages and dressings to help with wound and burn healing. Common brands names include Acticoat, Allevyn Ag, Aquacel Ag, Biatain Ag, Flamazine, Mepilex Ag, and Silvercel ( 7). Any company that produces silver products that are labeled or promoted to prevent or cure disease must undergo FDA approval prior to marketing. Otherwise, the product is considered misbranded and is subject to regulatory action ( 3). According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should keep your daily silver exposure to no more than 2.27 mcg per pound of body weight (5 mcg per kg). Yet, since that’s hard to measure, it’s best to avoid unnecessary exposure to silver ( 19). Summary Research suggests that the effects of colloidal silver vary depending on the size and shape of the particles of silver, as well as their concentration in a solution ( 8, 9, 10, 11).

To develop argyria, you likely have to ingest silver compounds over a long period of time. However, the exact amounts and timeframe aren’t known ( 14). This allows silver ions to pass into bacterial cells, where they interfere with metabolic processes and damage DNA, leading to the cell’s death ( 8, 9, 10). A major issue is the misinterpretation of the results from test-tube and rodent studies. Although a study may suggest that colloidal silver kills certain strains of bacteria in a lab setting, this finding can’t be applied to humans ( 8).Before committing to bleach and all over silver hair dye, try the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Hair Makeup Temporary 1-Day Hair Color Spray in Silver. This temporary spray offers silver hair color that lasts until your next shampoo. Finally, silver is found in other commercial products, such as cleaning agents, agricultural treatments, and personal hygiene products like shower gels and deodorants ( 7). Summary

If you must use heat, make sure to always coat hair with a heat protectant like the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Frizz Killer Serum Leave-In or the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Weightless Blow Dry Primer, Heat Protectant first. Always remember to use your hot tools on the lowest temperature setting and only pass through each section of hair once.Silver hair, like blonde, is no stranger to brassy strands so purple shampoo is essential. To banish brassy tones, we love the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Brass Toning Purple Shampoo and the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Brass Toning Purple Conditioner. This system is formulated with purple dye to neutralize the brassy tones in color-treated, blonde, bleached, highlighted brown and silver hair while keeping it moisturized.

Get the look: If you’re not starting with light hair then you’ll need to use bleach like the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Bleach to create a baby blonde base color for your streak. Once you have lightened hair, reach for a silver dye like the L’Oréal Paris Féria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Permanent Hair Color in Silver to create your streak. Follow the directions inside the at-home color kit for a seamless application. Why we love it : Shimmery silver strands are next level when paired with a pastel hue. The results create a vivid two-tone ‘do that is bold and exclusively yours. In theory, a large number of small particles has a greater surface area than a lower number of large particles. As a result, a solution that contains more silver nanoparticles may release more silver ions ( 8, 9, 10). Why we love it: Fun colored highlights are a great way to add some depth and dimension to your silver strands. Golden highlights are popular for blonde hair because the tones complement each other, so why not amp up your silver hair with complementary lavender highlights? Since silver and lavender are similar hues, you can also use your purple shampoo to preserve both colors. Trust us when we say that silver hair does not need heat styling to look fire. Your newly silver strands will seriously benefit from less heat so opt for air drying or hairstyles you can achieve sans hot tools, like beach waves or space buns. If you’re naturally a curly beauty, reach for a curl enhancer like the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Curls Non-Stop Dreamy Curls Leave-in Conditioner to bring out your hair's natural wave and texture.Editor’s tip: You’ll also want to keep a purple shampoo and conditioner handy to protect your color and prevent brassiness, which can turn your silver strands to an unwanted shade of yellow or orange. We love the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Brass Toning Purple Shampoo and the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Brass Toning Purple Conditioner because they keep your color bright and cool-toned while moisturizing the hair. Wash with the EverPure Silver Care line daily, and use the EverPure Toning Purple Shampoo one to three times a week, as needed.
