How to Get Lavender Grey Hair
To color your hair lavender grey, first, you need to color your hair the color of the base, that is, gray and then you need to superimpose the lavender color on the grey hair.
If you have naturally blonde hair, then lucky for you! You just need to apply any permanent gray hair color on your hair after mixing the cream color and developer.
However, if you have dark brown or black hair, you’ll need to bleach your hair to a blonde color first. You might need two bleaching processes if your hair is very dark.
After the bleaching, don’t forget to remove the yellow undertones by applying purple hair toner! Next, apply grey hair color to your hair.

Lavender Grey Hair Vs. Silver Lilac Hair
It’s pretty common for people to get confused between lavender grey hair and silver lilac hair. However, the distinction between the two is pretty obvious and noticeable.
Lavender grey hair consists of a dull tone of grey. That grey tone isn’t shiny. On the other hand, silver grey hair consists of a silver tone, which is shiny.
Moreover, the difference between the lilac and lavender color is pretty noticeable too. Lilac is a very pale purple color, whereas lavender consists of purple with a hint of blue.
In short, the lavender grey hairstyle has a bluish purple and dull or matte appearance, whereas the silver lilac has a shiny silvery pastel purple appearance!
