The warm hazelnut hue is Clairol's best-selling semi-permanent hair color, and it's not surprising why once you see this example. One thing to keep in mind? If your hair has highlights, you will have natural dimension as an end result, even after applying the semi-permanent hair color all over (which is obviously not a bad thing).

Star Hair Color: Titanium

You can thank the silver hair trend for this shade's popularity among at-home colorists. For optimum color payoff, pre-lightened or gray hair is the best starting point for this temporary hair dye, as the gleaming gray color shines through more vibrantly on light strands. This color is perfect for anyone who wants to hop on the gray hair trend, without going completely grandma. The hints of blue-violet add a peek of translucent color, while making strands appear sleek and glossy.

Hair hack: If you want silver hair as opposed to straight-up dark gray (which can be equally as stunning), you can dilute the product slightly using conditioner when you mix the product. A one-to-two ratio will do the trick.
