Titanium hair color is taking over, and—much like its metallic namesake—its cool, silvery, and striking. Known for its icy blue and purple undertones, titanium hair is (literally) cooler than what you might be used to. And, of course, theres an element of maintenance involved—especially if your hair isnt naturally light, in which case youll likely have to bleach your hair first to get the look. Think its worth it? (Spoiler alert: It is).
Check out 22 titanium hair color ideas that are making us want to call our colorist stat.
Titanium Hair Color
Choosing a Shade:If you dont already have light hair, youll have to bleach it. Consider an ombré if youre unwilling to bleach your roots.
Maintenance Level: The brighter and lighter you go, the more maintenance you can expect (touch-ups every six weeks, for example). If you get a subtle ombré instead, you can let it fade out and only touch up every few months.
Goes Great With: Blue eye makeup and nude lips
Similar Shades: Silver-blonde
Price:Depending on where you get this done, you can expect to pay $200-$300 for this, and potentially more if bleaching is required.
