Grey and silver hair color, otherwise known as #grannyhair, was one of the biggest trends of 2015, and has continued to crop up atop the heads of trend-setters and A-listers in the new year. Color chameleon Nicole Richie (above, second from right) recently debuted her take on this metallic look, posting a photo of her new 'do on Instagram just before the holidays. No stranger to rainbow hair color, Richie rocks her lavender-based silver tone with wispy fringe and a closely-cropped cut.

Inspired by the Candidly Nicole star's shimmery strands, PRAVANA stylist Jamie Muniz created these formulas and techniques to recreate Richie's sophisticated, silvery shade using PRAVANA’s ammonia-free ChromaSilk Express Tones with VIVIDS.
