Silver shot hair is a hair coloring technique where silver or gray streaks are intermingled with a darker base color, resembling the appearance of salt and pepper hair. For example, actress Sarah Jessica Parker sports the technique in "And Just Like That..."
Silver shot hair is gaining popularity due to its low-maintenance upkeep compared to full gray coverage. It offers a subtle and natural way to transition to gray hair or to add dimension to darker locks. The technique originated in the 1980s, inspired by the punk subculture's experimentation with silver dye.
