Ok so I have silver hair but it is very dull. Like it isn't very bright silver, I don't know if that makes sense. I want it to he more white though and less silver and I would like it to be brighter but I have no clue how to do that. 
Help??

"Silver" or platinum hair is often pretty dry because of all the bleaching and toning so when I had platinum hair I spent a lot of money on great oils, leave in conditioners and hair mask to make my hair shiny and "healthy" looking!
Dry hair can tend to make the color less bright :)

I mean my hair isn't unhealthy at all D: it is pretty healthy. I use oils and I deep condition it and stuff D:

Maybe try a purple shampoo??

I was thinking the same as Phylicia. It shouldn't be used everyday but it will probably bring back some brightness.

I use purple shampoo to tone it probably like once a week 😩

It's not that it isn't shiny or anything it's just like its a very dull color. I want it white but I don't know how to do that, it just keeps going silver. But it's very dull (I know I keep saying dull lol but I don't know how else to describe it)

Those are all kinda what I'm going for. Idk if you can see but my hair looks more dull than those. Like the colors of those girls hair is very bright and more white and mine is very dark and dull

I think it might be looking different the way you want it to because in the pictures your hair looks a bit more yellow/blonde toned, whereas in the 1st and 3rd pictures there's a slight pastel blue undertone and the 2nd picture has a more warmer purple undertone, so I'd say dye your hair in whichever undertone you'd like (personally I think the purple would look nice :) ) and it should look more of the way you want it to!

If you are looking for a more bright "blue tone" silver such as the pictures about suggest, I recommend Manic Panics Blue Steel! This was my hair while using it (though a day ago I went back to all brown) and I adore it, I leave mine in overnight and rinse in the morning as it's just a veggie dye!

I've tried tons of different toners (love blonde brilliance blue toner) and toner additives including the infamous wella additives but none of them gave me that bright, clear silver look as much as the manic panic dye!

^I havent tried that exact manic panic color but I have tried others and I also recommend them! I kept it in during the night and they make your hair really soft too! :)
