Silver is either purple or blue based, so yours is purple based. Just wash it out a few times it'll be less purple and more silver.

Do you have a picture? You won't get a "natural" grey without actually going grey. It'll be purple or blue toned.

I meant of the color you want to go :) sorry I should have clarified.
To get rid of that though, just shampoo a few times. It's super light it shouldn't take more than a few days to get rid of. Your hair might have been multi tonal with some pure white and some having pigment in them still and that's why some areas are purple purple and some are just white.

Well that's actually Sam from batalash beauty. She has a video on her hair with her stylist. http://youtu.be/gRA8goU5mQU
Unfortunately I believe she uses toners that may or may not be professional use only where you live. I know here I can't get wella toners unless I order online, my sally doesn't carry it. You could also use pravana titanium, ions grey (I think it's called metal or something like that) or directions has one too I think. Other than that, a tiny tiny amount of purple mixed with conditioner will turn your hair grey but you'd have to fade the purple in your hair completely or you'll get the same effects.

I think using a blue based purple shampoo would be your best alternative. :)

Will take the purple out of my hair too? Xx

You'd have to get rid of the purple by washing it out. If you put anything over the purple it'll just get darker.

If you want to neutralize purple, you need to add a yellow tone. Washing in regular water will do this, because plain municipal water contains minerals and chemicals that add "brassiness" and "yellowing" to bleached blonde hair. To take blonde hair to silver, you'll need to use a professional silver toner and dye, which can be difficult to find and then achieve.
