Our Top 3 Favorite Gray Hair Colors To Try
Platinum Gray
Platinum Gray is a beautiful combination of silver and white hair. This color will add dimension and depth to your hair, making it look richer than ever before.
This color is perfect for all skin tones, but if you’re looking for the most natural result we recommend platinum gray with warm or neutral undertones.
To maintain your new color at home, follow these tips:
- Use sulfate-free shampoo every time you wash your hair (if possible).
- Use a moisturizing conditioner after washing; this will keep your color from fading as quickly by locking in moisture in the strands of hair.
- Avoid using heat styling tools on your newly dyed hair; there are many ways to style without damaging yourself!
Gray and White Ombre
- If you’re looking for a new way to transition into gray, ombre is a great option. The color of your hair at the bottom will be a different color than it is at the top. This can be a great way to get used to gray before making the full plunge into it, and it’s also very low maintenance compared with having all your hair dyed one shade or another.
- The lightest layer of an ombre usually starts about two inches from the scalp and gradually gets darker as you move toward its ends. You can experiment with different colors (blondes may opt for ash blond or platinum; brunettes might try ash brown or caramel), but we recommend staying away from anything too harsh since grays tend to look best when combined with lighter colors like blonde, silver, and golden browns instead of blacks, reds, blues, etcetera).
Ash Gray
Ash gray is a cool, soft gray color. It’s similar to the popular “ash blonde” hair color that’s been trending for years—but with more depth and richness. Ash gray hair has a hint of blue in it, which makes it especially flattering on blondes or redheads. If you want something a little cooler than your natural hair color without going full-on silver or platinum (which can look strange on everyone), ash gray might be your perfect choice!
Gray hair can be a beautiful thing!
- If you want to go gray, we recommend going to a professional. They will be able to give you the best color for your skin tone and face shape.
- We also recommend using a good quality shampoo and conditioner that is oil-based or sulfate-free (sulfates cause damage). This will help keep your hair healthy while it transitions from brown or blonde to gray.
- You should also use a heat protectant spray before using any hot tools on your hair, especially if it’s still dry from coloring it!
- Another great product that can help with the transition process is a really good quality hair mask (like this one) that helps restore moisture back into the cuticles of each strand while adding shine and softness too!
