Shades of Gray Hair That Look Chic

Whatever shade of gray you desire – from the salt-and-pepper combination of Stacy London to silvery snowfall hues – there are countless chic looks for gray hair that don’t just make going grey boring. Here, stylists share their go-to looks for making going gray anything but monotonous.

Lavender Gray

Lavender gray hair color is an ideal solution for those with minimal gray hairs as it exudes class and blends seamlessly with most skin tones – it especially makes an impactful statement when combined with eyeshadow shades such as silver or grey! Women with medium-length locks can try dyeing lavender gray strands for an instant hair makeover. Add grey highlights and highlight with a crown braid to complete this style, or dye only your strands lavender gray with peekaboo highlights if that suits you better. Lavender is often associated with patriarchy and wild growth in nature during springtime, creating an exciting dichotomy between them. Additionally, this color may evoke feelings of femininity or decadence depending on an individual’s psychological perspective and temperament.

Dark Ash Gray

Dark ash gray makes a bold fashion statement in any hairstyle – from blunt bobs to long, layered lobs. You’re sure to become an instant trendsetter with this chic shade that combines silvery tones with darker tones for dramatic effects. This icy hue can also be toned to create an eye-catching brunette shade that works beautifully for warm skin tones. Just ask your colorist to lighten up your base using excellent techniques with a hint of ash brown for the look seen on model Barbara Palvin. Are you looking for an effortless way to embrace natural gray hair? Achieve this effect with ease using a shadow root technique that blends seamlessly into soft ash grey tones – this may also reduce salon visits as your roots expand over time.

Portobello Brown

If you like the look of ash-brown hair but don’t want to commit to an all-over color change, try mushroom brown balayage highlights or highlights with this cool-toned shade that resembles portobello mushrooms – hence its name! Mushroom brown is an exquisite color trend that gives your locks a natural and sophisticated aesthetic. Additionally, it can help hide gray strands while complementing both cooler and warmer skin tones beautifully. Your stylist will apply lowlights and highlights over an ashy brown base to create this look. This technique works great for those with naturally dark or black hair because it allows them to lighten sections at a time without doing a whole head color job all at once.

Lavender Blonde

If you have dark roots, adding multidimensional purple balayage highlights could add depth to any style. Light lilac and lavender shades work beautifully when blended for eye-catching highlights that stand out. Lavender highlights can add dimension and dimension to any hair color, including dark hues. Ensure your stylist mixes lavender with bright violet tones instead of deep bluish ones for the best effect. Curly hair looks fabulous when dyed lavender grey; this hue also emphasizes their shape. For an effortless light look, opt for a bob cut and ask your stylist to add just a hint of lavender dye underlay color; later, when styling, you can reveal its hidden hue at any time! This color idea is ideal for women to experiment with new styles without making an extensive commitment.

Smokey Lavender

One of the newest hair trends is smoky lavender – a mix of lavender and silver that creates grey-purple hair with metallic highlights. This shade works best on cool-toned complexions; however, warmer complexions may benefit from using darker or ashy roots as balancers to offset their heat. This stunning ombre lavender hair look was inspired by the rich amethyst tones found within geode formations. Gradations from vibrant amethyst to powdery soft lavender are breathtaking while adding waves elevates it even more. For something a bit more sophisticated than lilac, try smokey lavender. With its cool tones and classic appeal, smokey lavender looks stunning on all shades of blonde or brown and black locks.
