Gray Hair Color

What Gray Hair Color Is Right For You

Gray or white hair tends to look best with pink, olive, and dark complexions. If you are very pale, you’ll probably look washed-out and should consider highlights or low-lights. Brown hair that looks mousy as the gray comes in can be brightened and enriched by adding in highlights and low-lights.

Another good option if you’re just starting to go gray is to use a semi permanent glaze. This will stain a lot of the gray, and when the color starts to fade, you won’t have a root line. If your gray comes in wiry, it’s because it’s dry, so use a weekly deep condition to moisturize and calm it down. To counteract any yellow tones, get a violet-based gloss at the salon every six to eight weeks; it coats the hair and gives it shine.

Gray is a beautiful color that can add a youthful and fresh look to your face. Women who try to color their hair too dark at an older age enhances their age.
