How do you transition from dyed hair to natural grey?

There are basically 3 main ways to transition to naturally gray hair: to let it grow as it is and be patient (a.k.a the “cold turkey” method), to cut your hair very short and regrow it fully gray, or ask your hair colorist to blend your grays with the dyed hair color.

How can I make my highlights look like grey?

A scattering of gray hair can give you a highlighted look. Create highlights without the fuss of pulling through a cap or trying to paint them on. All you need to do is apply a demi-permanent color all over your head. Say for example you’re naturally a brunette, go with a golden blonde shade.

How long does it take to go totally grey?

It can take anywhere from six months to a year to fully go from color to gray, Ferrara says. But there are simpler, less expensive ways to transition to gray.

Can you put blonde highlights in grey hair?

If you’re mostly gray, consider blonde highlights like Blythe Danner’s. They’re easier to maintain and will blend with your gray to give you a pretty white-blond color. Model Jourdan Dunn’s sleek style is proof that gray can look gorgeous on dark hair, too.

Which is the best way to go gray?

Going gray cold turkey is cheap, chemical-free, and is the preferred route for many dark brunettes (like myself) because it avoids the damage associated with highlights/lowlights or other salon methods that involve bleaching the hair.

Is it good to have highlights and lowlights in gray hair?

Lowlights, as well as highlights, help to create a multi-tonal look that can help camouflage any unwanted colors. Having a blend of light and dark can help to distract from new gray-hair growth and create an all-around more-natural look. A wise hairstylist will understand whether you need highlights or lowlights for your gray hair.

Do you have to go to the Salon to get gray hair?

Blending your grays at the salon will allow you to keep your hair long without sporting a two- or three-tone head of hair. It’s expensive. Unless your hair is very short, expect to go to the salon fairly frequently for highlights, toners, etc. Depending on what state you live in, this can add up quickly.
