50 Gorgeous Grey Hair Styles

Prev1 of 50Next


Many women are shy of their first gray hairs and try to cover them up with permanent dyes. While these greys are not numerous, and you are still young that really makes sense. And when you are turning grayer, you can either consider going blondish or sport your silver locks with pride and style. After viewing the following grey hairstyles, you may completely change your opinion about grey locks. When else in your life could you have that stunning silver hue that looked absolutely natural and flattering on you? So, take your time and give some of your attention to the following gorgeous looks to select the best haircut and hairstyle for yourself.



To Hide Greys Or Not To Hide?


Normally women want to cover up gray because they want to look younger, whereas gray hair has been associated with old age. However, today even younger celebrities who can work with the best colorists and have whatever hair hue they want, opt to go gray!? Check Rihanna’s gray hair or Pink’s gray hair looks, for instance. It’s really becoming a trend that you simply shouldn’t leave without attention, especially when it offers you so many perks. Just imagine saving monthly on permanent dyes and leaving all those pains when trying to achieve the perfect hue…





What Are The Best Hairstyles For Grey Hair?


There are too many, depending on your hair texture and preferable length. Generally speaking, grey hairstyles look dignified. They frame the face stately and draw attention rather to your facial features than any fancy styling tricks. You may have bangs with grey hairstyles, but they are either light and well-trimmed or styled to one side.



  • - Short grey hairstyles. If you like pixie hairstyles, keep them sassy and edgy, adding lots of texture to look modern. In case of hairstyles based on classic bobs, you can, certainly, style them sleek with a side parting or messy and curly in a playful manner.

  • - Medium grey hairstyles. Mid-length grey hairstyles make an accent on layers, texture or finish for the ends. They are simple and refined, showing off healthy locks with an exceptional silver hue.

  • - Long hairstyles with greys are not as popular as shorter grey versions. Besides, long hair is harder to maintain. But who knows, maybe you are an exception? Anyway, I believe an older lady looks more contemporary and stylish with a short or shoulder-length hairstyle. Below are some really nice examples to follow.
