Gray Hair Tip: Perfect for All Color Enthusiast Levels

Whether you are ready to go all out with this color or just add a splash of it into your life there isn’t one level that you are limited to. You can always start from somewhere you’re comfortable with and build up the intensity if you wish. There are no limits to how icy hot you can be.

#1: Balayage

A perfect starting point to adding a different color to your hair is with the balayage style. It’s a technique that involves adding cool, warm or bright tones in a way that makes them almost melt into your natural hair. Together it creates a perfect balance between going full force and trying out a new hair color. It’s an effortless way to keep up with a colorful style without having to change your whole styling routine as well.

#2: Ombre

The ombre style can go from dark to light or light to dark — you can add a cool or smoldering transition with gray tones. Our personal favorite? Dark roots to mid-gray and ending with an icy gray — to us, it channels an alter ego that lives for the nights, drinks craft cocktails and loves pairing her new do with out-of-the-box lip shades like purple or blue. We’re sure Rihanna would be all over that look.
