The epic battle between blondes and brunettes has always been acute, but there’s a new player making waves in the hair game. The grey hair trend has taken the internet by storm. Below you will find twenty ways you can accomplish the so-called granny hair look and join in on the latest takeover.
The Grey Hair Trend
The trend unravels through a variety of dye jobs, such as solid grey, gray ombre, grey balayage, blonde and gray blend and others. These hair color ideas are for young girls and brave guys. The riskiest age for trying gray hair is around 35, because you may really look older than you are. If you are over 40 and you want to embrace your gray hair and enhance it, you can also rock the trend beautifully.
1. Ombre Flair
There is nothing more appealing to the eye than a perfect ombre or shadow effect. Here, the silver hair trend is given major life with this exquisite coloring. Add a pop of pigment to your lips and you’re good to go!
2. Dance Floor Ready
Loose waves add a visually intriguing dimension to gray tresses. The grey hair trend looks exceptionally fabulous on lengthier locks. The waves create an interactive light and dark contrast that changes according to lighting and movement of the hair. So dance the night away, everyone is watching.
3. Retro Blend
You often cannot go wrong with retro fashion and new hair trends. So why not add your own flavor to the style? A complementing blue and purple highlight mix gives the bob cut an extra personal touch.
4. Curly Pixie
Give the newest trend a run for its money and have your trusted stylist assist you in pulling this off. Or better still, set the style overnight and go to bed with some rollers. Who says going full grandma cannot be pulled off?
5. Tight Silver Curls
Achieve this ethereal look by curling your granny hair only at the ends. Shape tight ringlets with a flat iron, spriz with hair spray and tousle the curls slightly for a fluffy look that still holds the tight curl.
6. Blue Gray Madness
Tired of your blunt cut’s monotonous look? Ride the silver hair trend train and jazz up your ‘do with loose waves. Take it a step further and highlight with a hint of blue.

Run, do not walk, to your trusted hair stylist and have him or her hook you up with this grey hair dye and cut. Perfect for an interview, a night out, or cuddle times. The style is not only full of body but has a feminine charm about it.
