The coolest part about this trend is that it doesn’t try to hide grays, it actually highlights them “using a herringbone pattern of highlighting, various shades are woven in-amongst the gray strands, giving a finely-balanced mix of warm and cool tones,” explains Smith. “This really celebrates gray hairs by including them in a hair color design as an additional highlight shade.”
Smith recommends asking your colorist for a shade that includes your gray hair. Ask for a mix of warm and cool highlights. It is important to stress that they should not be mixed in an even manner. “Not alternating each shade, but scattering and diffusing the various shades around the irregular pattern of your own gray hair,” says Smith. “Gray hairs tend to arrive sporadically and scattered—some even cluster into streaks, so work With this, rather than fight against it for a hair color design that is totally tailored to you.”
