It’s time to celebrate our gray hair and put it in the limelight. This is now possible with gray blending, because with this trend our gray highlights shine and become eye-catchers. We show you how the look works and who inspires us.
When we get gray hair, the first thought is often that we need to color our hair from now on. Gray is a wonderful color and deserves more attention. With Gray Blending we have found the perfect middle ground and can now put our gray hair in the foreground. Stars like Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker offer the right inspiration.
Sarah Jessica Parker shows how it’s done
Sarah Jessica Parker is more present than ever thanks to the series “And Just Like That…” and confidently and proudly shows us the latest hair trend for gray hair. We can see that directly from her. She now presents her long mane in trendy gray blending. The actress optimally combines her dark blonde hair with her gray roots. The transition is fluid, whereby the different tones create a symbiosis and the gray roots shine through slightly. With this hairstyle, constant re-dyeing is no longer necessary and the result remains – with proper care – a natural color gradient that emphasizes the hair color.
With Gray Blending, gray strands become an absolute eye-catcher
Coloring gray hair and especially the roots can be very time-consuming and requires a lot of attention. We are all the happier about this color trend. Gray Blending is particularly suitable for women who already have gray hair and want to freshen it up. With this technique, the gray can be emphasized or subtly worked into the hair tone. Different shades are mixed together and blended evenly. Highlights and the well-known balayage technique are used to stage the head of hair. In the course of the procedure, the strands are darkened or lightened to ensure special moments of shine and to create a flowing gradient. With Jennifer Aniston, the small gray strands at the roots show how well gray blending works on dark blonde hair with highlights.

It depends on the right care
In order for gray hair to continue to shine in all its glory, it needs a little more attention. Since there are fewer pigments in gray hair, intensive care is required, which primarily relies on a lot of moisture. Thus, shampoos should be used that do not dry out the hair and a hair mask should be used twice a week. It is also important to use care products that have been specially designed for gray hair to keep the hair tone fresh and intense. Sarah Harris also shows that gray blending looks wonderfully fresh and modern and that it is worth celebrating and caring for gray hair.
