Gray blending is more than just a hair coloring technique that incorporates your gray hair into your color. It's a methodology that allows you to keep your natural color while enhancing it with gray hair products or blending in the gray with colors similar to your natural tone. It's about embracing gray and enhancing it rather than covering it up completely. Show
VEGAMOUR spoke with the experts to explain how to get the look and if it's right for you. Plus, discover the hair products that can enhance gray blending while preserving your hair's natural color. Is Gray Blending Right for You?As more women and men begin to embrace their gray hair and incorporate it into their style — rather than trying to cover it up or hide it — gray blending is taking over as a popular hair color trend. Because your natural color inspires the finished look, your stylist can help you create a color and style that is uniquely you — and on-trend. A gray blending service is great for people who:
If you'd rather not spend hours in a salon chair, there are also gray hair products that can enhance your natural color while minimizing the appearance of grays. Benefits of Gray BlendingVEGAMOUR spoke with expert Nathan Watson of LionLocs about the benefits of gray blending to jazz up your gray hair. "In the past, we have seen trends dominate fashion, such as the perm era, the highlight decade, balayage, vivid colors and tonal work," said Watson. "Now, there is a move toward natural hair enhancement and gray blending is the new movement in hair color." Watson explained how gray blending works, and why it looks different for everyone. "Basically, it’s like gray camouflage," he said. "It’s a low-maintenance color technique that hides the gray by adding in other colors that are similar to your hair’s natural shade. This way it appears less gray, silver or white and creates a smoother transition to these lighter shades." "The gray will still be in the mix but won’t be the dominant color," he continued. "Think of it like adding more pepper to that salt. Because every head of hair and hair color is unique, there’s no universal method for gray blending."

They'll create a gray blending color treatment just for you based on your hair type, the shade of your gray and how much gray you want to be included in the final result. You might opt for a minimal appearance of gray while leaving some white strands as highlights. Or, you can leave some grays or streaks of silver strands for a dimensional look. Some colorists may choose to add a few pieces of blonde highlights or soft neutral brown areas of partial coverage so that the end result is a wash of colors that seamlessly shift from lighter areas to darker ones. Each gray blending service is unique based on your natural hair color palette. Pros of Gray Blending TechniquesBlending gray hair rather than covering it up is a great hair coloring service to try at that first sign of gray. The technique has some perks, including:
Cons of Gray Blending TechniquesThere aren't a lot of cons to blending gray hair, but it can be costly if coloring services are used, and like all hair color treatments, it's only temporary. Gray blending only disguises gray hair — it does not completely cover up all the gray. It might require multiple sessions to transition to a gray blended look if you're used to regular all-over color treatments. If you're sensitive to hair coloring products, gray blending probably isn't the best solution for you.

Always seek professional medical advice from your physician. Can you put highlights or lowlights in grey hair?Yes, gray hair can be highlighted. Just keep in mind that, when you're highlighting gray locks, the goal is to blend silver strays and create an ultra-natural finish.
How do you transition to grey with highlights?Apply Hair Color With Foils
If you're trying to transition to gray hair, you want to avoid an all-over dye job. Instead, have your colorist apply your hair color with foils — much like applying highlights, except you won't be lightening your hair. This will simply help you transition between the two shades seamlessly.
Will highlights help blend grey hair?' Yes, highlighting in most cases is more effective in blending grays with the rest of your hair than traditional dyeing. A simple formula: highlights to disguise gray hair are recommended when there's no more than 30% of gray hair if you're brunette or 40% if you're blonde.
What is the best color to blend with gray hair?Neutral shades like soft blonde, mushroom brown, light copper, and caramel blonde balayage are the easiest to blend gray into (and maintain over time without wanting to shave your hair off).
