This is a very unusual trend, but silver or grey hair has been quite popular recently. It used to be expected that women would hide their greys, but it is now the most popular color. Here are 21 of the most popular grey hair styles that you should aim for, as modeled by Rita Ora, Pink, Rita Ora, Rita Ora, and Cara Delavigne.

2. GREY AND PINK HAIR

The dip-dye look is similar to ombre, but without the subtle fading. This look was worn by Rihanna for a while. It’s great for people who don’t want to dye their entire head of hair. You don’t have to make it perfect, but this is a great way for you to transform your hair one at a time.
8. VIOLET TO SILVER HAIR

It is common for your hair to turn a lilac color when you try to go silver or grey. But don’t worry, this look is still in fashion.

Instead of trying to achieve a single shade of grey or silver throughout your hair, try to incorporate multiple shades of grey into your look. Multi-toned hair will be easier to wash out and blend, and will add some depth to otherwise dull locks.

These icy-cool shades of grey and silver require a lot of conditioning. If you don’t have the time to wash your hair for at least two days, this will prevent the bleach from damaging your scalp. Badly conditioned hair won’t look good, so don’t bleach it if you aren’t sure if your hair can take the bleaching or lightening.
16. LIQUID METAL + SUPER BLUE HIGHLIGHTS

You will need to do some work at home to maintain your hair’s natural beauty. You can build up your hair’s colors by using a “depositing” product. They are available in many beauty and drug stores. Although it may look purple in the container, it can turn your hair gray. It helps to remove yellowing from just-bleached hair.
18. ICY COOL + Bold LIPS

If you have icy-white hair like this, it may be necessary to adjust your makeup routine. You can go bolder if you normally choose neutral or nude colors. This icy color looks great with deep purples and plums. Why not experiment with your new hair?
19. METAL DREAMS

Make sure your hair is well-conditioned to keep it in good condition after any lightening or bleaching. Hair will become dry, brittle, and even break if you don’t use a conditioner. Before you can experiment with this style, your hair must be well-conditioned.
20. ICE QUEEN

This hairstyle is almost Frozen-inspired because it’s so icy that it’s actually blue. These two colors complement each other perfectly, so why not combine them for grey and silver hair? You can choose random strands of hair to be adorned with any shade of blue you like, or go for a half-and-half style that has the top and bottom of your hair in silver. You have the final say! Be creative!
