So, if you are looking for inspiration of how to wear it in style – these fabulous gray hair styles will leave you wishing you had embraced it sooner!

1. Blonde and Silver Blending. When it comes to medium lengths, nothing looks more sophisticated than highlights and lowlights. They create a modern, youthful color, guaranteed to give others major color envy.

2. Subtle Lavender Undertones. Silver can become a lot more interesting if you add subtle purple undertones. It’s trendy, youthful, and original – what more could you ask for?

3. Trendy Medium-Length Shag. This salt-and-pepper mane is basically one-length on the bottom, but it is layered and thinned out all the way down for enhanced texture and adorned with a white money piece to highlight the face.

4. Cool-Tone Ashy Lob. Salt-and-pepper layered coifs look otherworldly indoors and outdoors due to the incredible metallic glow. Since silver is currently trending, they are a perfect choice for women of all ages!

5. Shoulder-Length Bob with Money Piece. This color may have been just a sign of old age in the past, but now it’s a trend of the NEW age! Try different crops and spice them up with bright money pieces.

6. Mushroom Balayage on Straight Strands. Multi-tone charcoal balayages can add depth and dynamics to otherwise flat straight strands. This dreamy color scheme does the job with a seamless mix of ashy browns.

7. Greige Balayage Before and After. Embrace your natural color and emphasize its beauty with a silver balayage! Add movement and dimension with layers. These will make your mane look fuller and softer.

8. Charcoal Lob with Ash Highlights. Trendy color schemes often incorporate unconventional hues, such as graphite and ash in balayage highlights. This way, a medium-length cut can be both low-maintenance and creative.

9. Silver Blonde Bixie Shag. The crop goes well with silver hair. Women would look more youthful with this stylish layered bob as it softly frames the face. If your texture is naturally wavy, let it air dry and use a sea salt spray to get those piece-y waves.

10. Wavy Silver Lob. Natural silver looks are extremely beautiful, so we totally understand if you don’t want to cover it. Why not intensify your natural shade by washing it with toning shampoo? Your curly bob is sure to benefit from it!

11. Silver Bixie with Layered Fringe. This lovely pixie bob looks airy not only thanks to its subtle layers and feathered ends but also due to this dreamy shade with an almost unnoticeable cast of violet.

12. Purple Haze Mane with Swoopy Layers. The layered contouring looks amazing on a salt-and-pepper base. Women can’t go wrong with it – ladies of all ages look absolutely phenomenal with a look like this.

13. Dirty Blonde Lob Blowout. If you’re not ready to go for any of the solid silver coifs yet, use an ash blonde hue that incorporates some soft highlights. You can also go for some other complementary shades like light gold and silver.

14. Salt-and-Pepper Shag for Tan Skin. In addition to the side pieces that spotlight the face, this naturally salt-and-pepper head has a bit of layering around the perimeter for better volume and some point-cutting at the ends for extra texture.

15. Greige Lob with Charcoal Underneath. Be creative with different colors and go for a multi-tone salt-and-pepper balayage! You don’t have to worry about your roots growing in a different color anymore.

16. Stunning Metallic Greige Lob. Ladies who have confidence know how to make the most of their medium-to-short coifs. Rather than hiding silver, they decide to embrace it and attract everyone’s attention.

17. Silver Bob with a Side Part. This one is for the conservative ladies who are not into long looks over 60 and prefer the length above the shoulders. This classic bob looks neat and strict, while the side part adds more volume.

18. Black with Silver and Beige Highlights. Blending black and metallic shades is a chic way to completely transform your look. This is one of those cute crops that can reveal the funky, cool, and trendy side of you!

19. Ash Bronde Balayage Lob. Check this beautiful cool-tone bronde color – it’s impossible not to love! The silver and white highlights give additional volume, making you stand out from the crowd.

20. Textured Dirty Blonde Bob. When it comes to white color schemes, there are plenty of hues to choose from. This light beige blonde shade, for instance, looks aristocratic and fresh, especially in combination with a textured cut.

21. Foilyage for Long Silver Locks. This black-and-white dramatic effect is obtained by wrapping strands in foils during the dyeing process to achieve a brighter appearance.

22. Salt and Brown Pepper Lob. If you have straight mane packed in an unlayered lob, pops of white against ashy brown will give it dimension and spice.

23. Gold and Silver Shaggy Lob. What can be fancier than silver coifs? Women become even more attractive with a little bit of another color added to the look. The so-called ‘purple mushroom’ complements the pale hues in the lob. Women, don’t miss this brilliant idea!

24. Flipped-Out Bronze and Silver Lob. This silver crop gains depth through the mid-length with lowlights and then transitions to a shaggy finish at the ends to deliver a bouncy feel.

25. High-Shine Classic Bob. The classic bob is one of the best ideas for ladies over 60. The bob can show off a beautiful color that comes with naturally grown whites and added platinum highlights.

26. Greige with Blended Silver Roots. In search of a coif that would make you look elegant and feminine? Then try this one with flipped-up ends. Add some extra layers to fall around the crown boosting the volume and creating a flattering shape.

27. Brown Bob with Silver Highlights. Check this awesome bob for medium-length manes with not a piece out of place! Complete with silver highlights if you want to blend up your natural silver strands.

28. Piece-y Platinum Bixie. This combination of the bob’s length with the pixie’s layers is an idea of trendy silver crop for women wishing to get a chop without going too short. You will get the desired edginess without going messy.

29. Stylish Pearly Lob. Pearl is a subtle and extremely pretty shade that has the power to emphasize your beauty. Get a blunt lob and dye it this color for an effortlessly cool look. Besides, mixed highlights will add texture and make your ‘do look exceptional!

30. Side-Swept Salt and Pepper Shag. Shoulder-length shags, such as this effortless comb-over seasoned with salt and pepper, are, probably, the most low-maintenance crops, as they require little upkeep. Rare touch-ups will be a bonus, too.

31. Butterfly Layers for Silver Locks. This great piece of blending fills the mane with shiny highlights and thus makes the look more dimensional while the dense layers with flicky ends bring in plenty of bounce and a lot of texture.

32. Inverted Lob for Ash Hair. Fine hair looks fuller in the front when gradually going longer towards the face, while a play of shades can further camouflage the lack of body.

33. Iced Midi Shag with Curtain Bangs. Both natural silver shades and shags are having a moment, but you can arrive at an even more impressive combo by adding trendy bangs and accentuating them with a splash of white blonde.

34. Butterfly Layers in Blended Silver and Blonde. Melting your silver grow-out in some flattering shades of blonde results in beautiful ‘grown-up’ white coifs, which will gain amazing volume and movement with lush butterfly layers and a good blow-out.

35. Mid-Length Silvered Waves. If you’ve already taken the leap, a similar option will look gorgeous on shoulder-length naturally wavy locks. The face-framing layers are a bonus!

36. Metallic Mushroom Bob. Basic coifs with splashes of beige or brown work fine for both blondes and brunettes and allow you to add depth and accentuate texture.

37. Iced Ash Brown Balayage. This flawless color job inserts taupe highlights and silvery streaks into a dark base to deliver dimension and create a muted color palette that will accommodate ashy tones easily.

38. Bob with Bangs in Dove Neutrals. Natural colors can be handsomely adapted to your facial features like it is done with these lighter pieces softening and illuminating the face.

39. Salty Chocolate Retro Lob. The blending technique lets us rock beautifully customized looks, and this straight, full lob oozing retro vibes through the flipped inward ends is no exception.

40. Frozen Brown Curly Bob. This blunt-cut bob feels extremely chic and bouncy with the loose, messy curls while a deep side part creates additional lift at the roots and volumizes the silver-brown locks.

41. Unicorn Metallics with a Peekaboo Effect. Although we have already seen many violet-tinted ideas, this cool stacked bob stands out for the depth-adding black bursting out of the top metallic layer.

42. Salt-and-Pepper Lob with Bottom Layers. Older ladies can easily pull off the ‘90s supermodel long bob that mixes highlights and lowlights and has flicky layers to land volume and movement.

43. Youthful Subtle Lowlights. If you’re looking for a transitional coif that creates a playful, rejuvenating effect, check this longer idea with subtle lowlights.

44. Cool-Tone Salt-and-Pepper Shag. One of the easiest looks for silver locks is when you decide to refresh it with low-key layers. Add some waves to frame your face nicely!

45. Two-Tone Long Pixie. Here is one of those short undercuts that allow you to elevate your sassy pixie with a unique color scheme, for example, by placing a bright platinum blonde atop the authentic salt and pepper.

46. Short Blunt Bob with Smokey Feel. Mixing highlights and lowlights is among our favorite color ideas, especially when it comes to creating dimension and movement in poker-straight hair.

47. Soft Balayage with Feathered Finish. This masterful blending injects plenty of dimension and gives the silver strands a subtle appearance, but you also shouldn’t miss the texture and airiness brought out by the feathered layers.

48. Delicate Off-White Peek-a-Boo Balayage. This shoulder-length mane shimmers with silver beautifully blended with the base hue and complemented with chunky face-framing highlights.

49. Bronde Hair with Greige Highlights. We like both the graduated front layers and the smokey spots playing with the beige highlights in the earthy balayage.

50. Muted Earthy Rounded Bob. That’s a convincing reason to add a balayage to your fresh crop —the seamless transitions feel naturally sun-kissed and brighten up the look nicely.

    I do like the mid to longer styles and would prefer to see the front of the hair cuts along with the back or profile shot. This way you can see the overall look ie: face shape with bangs/fringe or none. People notice you coming first, then leaving….

    Does taking Biotin really thicken your hair? Was all the research on it done on men?; only?¿.

    My hair has always been fine. Going gray now does not help the look.
