Short Grey Hair Hairstyles
Forget about curtain bangs, slicked-back ponies, and buns for a minute. The next trending hairstyle is short grey hair! It’s such a bold move that you’ll exude confidence and style wherever you go.
Not only are short grey hairstyles perfect for summer and spring, they’re low maintenance enough that you won’t have to spend hours blowing it out, straightening it, or curling it.
1. Platinum Grey Pixie
–>
For those who want to make a big chop and embrace their grey hair, this pixie is for you. If you have some black and brown strands remaining, embrace the salt and pepperiness of your mane. Or, have your colourist bleach and tone them to achieve a beautiful silver colour hairstyle.
And just because you have a pixie doesn’t mean you have limited styling options. You can spike the ends for more texture, blow it out on one side for va-va-voom volume, or even add micro bangs to look sweet yet sultry.
2. Bouncy Grey Bob
–>
Don’t know how to style your layered bob? Instead of parting your hair in the middle, which would, no doubt, still look good, switch it to the left or right. Having a deep side part and blowing it out with a small round brush will highlight all your beautiful layers and make your locks appear fuller.
3. Blunt Grey Bangs
–>
Nothing says cool like blunt micro bangs with a wavy grey bob. This hairstyle is honestly so easy to style—you’ll only need a mini curling iron—but, do remember to always use a heat protectant beforehand. Natural or dyed grey hair is very fragile; you wouldn’t want your strands to break off.
Plus, use a purple shampoo and conditioner when you wash hair to prevent it from turning yellow and brassy.
4. Grey Boyish Bob
–>
A boy bob is one of the best short hairstyles for thin or thick hair. It never looks too “done” so you won’t have to worry about styling it and spending hours trying to get the right texture.
If your natural grey hair is pretty fine, this cut will still look good on you. Just add some halo extensions underneath! You won’t have to worry about them looking bulky because a bob is one of the best hairstyles for short hair and halos.

Medium Length Grey Hair Hairstyles
If you’re not ready to commit to short hair, a medium length hairstyle will be your favourite. Medium length hair, which goes from your collarbone and down to your chest, is famous for looking good on everyone.
Not to mention, there are loads of ways to rock it. Just check out these go-tos below!
5. Wavy Grey Lob

The lob may not be the “it” haircut of the season anymore, but it’s one of our favourite hairstyles of all time. Whatever hair colour you have will look good with it, especially grey hair.
Use a one-inch-thick curling iron to create soft waves and make your grey strands look like stormy highlights.
6. Salt and Pepper Shaggy Cut
–>
A cool girl retro cut we’ll never get tired of is the shaggy cut, or the wolf cut if you spend a lot of time on TikTok. This 80’s hairstyle requires a lot of layers and waves to create those soft, face-framing flips.
The best part? You can wear halo extensions with it as the layers will help easy blend in—just make sure your halo’s layered, too!
7. Silver and Natural
–>
There’s something so ethereal and calming about a silver straight hairstyle. Take note, rocking silver hair requires a lot of maintenance and upkeep.
So, if you’re ready to commit to regular root touch-ups, lots of hydrating hair treatments, and sun protection for your hair, run, don’t walk to your salon.
8. Grey Space Buns
–>
Grey-haired gals can have fun, too. If you’re tired of ponytails and topknots, why not go for space buns? It’s a cute up-do you can wear for any occasion, especially if you haven’t washed your hair in a few days.
With space buns, the “dirtier” your hair, the better, as it’ll help it look more clean and polished.
9. Face Framing Greys
–>
If your greys are only in the front of your head, try this grey hairstyle to make it look more polished and intentional. When more greys start to appear, you can dye them silver right after—it’s the perfect transitional hairstyle!
10. Grey ‘90s Blowout
–>
We love the Rachel cut from Friends, and if you do, too, you’ll be glad to know it looks just as good with grey hair. If you’re already naturally grey, ask for layers that start at your chin.
When styling it, use a round brush or a flat iron to flip the layers inward and make them more defined. Need more volume? Halo extensions are perfect for this hairstyle, just make sure they’re cut with face-framing layers, too.
11. Grey “Clean Girl” Bun
–>
News flash: Gold hair accessories look good on grey hair and they look even better when paired with a bun! It’s playful, yet neat, and will keep your hair off your face (if that’s what you’re going for)!
Feel free to experiment with other hair accessories, like no-bend hair clips, bold pins, silk hair-ties, and more.

Long Grey Hair Hairstyles
Having long grey hair is like an artist having a blank canvas—you can be as creative as you want with your hairstyles. Plus, if you have fine hair you won’t have a problem with giving it a boost with halo hair extensions.
Long hair, like short hair, requires regular TLC and trims to maintain its vibrancy and health, but if you’re ready to make that commitment, check out some of our faves.
12. Straight and Effortless
–>
Remember in the 70’s when women would grow their hair out and wear it naturally? This look gives the same vibe. Except effortless here means minimal styling.
For long hair to be this healthy and thick, you’ll need a cabinet full of hydrating and nourishing shampoos, conditioners, and treatments so you can wash and be done with it.
Got a few frizzy areas sticking out? Spritz some heat protectant and run a flat iron over them to make them sleek and straight.
13. Sunkissed Grey
–>
This grey hair balayage looks so dreamy with its blend of silver and ash blonde colours. To maintain it, you’ll need to invest in purple hair products to keep the brassiness away.
Avoid washing your hair every day (it’s best to keep a schedule of every 3 to 4 days), as hot water can exacerbate the dryness and lead to breakage.
14. Grey Dutch Braid
–>
Channel your inner Targaryen with a long grey braid that makes you look prepared to do anything. If you want to go for a more relaxed braid, loosen some of the parts and let some of the hair fall out.
15. Silver High Ponytail
–>
High ponytails are the go-to spring and summer hairstyle when you’re ready to have fun and want a no-muss-no-fuss hairstyle. For added volume in your ponytail, wave out the ends and add halo extensions to your pony.
