30 Celebrities With Gorgeous Gray Hairstyles

By far, the easiest way to go gray is to get a short cut. The silver will naturally blend in with your hair color as your hair grows — if you even want to grow it out. Jamie Lee Curtis has had this short, chic cut for years!

Tia Mowry is embracing her natural color and texture, posting this photo on Instagram.

Gray can make hair appear a bit thinner than it previously looked. If your hair is already on the fine side, consider a sassy short cut like Sarah Moyle's.

Rock show-stopping silver strands (even just for a night) a la Ciara with a temporary silver hair color that sprays on strands, then shampoos out.

Many women who start going gray at a younger age immediately reach for the dye, but you also have the option of making it your signature look, much like Stacy London has done for many years with her stunning silver streak.

If you have some gray but most of your original color is intact, a colorist can turn your grays into highlights like Meryl Streep's. Your stylist will apply a glaze to your hair so they look like natural, sun-kissed strands.

Short, gray hair doesn't have to look or feel "old." Just look at Dame Judi Dench! Her playful pixie cut in almost-white has a slight messiness to it that reads more fun than frumpy.

Reality star-turned-businesswoman Kylie Jenner shows how head-turning a full head of silver can be on a twentysomething. But don't try this at home: Going from dark brown or black to light gray requires lightening your base shade to blonde first, a process that should be done gradually by a salon professional to minimize damage.

Dying your hair can be a hassle and a half. Here, Whoopi Goldberg shows us that letting your gray roots grow won't take away from your smile.

To keep your hair as cool toned as Emmylou Harris's signature strands, you can fight brassiness with a purple-tinted shampoo like Clairol Shimmer Lights.

Hair doesn't have to be light silver or white to be stunning and strikingly shiny, as proven by Gorgeous In Grey writer Ty Alexander.

Even if your hair isn't curly like Margaret Atwood's, a conditioner for curly hair is always a good choice for gray because it tends to feel a bit coarser than hair that hasn't lost its color. Try Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner.

There's a combination of freshness and elegance to Glenn Close's relaxed style. To keep gray hair looking and feeling healthy, try a monthly rinse with lemon water (the juice of one lemon for every two cups of water) to help eliminate pollution-induced discoloration and get a brighter tone.

It's difficult to dread going gray when you make an updo look this cool. Singer Kelis is rocking a variety of colors in her hair, including her natural gray roots.

If your gray isn't growing quite the way you wish, ask your colorist for a little help balancing out the color for a fun mixture of tones like Diane Keaton's hair. "When you lighten the right strands, you end up with ribbons of gorgeous highlights instead of a patchy mess," advises celebrity colorist Todd Fox.

Once you begin to go gray, the rate at which your individual strands lose color varies, which is why some celebrities, like Helen Mirren, have a mix of gray and another color like blonde. Have fun with it by treating it like an ombre style.

If you're mostly gray, consider blonde highlights like Blythe Danner's. They're easier to maintain and will blend with your gray to give you a pretty white-blond color.

Model Jourdan Dunn's sleek style is proof that gray can look gorgeous on dark hair, too. Try a temporary gray hair color on mid-lengths to ends only (brush through to blend) or visit a salon professional for longer-lasting results.

Flyaways are more noticeable with lighter hair, so to ensure a sleek look like Linda Fargo's platinum blonde, opt for a frizz-fighting finishing product like Gloss Moderne High Gloss Serum.
