Grey hair trend: Instagram inspiration

Curly (grey) hair, don’t care!

If you’re already seeing grey hair peek through at the roots of your fabulous mane, don’t try and cover it up, welcome them with open arms and dye your locks the same grey hue! Just take the above naturalista for example: we love her light, silvery-coloured afro, firmly proving to everyone that you can go grey gracefully. Work it! Credit: @naturalsilversista

Pewter pixie with an edge

Are you rocking a pretty pixie cut this season? Then why not give it a little update with a cool, pewter-inspired hue? Play around with a patterned undercut and a curly high-top, and you’re new hair colour will help to give your look a bolder, more textural contrast. Credit: @itstoian

Editor’s tip: Try using the TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Colour Vibrance Protection Shampoo and Conditioner, as this clever shampoo and conditioner duo will help keep your colour looking vibrant.

Mid grey fauxhawk

If you already love your grey hair in all its glory, and want a way to proudly show it off to the world, try styling your mane in a cool and edgy fauxhawk hairstyle, like this lovely lady!

Silver TWA

The grey hair trend and a TWA? This look is almost too hot for us to handle! Just remember to keep your greying teeny weenie afro looking on point by opting for cool, silver tones. But that’s not all – this is also a great hair colour alternative if you’re normally working with bleach blonde hues in your signature look! Credit: @stylesbylisa

Salt and pepper box braids

With winter creeping closer day by day, naturalistas everywhere will be looking for pretty protective hairstyles to shield their manes from the cold. So, why not keep your tresses safe and sound by installing some box braids? And if you have super short hair, don’t worry, you can still get both grey hair and beautiful braids by opting for coloured extensions! Pretty smart, right? Credit: @allyxxcatt
