"Since the pandemic, it's wonderfully more acceptable to show your natural grays, and celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Sarah Jessica Parker are leading the way when it comes to incorporating their gray hairs into their iconic hair colors," Smith says. "Using a herringbone pattern of highlighting, various shades are woven in among the gray strands, giving a finely balanced mix of warm and cool tones. This really celebrates gray hair by including them in a hair-color design as an additional highlight color."
To get the color, ask your stylist to mix (not nix) your grays and incorporate warm- and cool-toned highlights in an irregular way. "Not alternating each shade but scattering and diffusing the various shades around the irregular pattern of your own gray hair — since gray hairs tend to arrive sporadically and scattered — to work with this rather than fight against it for a hair-color design that is totally tailored to you."
