Short Gray Hairstyles - Our Top 10

Grey is great: great short hairstyles for grey hair

How nice that some myths are debunked all by themselves! For example, that grey hair is only for the older generation. And that short hairstyles have to be practical first and foremost, not chic. Or - especially popular - that the combination of both is only interesting for ladies at the beginning of their retirement age.

The truth about grey short haircuts

Grey hair is en vogue: this is evident in the world of celebrities as well as at fashion shows. Many top models and street style icons wear their hair casually and nonchalantly in a wide variety of grey tones - from light silver-grey to dark anthracite or in the form of a sophisticated balayage. Granny hair' is the name of the new look, which, strangely enough, appeals more to young hipsters than to those actually affected - namely women whose hair is showing more and more grey strands, especially as a result of increasing age. For them, a short grey haircut would be a great solution that is anything but boring!

The advantages of a short grey haircut

Dyeing, toning, recolouring the roots... the efforts to fight greying are not only costly and time-consuming - they are unfortunately also futile. And many women suddenly react with massive allergic attacks on the scalp after years of dyeing and the permanent chemical bludgeon on the hair. So why not make a virtue of necessity and let the attractive grey take over? There are many ways to do this - and a great short grey haircut kills two birds with one stone: on the one hand, because the hair that has been damaged by all the dyeing can now recover in peace. Secondly, because a short haircut for grey hair can cover a whole range of styles and looks: from iconic like a cool pixie to casual steps to gentle waves that caress the face.

The right care for grey short hairstyles

When hair naturally greys, not only does the colour change, but also the structure of the hair. It grows more slowly and the hair shaft becomes increasingly thinner. A short haircut is therefore particularly suitable for grey hair, because it does not have to be meticulously trimmed every four to six weeks at the latest and is basically the cut of choice for fine, thinning hair. And if light-grey, shiny hair gets a slightly dull yellow tinge, shampoos with blue or silver components can help to neutralise it.
