Whether you’re in the blending or “transitioning to gray” process, highlights and lowlights are your best friend. Creating a dimensional, textured look is easy by pairing natural gray hair with lowlights (darker tones than your base color). From chunky lowlights to a blended gray hair look with lowlights, there are many ways to achieve a flawless style that will bring out the best in your natural gray hair. Here are some of them!
1. Gray Hair With Lowlights And Feathered Layers
Pair natural gray hair with dark brown lowlights to achieve a dimensional look that will enhance the texture of your natural hair. Also, feathered layers are a must because they add movement to your hair to create a dynamic, voluminous look.

Pairing gray hair with dark brown and silver lowlights creates a blended look perfect for a seamless transition to gray hair. As your roots grow, your hairstyle will look like a trending brunette balayage.
3. Dark Gray Lowlights With Silver Gray Highlights

4. Gray Hair With Dark Brown Chunky Lowlights
Chunky highlights and lowlights are thicker than standard highlights and lowlights. They are a perfect choice for achieving an eye-catching, dimensional look and letting your hair do the talking.
