About Ash Gray

Ash gray requires lifting the hair to very light levels, then neutralizing yellow undertones with a purple- and blue-based toner. Gray tones fade easily and turn yellow over time. Purple shampoo and a toner refresh every few weeks keep the shade clean.

It works best on cool and neutral undertones and makes gray and blue eyes stand out. On textured cuts like a wolf cut, undercut or shag, the smoky effect shows even more. Applied to a beard, it creates a mature, modern look.

Does ash gray suit graying hair?

Yes, it’s a popular way to embrace natural graying. Hair with a lot of gray also needs less lightening.

What’s the difference between ash gray and silver?

Ash gray is darker, matte and smoky, while silver is lighter with a metallic shine. Try both on the same photo to compare.
