Greige Hair Is Trending—And You’ll Actually Want to Try This Cool Neutral

@patrey_

If you're a lover of the recent cool-toned hair color movement— Mushroom brown, anyone?—then it's time to hop on the new multi-dimensional neutral known as greige. (Read: gray + beige = greige) And if greige isn't already your favorite neutral, it definitely should be. Beige and gray are those catch-all colors you can always rely on: Relaxing, uncomplicated, and universally flattering when it comes to most things, now including hair color. By combining the two shades, you create an ashy neutral that blends the best qualities of each, resulting in a striking, yet incredibly wearable shade. It works on cool and warm skin tones alike to create dynamic blends, whether you're into sandy beige with subtle touches of ash gray or ash gray with rich strokes of biscuit blonde. Layering hair shades ranging only from cool to neutral browns, blondes, and grays is the secret to getting the perfect tint. We've rounded up the most versatile greige hair color inspirations to show why this neutral needs to be your next pick.

Shadow Roots

@jerpodhair

Shadow roots let you embrace your dark base color, creating a low maintenance transition that won't need constant touch-ups. Biscuit beige-gray balayage blends into the cool mocha roots for an ombré look.

Ash Bronde

@hairshaftmikeover

This shade veers more into the mushroom brown territory, but tinges of dusty violet gray makes it a little less ash brown, a little more greige.

Fawn Balayage

@hairshaftmikeover

A deep fawn beige lets brunettes get in on the action while still keeping it low maintenance and wearable. Silver and dusty gray balayage offers a dynamic blend of color.

Beige Face Framing

Heavy beige blonde and ash brown face-framing catches the light on this dark base with notes of ash gray. The overall look is kept minimal and monochromatic.

Biscuit Biege

For ladies who don't want to go all in with the silver and gray, this rich biscuit beige base gets brought to life with subtle strokes of silver and dusty gray, coating heavier on the ends. Bonus points for the trendy baby bangs!

Dusty Silver

@patrey_

This ash gray hue lets natural dusty violet notes come out, and the dusty greige finish keeps the overall color light and cool-toned. A straight blunt lob makes the hair color stand out even more.
