[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped highlighting my long hair blonde during COVID and now it’s completely grown out. My actual hair underneath is much darker brown than when I was younger and while I like my hair and it’s much healthier, it’s about 10 percent gray and the grays are ugly, wiry, and stand up. I want to embrace my graying hair but without it looking ugly. My face also looked better with some face framing highlights, I feel like now I just like look sallow and tired. I don’t want to do all over color and get stuck on that boat, and have tried all over glosses for my hair but they aren’t keeping the grays under control. I’m considering maybe talking to a stylist about adding some silver highlights around my face or doing gray blending. I don’t necessarily want to sign up for two more decades of expensive salon bills as my hair is finally color free, but wonder if that could help me transition my hair without feeling so ugly. I do love an all over gray or silver color but it’s going to be many years before I’m fully there (42 now). Has anyone done this? [/quote]

Exactly me. Exactly.  And I am 26 years older ! Still  not much gray,but enough  to cover the darkish blonde making it dull. It washed me out and I'm pale. I HATE the salon, hate coloring, gloss was too garish, blah blah blah.

So- I left my front white hairs on top, around the bangs. They look pretty.  Then I used a different  parting just next to my usual part, not  my usual parting!,  and just lightly combed in a tiny amount of permanent  color of dark blond ( 7) from Garnier  in  the very top strands, not every hair, not all over  the top. Just a dusting. I did not dye anything else under that- my hair is still dark blonde under all this, never went gray really. So the dusting of color mixes nicely with the incoming sparse white hairs and nicely highlights the dark blonde  gently  without really dying it all again. 
I will probably  repeat this every 4 or 5 months. And my usual part is the same white mixed with blonde, so no growth demarcation lines. [/quote]
