Once again, gray hair is trendy. Stars like Andie MacDowell show how the granny hair look can best be shown to advantage.

The granny hair look is once again very popular in hairstyle trends – and is presented by both young and older women. Stars like actress Andie MacDowell (63) or singer Anne-Marie (30) show how to style hairstyles with the fashionable hair color.

For young and old

Has at the Cannes Film Festival Andie MacDowell made a statement with her natural silver mane – and attracted everyone’s attention. At the beginning of the year, the 63-year-old stated on Drew Barrymore’s (46) talk show that she had stopped tinting her gray approach during the corona lockdown. And the result is impressive: Her curly brunette mane was given an ombré effect, which harmonized perfectly with the water-blue evening dress and the silver sequins on the red carpet in southern France.

For the British singer Anne-Marie, the granny hair look has become a trademark over time. Her light skin and ice-blue eyes form a harmonious picture with the silver sheen. Most recently, the fashion-conscious British woman added pink highlights to her silver bob, as she shows with several snapshots on Instagram.

Proper care

What defines the artificial granny hair look is its silver sheen. Maintaining this, however, requires patience, skill and the right products. Since the hair is bleached and then colored with a matching silver shade, the individual strands often become porous and the color loses its strength. As a result, every three to four weeks you have to help with a silver toner, a kind of tint.

Silver shampoo also combats the yellow tinge, but dries out the hair. A conditioner should therefore always be used when washing your hair. Then treat the towel-dried hair tips with a little argan or almond oil. Two to three drops are usually enough and give the hair an additional shine.
