Grey Ombre Hair

We have compiled a list of 32 grey ombre hairstyles for women to try in 2024.

1. Lavender Grey + Ombre

Dark Grey Ombre With Big Waves

There are two shades of grey hair: dark and light grey. If you want your grey hair to point more towards the purple/blue under colour, just ask your stylist to give you a dark ombre hairstyle! Also, don’t forget to curl it with a flat iron to get this exact same wave effect you’re seeing.

 

2. Bluish Ombre On Medium Loose Curls

Bluish Gray Ombre With Big Curls

Getting this blue undertone on your grey ombre is actually quite easy. Of course, you’ll have to bleach it and then dye it grey like you would do with any ombre of this hairstyle.

However, you will need to neutralize it with a purple shampoo (yes, the same you use when colouring your hair blonde!) Just make sure to leave it a little bit longer than necessary to stain the hair with a purple/blue tone and you’re done! Then all you’ll have to do is curl it with a big curling iron to get the chunky curls.

 

3. Ashy Grey Hair & Hair Bow

Ashy Grey Ombre Hairstyles for Girls

If you already have grey hair and you’re looking for ways to style it, this is a great way to do so! First, make sure to curl with a flat iron and run your fingers through it to break them apart a little bit.

After then, comb the very top part of your hair to the back, just like in the picture. Finally, tie it up with a hairband and put a little hair bow accessory on top and you’re done.

 

4. Wavy Ombre + Gray Highlights

Grey Ombre With Highlights

This is a classic gray ombre hairstyle! You need to ask your stylist to go lighter with the grey as they reach the tip of your hair to get this same hairstyle. Also, don’t forget to ask for babylights that blend into the top part of your hair to make the whole look come together easily.

 

5. Grey Ombre On Dark Hair

Don’t wosomif you don’t have naturally dark hair, you can dye it black (without touching the tips!) and then bleach it and dye the parts where the ombre will be, which means, the middle and bottom part of your hair.

Of course, you’ll have to ask your stylist to cut down some blunt bangs that go across your forehead to go with the look. You might even add some grey bits to your bangs, but it isn’t necessary.

 

6. Medium Box Braids

Believe it or not your ombre -no matter the color- can still show off wearing braids, and this is an example! Of course, you’ll have to dye your hair BEFORE getting braids, but other than that, it’s a very simple hairstyle.

 

7. Classic Gray Ombre + Very Dark Roots

This is another classic ombre hairstyle which is very low maintenance and easy to get. You should dye your hair from the middle to the bottom going all the way with a very light grey hair color.

Once you’re done with that simply curl your hair with heated curling rolls, let sit for thirty minutes, remove and it’s ready!

 

8. Straight & Short Ombre Hair

Grey ombre hairstyle doesn’t look good only with long hair, but in short as well! You’ll have to cut your hair down to your shoulders, bleach it and dye it grey (remember, this is an ombre, so you don’t want to dye your WHOLE hair grey)!

 

9. Asymmetrical Bob Haircut

Believe it or not, you can get a very light, subtle ombre on your already mostly grey hair. To do this, you’ll have to ask your stylist to really bleach and apply a very light subtle grey on the very tips of your hair so the contrast between the two shades of the same color can actually be seen.

 

10. Long Hair with Baby Bangs

Long Grey Ombre Hair With Baby Bangs

This is similar to the previous style, however, this time the grey part of your hair -meaning, the ombre- should reach past your shoulders and, instead of getting blunt bangs get some baby bangs (above your eyebrows) to go with your look.

 

11. Long & Straight Ombre Hair

Another great way to let your gray color ombre hairdo shine through is by simply straighten your hair down! Of course, you’ll have to do this with a straightening iron and apply some hair serum at the end to make sure your hair still looks healthy and shiny.

 

12. Mid-Parted Straight Ombre Hair

Again, this middle part hairstyle will work just fine even if you don’t naturally hair dark hair. Just ask your stylist to keep the gray ombre low enough that your natural color is still showing so the contrast can be seen and then simply part your hair down the middle and straightening it down.

 

13. Half Bun

If you really, really want to show off the contrast between your grey and natural hair you can grab the top part of your hair, put it up into a messy bun and shake it up a little bit so you can let some strands of hair fall naturally into your face as well!

 

14. Middle Parted Bob + Silver Grey Ombre

To get this hairstyle you’ll have to cut down your hair past your shoulders and then bleach it and dye it grey to get the ombre! Last, but not least, separated down the middle and straighten it with the tips going inwards towards your face. Make sure to tuck one side of your hair behind your ear and you’re done.

 

15. Wavy Short Gray Ombre

22. Long Brazilian Blowout Hair

This is basically a light ombre hair but instead of straight it or curling it down, you can blow it with a blow dryer and a very wide round comb to get this exact same effect.

You can also ask your hairstylist to give you some grey highlights that go up the top part of your hair so it will help make the transition between your regular hair color and the grey color easier.
