In the course of life, all hair greys, some earlier, some later. However, grey hair doesn't have to mean that you look unattractive or old. On the contrary, grey hair can be very beautiful as long as you look after your hair properly.


The right haircut plays an important role in attractive grey hair. In general, a modern cut looks good, but not too youthful, as this often looks even older in contrast. Which haircut is right for you depends on your type and age. Long hair, for example, can look great on younger women despite the grey, but usually makes older women look even older. Layered cuts that are no longer than shoulder-length are often a good choice. For men, grey hair should be cut short but not stubbly. Beards usually make men with grey hair look even older. It is best to seek advice from a hairdresser you trust.

Grey hair looks silkier when it is not frizzy. Grey hair absorbs light. Wavy, curly or frizzy hair absorbs light but does not reflect it. Straight hair reflects light, making it appear shinier.

The most important thing for grey hair is to keep it supple with moisturising care. Shampoos and conditioners should be suitable for dry hair and it is best to use care products specifically for grey hair. Grey hair looks particularly beautiful when it shines. Various care products such as treatment packs and hair masks increase the natural shine of the hair and make it look healthier.

Sunshine, heat, dry heating air and hairspray dry out the hair. Grey hair should definitely be protected from environmental influences so that it does not lose its shine. If you are constantly exposed to the sun, either wear a sun hat or spray on a spray with a sun protection factor for hair. Do not wash grey hair every day and it is best to avoid blow-drying. When swimming in the pool, wear a swimming cap or keep your head above the water, as the chlorinated water damages grey hair.

Grey hair looks particularly attractive if you have a few light or dark strands coloured in. Colouring lighter strands puts more strain on the hair than dark colour, so it is more advisable to colour dark strands so as not to dry out the hair. A hair dye for grey hair is also well received, as the natural shade is highlighted by the dye.
