NATURAL AND DYED GRAY

Six Gray Hair Looks, Natural and Dyed

Two looks show natural graying on a male model; four show all-over dyed grays on a female model. Every original and result pair is the same person.

AI examples on two models. Your preview depends on your photo; it doesn't forecast how your hair will gray or predict a salon result.

Silver gray

A polished, cool silver colored evenly from roots to ends. Lighter and brighter than steel, with a metallic sheen.

Compare: silver gray and snow white to judge how bright you want to go.

Natural graying: where gray shows

Mixed with the original color, so there is no single shade or depth.

Dyed gray: one tone all over

Each covers the whole head evenly.

01 · NATURAL OR DYED

Natural vs Dyed Gray Hair

Natural graying is about where gray appears and how much of the original color stays. Dyed gray colors the whole head one even tone. Select a look here to update the photos and the tool above.

  • Salt & pepper mixes gray strands all through; gray temples keeps gray mostly at the sides.
  • Charcoal, steel, silver and white run from deepest to lightest, each one tone from roots to ends.

02 · WHERE GRAY SHOWS

Salt & Pepper vs Gray Temples

Both natural looks are shown on the same male model, with his original chestnut hair as the reference. Salt & pepper spreads gray-white strands through the whole cut; gray temples keeps gray at the sides and sideburns and leaves the top darker.

  • Look at how much of the original color remains, not only how gray the result looks.
  • Graying varies from person to person; an example shows a look, not when or how your hair will gray.

03 · YOUR PHOTO

Try On Gray Hair in Daylight

Gray, silver and white carry little color of their own, so the light in a photo shows in them. Face a window in soft daylight with your hairline visible, then judge the preview next to your original.

  • Warm lamps can make silver and white look creamy or yellow, and colored light can tint them.
  • For salt & pepper or gray temples, keep your temples and sideburns clear of hats and hair.

Gray Hair Filter Details

Natural graying, dyed grays, photo tips and what a preview can show.

Upload a portrait or choose a sample, select one of the six gray looks and generate a preview. Compare the result with your original before deciding on anything.

Snow white is the lightest and brightest of the six; silver gray is a cool, polished gray with a metallic look. Try both on the same photo to see how each sits next to your brows and skin.

Salt & pepper mixes gray-white strands through your own color; gray temples puts gray mainly at the temples and sideburns and leaves the top darker. The examples use a male model, but both can be previewed on any portrait. They show a look, not how or when your own hair will gray.

The edit aims to change the hair color, not to add wrinkles or age your face. AI may still alter small details, so compare your skin, brows, hairline and facial hair with the original.

These four color the whole head one even tone, from the deepest charcoal to the lightest white. Steel adds a subtle blue tint and silver has a polished sheen. Compare two or three on the same photo; skin-tone advice is a starting point, not a rule.

The preview can show silver or white on a dark-haired photo, but it does not assess your hair. Light grays generally depend on lightening in a salon, and results vary with hair history, so ask a colorist what is realistic for your hair.

A preview helps you picture a direction, such as keeping natural gray or trying an all-over gray. It can't show how your gray strands will take dye or how a grow-out will look over time, so talk through covering or blending options with a colorist.

This gray hair filter edits a still photo instead of a live camera feed, so you can compare the result with your original and download it. Lighting and image quality still affect how gray reads.

The filter runs in the browser on a phone or computer, so there is nothing to install. Browsing the looks is free; generating a preview uses credits, and the amount is shown on the button before you start.

The six options are natural graying looks or all-over grays. For lighter pieces placed through the hair, use Highlights; to explore your own depth and tone, use the Hair dye simulator.
