Black To Grey Ombre

Naturally going grey at your roots happens whether you like it or not, but getting grey ombre color on your ends is going to take some work. Whether your hair is naturally black or you’ve dyed it dark, you’ll need to bleach your ends before they can go grey, and you should stop coloring your hair for as long as possible before bleaching. Apply bleach to the ends of your hair as high as you’d like your ombre color to go, working with smaller pieces at a time to get a more natural ombre look. You’ll want your hair to be bleached to a pale yellow shade, which might take more than one bleaching treatment. Next, apply a purple toner to counteract the yellow tones left over after bleaching. Once hair is bleached and toned, you can apply a grey or silver dye to achieve your finished granny glam style!
