Step 1
Create your plan of attack. You've spotted the grays or lived with them for years and you know you're ready to take action. What you do next depends on your regular hair care regimen. Pick your plan of attack with an at-home color kit or consult your stylist for her opinion on the best way to cover up your gray.

Step 2
Manage your first signs of gray with a few highlights. A few blonde highlights are great for blending in some wayward grays. The lighter color adds dimension to your natural hair color. The gray hair falls into the new color palate and becomes part of the multi-tonal new "do."

Step 3
Use lowlights for hair that is more gray than not. Infuse your natural hair color into the gray with lowlights. These lowlights, colors designed to blend with your natural color more than stick out or cover it up, boost your natural color evenly throughout your style.

Step 4
Start back at square one with all-over color. Take the plunge into all-over color if you have more gray hair than you would like to admit, have tried highlights or low lights and want more coverage, or if you already color your hair with some frequency.

on 7/15/2008 I began graying around age 30 and colored my hair to my natural color for many years. Now I am 50 and I quit coloring my hair, but during the transition, I had highlights put in and then later had lowlights put in and I had many many compliments from people I had never met before on how much they liked my hair. It has all grown out now and now I'm going to go back and have the lowlights and highlights put back in because I liked it so much. It also keeps me looking natural and gives me a little younger look. It looks cool. PJ
