How to Use Ash Blonde Color to Enhance Gray Hair
Gray hair, if cared for properly, can be stunning. If you would like to retain your natural look but make your gray hair appear younger-looking, you can enhance your hair using an ash blonde hair color dye kit. Ash blonde is a color between blonde and gray, so rather than completely changing your hair color, ash blonde coloring will merely enhance your gray hair, giving it a fresher, more vibrant look.

Tips & Warnings
Try a wash-out hair color kit, which provides only temporary color, before using a permanent one.
For lighter results, leave the dye on for the lowest recommended amount of time.
Be careful not to leave the dye on your hair too long; otherwise, your results might be darker than desired.
