The Perfect Hair Colors for Gray Coverage

White hairs are starting to creep in, and you’ve decided that going totally gray is out of the question. Luckily, gray coverage is much easier to achieve at home than it used to be. But when it comes to concealing gray hair, not all dyes and shades are created equal. Certain colors are more blendable and less likely to fade on gray hair, so do your homework before embarking on a gray coverage crusade. In this article, you’ll learn about the best hair dyes for gray hair like our Nutrisse lines Ultra Coverage and Ultra Color, plus the best hair colors for gray hair and how they flatter different complexions. And our pro tips will help make the at-home gray coverage process a piece of cake.

Tips for Coloring Gray Hair at Home

Maybe you’ve colored your hair before, but gray coverage is a different ballgame. Not only has gray hair lost its color, but it’s also stopped producing a natural moisturizer called sebum. That’s why it feels wiry or coarse and demands increased hydration. Follow these tips for better results.

Best hair dye for gray hair - Garnier

  • Go one or two shades lighter than your natural color. Lighter shades blend in the grays better and are lower maintenance.
  • Use permanent color for 100% gray coverage, especially if you have over 50% gray. 
  • Leave the dye in for slightly longer (up to a total of 45 minutes) so it can penetrate the thicker, stubborn gray hairs.
  • Look for hair color that delivers additional moisture, like specially formulated Ultra Coverage and Ultra Color.
  • Read our six tips before you dye your hair.
