How to Best Hide Gray Hair Without Having to Dye It

3. Add Volume and Height

Flat, slick hair accentuates gray hair, especially around the roots. Adding volume is a great way to play-down overall gray.

• Create volume at the crown using a curling iron or rollers.
• Crimping, gentle teasing, and back-techniques add height at the top and hide the gray.
• Try applying a hair volumizing product to lift the roots and create height.
• Dry shampoos also add volume.
• Lean forward when blow-drying your hair to pump up the roots.
• After washing your hair at night, pull it up into a bun using a scrunchie while it's still damp. Leave it up overnight. When you wake up and remove the scrunchie the next morning, you'll find lovely, voluminous waves and less visible gray.
