You've decided to let your gray hair have it's way but you want to do it with style. 

You may have been color treating your hair for years and hate the look of your gray roots. Gray hair may be just the right decision for you - think Meryl Streep in 'The Devil Wears Prada' but how do you get to full-on gray without looking and feeling more like Wicked Witch of the North in 'The Wizard of Oz'. 

It's all about managing the transition.

Here's 10  tips for getting beautiful gray hair effortlessly:

Keep your hair in tip top condition.  Hair texture changes when it loses color - you may find it's more wiry or coarse and certainly drier than it was before.  Step up the deep conditioning treatments to restore gloss and shine.  Use a special extra conditioning shampoo and conditioner with every wash.

Give your hair a treat - use a deep conditioning hair mask once or twice a week.

Use finishing products after you style your hair to give the appearance of gloss and shine to your gray hair. 

Eat to give you hair shine and body - make sure you get plenty of vitamins and eat an antioxidant rich diet to boost hair condition from within.

Drink lots of water - 2 liters a of pure still water a day to keep your digestive system cleansed.  A sluggish digestive system shows in dull hair.

Take a supplement specifically for hair health to boost essential vitamins and minerals.

Revamp your makeup as more gray emerges - gray hair can make you looker more pale and may lead to a washed out look.  Treat yourself to some new makeup in colors that boost your complexion and strengthen your skin tone.

Pay extra attention to skin care - shiny gray hair and a younger looking skin is a great combination.  If you haven't given much tender loving care to your skin now is the time to start.  Visit our anti aging skin care pages for some top tips.

If you've been coloring your hair - fade to gray gradually.  Visit your hair salon more regularly to cut off the old color treatment and get some lowlights to blend in the new gray as it emerges.

Get a new hair style.  Stylish gray hair means a great cut so talk to your hair salon and revamp your look.

That's it - follow our ten tips and you will be well on the way to having great looking gray hair - stylishly!
