Gone are the days when seeing at least one gray strand meant a trip to the hair salon. Women around the world are now embracing their natural beauty, and yes, that includes their gray-colored hair.

Gray and silver hair colors have become a fashion statement for others who don't naturally have it. Whether you've dyed your hair gray or it's something that came naturally for you, we've rounded up the top seven colors to accent your beautiful hair.

7. Rose Gold

The jewelry tone rose gold looks stunning with gray hair. It makes pink undertones pop and is a great way to highlight your hair and accessories as they complement one another.

On the subject of jewelry, white gold and silver tones should be avoided by those with gray hair as they'd appear too monotoned. Colors like rose gold are more suitable, especially if you want to add an accent piece to your day's outfit.

6. Fuschia Pink

Ready to make a statement? Wearing fuschia pink while letting your gray hair down will lift your complexion and make your hair color pop. This is especially true for people with warm undertones. Pro fashion tip? Add a matching lipstick to your look to complete it.

If your hair is a darker shade, go for something more vibrant.

5. Black

Since fuschia pink may not be for everyone, especially those with cool undertones, we've added the most neutral color to the list: black. That's because black is classy, timeless, and stylish.

4. Red

Now, this is a color that looks well with everybody. No matter your undertones or eye color, wearing red means you're dressed to kill.

"Nothing is more striking than a woman with silver locks dressed up in red; it is such a beautiful combination." –– Clare Holden, White Night Designer and Stylist

3. Gray

Having gray or silver hair doesn't mean you can't wear gray clothes anymore. The key to wearing gray is finding the right shade that highlights your best features.

Ensure the shade of gray you're wearing is a different shade than your hair. If your hair is vibrant, go for a darker shade. If your hair is a darker shade, go for something more vibrant.

2. Brown

When choosing clothes to wear with gray hair, it's essential not to mimic the hair color. Wearing the same shade as your hair will make you look older and dull.

Instead, you can consider highlighting the other colors in your face. If you have brown eyes, wearing brown clothes will make you look more flattering, as they'll bring attention to these features.

1. Blue

Using the same idea, people with blue eyes should wear blue to highlight their lovely eye color. It'll bring about a youthful glow. Blue is also considered an elegant choice for people with silver streaks and is a fail-safe option that is guaranteed to bring out the best in you regardless of the seasons.

At one point in our lives, we'll all transition to having gray hair. It's a personal choice whether you'd dye it another color or let it go gray. Regardless, there are some tips backed by experts on what needs to be done during the transition to gray hair.

The first is to let the roots grow a bit. When you start seeing gray hair, it's best to wait at least two inches to grow before dyeing it another color. The second is to be patient. Dyeing your hair gray from a darker color will take a long time.

After hours in the salon, your new hair color won't appear as it is when you walk out. It would be best if you waited a few months for the actual shade to show itself.

Lastly, regardless of whether you dye your hair gray or let it go gray naturally, taking good care of it is crucial. Use the right shampoo that works for you, and get treatment every so often to keep your locks healthy.
