Trendy Short Hairstyles for Gray Hair

"Gray is the new black!" Think Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Judy Dench, Emmylou Harris, Paula Deen, Jamie Lee, and Nichelle Nichols; all of them share one thing in common, and that is their dazzling gray hair. All of them gracefully flaunt their short but strikingly styled gray hair and stand out amongst a thousand others! Rule number one is to choose a hairstyle that best suits your face shape, without fretting about your age. Here's a look into some fashionable hairstyles for your silver strands.

Cropped Haircut	Classic Bob	Curly Bob	Long Bob	Short Layers
The least difficult hairstyle to maintain if you have gray, thinning hair, this is one hairstyle that you can positively opt for. It does not have to be as short as shown here; you can opt for variations by having side-swept bangs with the rest of the hair being slightly longer. Or you could opt for a fringe for a fuller look.	The bob never seems to go out of style, and this hairstyle is perfect for all women who prefer their graying hair short. Ideal for straight hair that lacks volume, you can choose to go with a fringe with this hairstyle if you have a long forehead; or you can just have even-length hair all over and still look simply perfect.	Women who think they can't wear their curly hair short are definitely mistaken. The curly bob adds grace and charm to your graying hair, and is one of the best short haircuts for curly, gray hair. Style it every so often to maintain it for longer hours, and you will definitely be able to pull off this classic look with your curly hair.	Extending up to the nape of the neck, the long bob is ideal for women with wavy/thinning hair. It looks naturally stylish and is therefore low maintenance. Apply some styling gel and scrunch the ends to define your wavy hair, or straighten with a flat iron for a sleeker look. Again, you may opt for bangs if you like.	Similar to Paula Deen's classic hairstyle, these short layers are perfect for women with fine but wavy hair. They do require a little more maintenance than the other hairstyles mentioned here, but it is not as difficult as you may think it is. Just blow-dry your hair and apply a little hair spray to keep it in place.
