What Colors Look Best With Gray/White Hair That Was Once Red?

As we age, red hair turns white (in most circumstances) and sometimes gray.

1. Red 

Once a redhead, always a redhead! Rock the color red loud and proud, and don’t be afraid to wear a red lip with it too. Your shade of hair may be different, but your inner red will always be there.

2. Black

Deep colors instantly complement redhead skin and black is no exception.

Your gray/white locks are classic, so why not go with classic black and white clothing?

8. Dark Blue

Redheads look fabulous in deep colors! Dark blue, green, purple are some of our all-time favorites.

Rock it like a Redhead!
