For a more neutral shade bordering on gray, try out a stonewashed denim color. This look is a bit more wearable, especially when it comes time to bust out your summer wardrobe. (via @glamhairbymarie)<b>Double Dipped</b>
Double the denim, double the fun! Try out two shades simultaneously — the sharp contrast (especially with those blunt bangs) gives the style some major edge. (via @zoelondondj)<b>Ombre Gray</b>
