What ageing and character looks can you create with Dark Grey?

Dark Grey is the go-to shade for adding grey to ageing effects. Think an elderly character, a costumed magistrate or a judge with greying temples. The colour is deep enough to show up on darker hair when built up in layers.

You can also use it for subtle streaks - treating only part of the hair creates a realistic greying effect without colouring the whole head.

When do you choose Dark Grey over Silver Grey?

Go for Dark Grey when you want a solid, full grey without the metallic sheen of Silver Grey. Dark Grey reads heavier and less reflective under stage lighting - ideal when you need an aged effect that doesn't shine under theatre lights.

Choose Silver Grey if you want subtle, silvery highlights that add lift to white or light grey hair. For a combined effect, use Dark Grey as the base and work Snow White or Silver Grey through the ends for extra dimension.

How to use it

Apply to dry hair. Use a brush for larger areas, a toothbrush for texture, or a mascara wand for streaks, beards and brows. Work in thin layers and build up the colour gradually - let it dry between coats for better control. Cover costumes before you start applying.

Pro tip: On fine or porous hair, test a small section first. Dark Grey can absorb more deeply into light or chemically untreated hair. Work in thinner layers and build slowly to the coverage you need.

Removing

Dark Grey washes out with warm water and shampoo. The alcohol base bonds well to hair but doesn't permanently colour it. On light or porous hair, a second rinse may be needed for a clean result.

What can you use it for?

• Ageing effects: greying temples, salt-and-pepper hair
• Character makeup for theatre, film and TV
• Cosplay and costume looks with an aged character
• Grey beard and brow work for character roles
• Optically filling in thin or sparse areas in a darker shade
