We love this neat and stylish short style with a sweeping fringe. This style looks great with grey hair and some ashy highlights. It's also suitable for both thick and thin hair, just ask your stylist to add in some choppy layers for added texture.

This edgy hairstyle is great for thinner hair and is a slightly longer version of the pixie cut. The side parting gives a chic finish and is great if you're wanting to try a shorter style for the first time.

If you prefer a sleeker style, this chic look is fabulous for any hair type, especially if you have naturally thicker hair. It looks chic with every hair colour, but we especially love this style for grey locks.

You can add extra volume to your bob with one of these hair dryer brushes.

This curled style is great for thicker, curlier hair and works great with highlights, especially for summer. It's great if you've always had long hair and you're not ready for a super short style.

If you like the idea of tighter curls, why not try a modern hair perm?

If you've always been a natural blonde but over the years it's gone a little darker, you might want to go a bit brighter with the blonde for a bit of change, especially if you want any grey roots to be a little less noticeable.
