Salt & Pepper Hair Is Always In Style

Sporting the salt-and-pepper look is one of the most timeless grooming decisions you can make—just look at George Clooney for inspiration.

Here’s why embracing your natural grays might be your best bet, along with some pro tips from our barbers on how to manage the transition.

During your stay-at-home grooming routine, you have two main paths to explore. First, there's the bold route—switching up your hairstyle completely with something edgy like a buzzcut or even a mohawk. On the other hand, you can let nature do its thing by growing out your hair and embracing the grays that come with time.

For many men, going gray is a natural, inevitable part of aging, and there’s no reason to shy away from it. In fact, rocking the salt-and-pepper look can add sophistication and character to your style. If you’re starting to see those grey hairs creeping in, we recommend owning it with confidence and learning how to keep it looking sharp.

Oleksandra:

1. Invest in a quality conditioner to keep your gray hair soft and manageable. Gray hair tends to be coarser, so keeping it moisturized is key. Personally, I use conditioner daily to maintain healthy hair and a nourished scalp. When it comes to styling, I recommend using a white or clear formula to avoid any residue buildup that can dull your hair's natural shine. With the right routine, your salt-and-pepper look will stay sharp and sophisticated.

 

 

 

2. Second piece of advice would be to find with a barber that knows how to work with gray hair. Ask for examples from their portfolio and don't settle for mediocre. You can do any style you desire, it's the texture they need to understand.

3. For a styling product. Don't be afraid of pomade. My favorite go to is Hardworking Gentlemen pomade. It's vegan and using the clear formula allows it to not have any reside buildup in your hair. Top choice!
