How To Get That Silver Fox Look

When it comes to having grey hair and maintaining a silver fox look, the answer is simple: just use shampoo and conditioner.

  • Usually, gray hair needs a densifying shampoo to prevent hair loss or a moisturizing shampoo for itchy scalps. Use a daily conditioner to soften your hair so you can more easily style it.
  • For a matte finish, use this impressive clay with the scent of sweet tobacco.
  • To get that shiny look, we recommend using Redken Brews Molding Paste – this will give you maximum control and a great finish.

There are many modern haircuts that go well with gray, silver, or white hair.

If you want to keep it short, you can try an undercut or a temp fade. For medium-length grey hair, the best option is a wavy hairstyle and if you are bold enough, you can go for a longer hairstyle too!

Conclusion

Remember that the key to a great hairstyle is choosing one that suits your face shape, hair texture, and personal style. Additionally, regular grooming and using the right hair products for gray and silver hair can help you achieve a polished and confident look. Whether you prefer a classic or contemporary style, these hairstyles can help you embrace and showcase your natural gray or silver hair with pride.

From silver foxes to gray wolves, these hairstyles suit all the types of provocative, sophisticated men out there and this list has hopefully helped you pick one!

    Great pictures of older men’s hairstyles. Could you please explain what an undercut is. I saw your picture, but I still do not understand the term.

      Hello Jake! The undercut is a hairstyle where the back and the sides are buzzed pretty short and the top is longer. To give you more relevant examples, check Brad Pitt’s haircut from Fury and Cillian Murphy’s haircut form Peaky Blinders.
