Random NWR Hair Question

I've been in denial for a while that my hair is slowly turning grey.  It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is when your hair is jet black otherwise.  On men, it looks distinguishing. On women...eh...not too sure about that.

My question is this - I am wondering if rather than just starting to all out dye my hair, would be it better to get highlights?  I dislike how flat the black hair dyes look, so I thought highlights would be a better route to cover these random greys.  But would that look too weird with dark colored hair?

I've obviously never tried this before, but have any of you ladies? If so, how did it turn out? Any recommendations? (I doubt I would DIY this, I'd definitely go to my trusted stylist.)

I think highlights would look good with dark hair.  I have one grey hair and its right up front and noticeable every time I tie my hair back, which I do a lot.  I wouldn't start dying hair for just a few grey, I think highlights would be a better way to cover up the grey.

Thanks, Hina. I think I am just wary since I have seen a lot of desi girls with what I think are bad highlights...it just looks awkward to me to see a desi with black hair and strange red highlights. I guess it reminds me of that actor who always played a villian in 1980s Hindi movies, Praan. Haha!

I think I'll ask my stylist about it when I see him at the end of the month.

Raangoli, you can do "tints" on your hair... it goes perfectly fine w. dark hair and its sure to cover up the greys. ask your stylist what tints are and he'll explain it to ya.

I had the exact same problem with my hair. I have long dark brown hair, and had a ton of grey hairs. My hairstylist just dyed my hair with a color that was really close to my real hair color and fades out a month or two after. No one noticed my hair was dyed for the wedding. Just my husband My hair is back to normal now too.
