Jennifer Garner’s ‘Quiet Silver Brunette’ Is the Coolest Way to Go Grey
Last month Garner’s go-to celebrity colourist Tracey Cunningham shared the exact formula she used to create the actor’s golden walnut colour: “A rich brunette base layered with soft, golden highlights that add warmth, movement, and that effortless glow everyone asks for,” she wrote. In the reel, Cunningham shows off warm, hand-painted bronde streaks that blend so seamlessly, Garner’s colour appears to be a uniform light brown when blown dry.What makes this colour so great for grey-blending? The technique Cunningham shared is exactly how the quiet-silver trend diffuses natural grey streaks. “By blending subtle greys with low-contrast regrowth and soft greige tones, the trend delivers a healthier, low-maintenance finish that keeps the hair looking effortlessly refined,” Annabelle Taurua, an expert at beauty and wellness booking platform Fresha, told Glamour.Grey-blending is all about customisation, but if you want to ask your colourist for the same effect as Garner, Cunningham has you covered. According to her, this balanced tone requires three key elements: “Depth at the root, subtle brightness through the mid[lenghts] and ends, and light-reflecting pieces that frame the face.”If you’re loving Garner’s look, it’s also easy to freshen up with a gloss treatment — either at the salon or at home. For a low-maintenance colour that takes grey growth in stride, it looks polished, rich, and intentional — the perfect spring reset for brunettes who want to add a little warmth and dimension without going blonde.This article originally appeared on Glamour (US).
