Yes, and high-quality grey or silver hair extensions can look beautifully natural when made from Virgin human hair. Phoenix Crown’s Silvern Grace shade, for instance, captures the refined sheen of naturally grey hair without artificial brightness or flatness and reflects light softly, moving just like your own.

Grey extensions are becoming increasingly popular. Not just for coverage, but for embracing natural colour with added volume and texture. Whether your hair is pure silver, salt-and-pepper or transitioning from another tone, carefully matched grey extensions can add fullness and blend the stages of colour change gracefully.

Hair extensions can help blend grey hair, though they don’t cover it in the same way as dye. When chosen well, they create an even, luminous balance by softening the contrast between grey and pigmented strands. For instance, layering silver or ash-toned extensions through darker roots helps the greys appear intentional and beautifully blended.

Extensions can also restore volume where greying hair has become finer or more fragile. Using smaller pieces (like our crown or temple range) adds fullness while keeping a natural finish. The result is not a disguise, but a more polished, confident version of your own colour.

The most natural extensions are those made from 100% Virgin human hair with an intact cuticle layer, which means light reflects in the same way as natural strands. Phoenix Crown extensions are crafted with discreet, flexible wefts that lie flat to the head, blending seamlessly into your own hair and moving fluidly when styled.

A natural result also depends on colour choice and placement. Multi-dimensional tones (like blended or ombré shades) mimic the soft highs and lows found in real hair. Choosing a length close to your own and layering pieces through the crown, sides and full length will complete the illusion of natural thickness and texture.

Start by matching the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, not the roots, since roots are often darker. Natural daylight gives the truest sense of tone. If you can’t find an exact shade, aim for a soft harmony rather than precision - a slightly darker or cooler tone will usually blend more smoothly than something too light or warm.

Silver and grey hair can have different undertones, from icy and blue-based to creamy or taupe. If your grey has warmth, a silver-blonde or ash-blend shade can help even it out; if it’s cooler, stick with true silver or charcoal tones. Subtle blends across the lengths will always look more natural than a single colour.
