Going gray? We are… and we’re loving it! As we recently saw with OITNB star Dascha Polanco’s totally inspirational look at NYFW, the gray dye trend is totally taking off. We’re ready to shatter that anti-gray mentality and jump on this adventurous silvery-gray bandwagon — who’s with us? These 10 gorgeous gray hairstyles might have you embracing the daring dye next. Really!

1. Gray + Purple Tips: We love this gray moment on Dascha. Her gray-and-purple ombre ‘do is such a memorable look. She told Latina magazine that she likes to take risks with her hair, and we think it’s time we all adopt that mantra. (via E! Online)

2. Curly Gray: Not only is this a great inspiration for short-haired girls, these curls are also a fail-proof way to glam up your gray. (via Lux and Laune)

3. Light Gray: This almost-white gray ‘do is a great take on a traditional platinum dye. Stay with one barely-there shade for a modern look. (via Love Aesthetics)

4. Flower Crown Gray: Not only do we love the almost metallic gray, we are also loving the flower crown on this ‘do! Stay super on-trend and totally natural at the same time! (via Rebel Rogue)

5. Pastel Gray: Turn the pastel look up a notch. We are totally digging this ashy pastel color. (via Audrey Kitching)

6. Ombre Gray: Let’s face it: ombres work in every color. This gray, dip-dyed look is a winner in our book, plus we love the dark accents coming through! (via Buzzfeed)

7. Silver Gray: This silvery hair looks as icy as grays come — it’s a daring ‘do we can’t wait to see you pull off ;) (via HairCrazy.info)

8. Purple Gray: This purple-gray color is just another reason to love purple hair. And gray hair. So much love <3 (via Weheartit)

9. Gray Tips: This dip-dyed gray look is a great way to get your toes wet in the gray world. Lila Parsons makes the brown to blonde to gray look easy, but if you’re still not sold, give it a trial run with hair chalk! (via HJi)

10. Lilac Gray: Kelly Osborne rocked this gray-toned look right before she went full-on lilac, and we’re loving her (comparatively) more subtle dye job. If she deems the hue red carpet-worthy, we think it’s def time to bring it to everyday wear. (via Mirror)
