🎨 Mixology Special: How to Mix Your Own Grey Shades – From Smokey to Space Grey
Grey is anything but boring! With a bit of know-how, you can use Grey Skull and Allergic to Color (our Colors of the Month!) plus other Headshot shades to create endless grey variations: soft pastel looks, mysterious smokey greys, futuristic space tones with blue or purple, and even edgy grunge greys with green undertones. 😍🖤🌫️
Before we start, here’s what you need to know:
Grey Skull + Matrix Color Base → don’t mix, because Grey Skull is already very light and the Base would dilute it too much.
Perfect Match: Grey Skull pairs beautifully with Blackout for darker greys.
Creative Mixology: You can also mix Grey Skull and Allergic to Color with other Headshot colors or Color Masks to create cool or expressive grey variations.
And of course, in January: Grey Skull & Allergic to Color are Colors of the Month – discounted in the cart! 🛒✨
Let’s unlock your new Grey Mixology skills!
💡 1. Smokey Dark Grey – Grey Skull + Blackout 🖤🌫️
For everyone who wants a deeper, smokier grey.
Mix:

dark, cool smokey grey
perfect for underlights, shadow roots or full-head looks
more intense than Grey Skull alone, but still cool-toned

The more Blackout you add, the smokier and more mysterious the shade becomes — but avoid mixing 1:1, or you’ll lose the grey character.

🧪 Pro Mixing Tips
To make sure your mix turns out perfectly:
always do a test strand
apply colors to dry hair (except Color Masks)
remove silicones beforehand
don’t cut the processing time too short
pastel or light grey shades require a white-blonde base
