Which hair color is flattering for clients who are 80-100% gray?

Red range
Brunette range
Black range
Blonde range

The correct answer is: Blonde range

Many people believe that covering gray hair requires a darker hair color, but in reality, choosing a blonde shade can be more flattering for clients who are 80-100% gray. The reason for this is that as we age, our skin loses pigmentation and becomes paler, and gray hair can often make us look washed out. Blonde hair, with its lighter tone, can create a soft contrast with gray hair and complement the skin tone. Therefore, options A, B, and C are not correct because they involve darker hair colors, which could make the client's complexion appear dull or sallow. It is essential to take into account the skin tone when choosing a hair color for clients with mostly gray hair.
