"Oma-Grau" , also "Oma-Haar" (English Granny Gray or Granny Hair ), describes the artificial hair coloring with gray tones . The term has an ironic connotation because the granny gray has become increasingly popular since around 2010, even among young people or people who are not yet naturally gray . Some fashion experts even speak of a “mega-trend” that goes hand in hand with a rapidly aging society and, so to speak, bridges the gap between young and old through hair color: the “granny gray” as a method of proactively dealing with graying hair, that is Anticipate and aesthetically exaggerate hair color associated with aging.

The "granny gray" differs from the typical age gray because it mixes different shades of gray, from steel gray to silver, into the hair. Often, purple, green, blue and blonde tones are worked into the "granny gray".
