- Temporarily cover new gray growth.

How do I make my hair look more gray?
For a quick solution, you can brush talcum powder or white face powder into your hair to coat it, then spray with hairspray to set the powder into your hair. You also can use grey hairspray color or hair chalk to temporarily color your hair and give it a more realistic look.
