Fabric of Hair: Gracefully Grey🤍🤍

Ready to embrace and bring out the best in your grey?

Here are a few suggested tips that covers everything you need to know about caring for grey hair, whether your statment piece is a silver streak or you’re in a transitional phase where you’re letting your grays grow in.

Grey Hair Streak:
Blend the texture, since grey hair lacks pigment, it tends to have a different texture than the rest of your hair. On finer hair, grays could be coarse, and on coarser hair, they can be fine, or sometimes it can be a combination of the two.

In order to have your grays cooperate with the rest of your hair, styling tools and products are essential. Using a smoothing cream to manage your hair and to help control frizz.

Transitioning to grey hair:
The big chop, to minimize that awkward stage when your grays are growing in try stylish cut. A sophisticated short haircut pretty much eliminates the growing-out stage. Often due to the varying textures of grey hair, going for a shorter hairstyle can help control hair that becomes harder to manage at longer lengths. A shorter style also works well with soft, finer grays, as less length won’t weigh hair down, giving structure and body to limp strands.

Finding the right hair dye:
If you’re using hair color at home to blend your grays, using semi-permanent dye aid in achieving a softer look. So it’s basically putting a hint of color on the grey, instead of completely masking it.

Consider highlights:
Most people believe that when it comes to coloring grey, it’s total commitment or nothing. However there are ways to work with it. Highlighting and low-lighting techniques to blend grays with semi-permanent color to soften the regrowth line. You can choose, you don’t have to fully stop coloring your hair, and you don’t have to do all-over color.

This process of using highlights and lowlights to gradually filter in your natural grays can take several months, but it will help blend your grey roots during the transition while still enhancing your style.

Watch your heat levels:
Using blow-dryers and hot tools will help you create different hairstyles, but be wary of blasting silver strands with too much heat, as it can yellow or tint your hair. Always use a heat-protectant styling product. You can also opt for non-heated tools like velcro rollers or bendy rods to get your desired style.🤩
