Considering Going Grey?

Here’s what you should know:

Embracing your natural beauty can be empowering and freeing, and it’s also a process that requires planning and patience. Transitioning to grey often isn’t simple. Depending on how much grey you’ve grown in, the shade of your previously colored hair, and your natural hair pattern, the process can take anywhere from a few months to over a year. Options that best protect the integrity of your hair include:

• Grey Blending Highlights or Lowlights: These strategically placed highlights or lowlights help diffuse the line of demarcation between your natural grey and previously dyed hair.

• Grey Softening: For a slow, softer approach, your stylist can use a demi-permanent to stain the outer cuticle keeping your natural dimension. By going lighter over time, your growout will be seamless.

Ironically, going grey may initially be high maintenance. You’ll likely need regular salon visits to refine the look but a fresh haircut can speed up the process. However, once the transition is complete, your hair care routine will become simpler.

Grey hair often has a different texture than pigmented hair. It can be coarser, drier, or more prone to frizz. Incorporating deep conditioning treatments, hydrating shampoos, and oils can help keep your locks looking and feeling their best.

Grey doesn’t have to be dull or bland either. A few highlights around your face 2-3 times a year or a glossing treatment can keep you feeling fresh and bright.

Every grey transition journey is unique and deeply personal, and it may not be for everyone. We truly believe you should do what makes you feel most beautiful without justification.
