Embracing Natural Greys at any age. Is it a Yay or a Nay
The choice to embrace your natural hair colour is individual and @salonmaggieg our thoughts are there is no right or wrong in the journey or process.
Tips to Transitioning from Permanent Hair Colour to Grey Hair:
If you’ve been colouring your hair for years, the idea of suddenly stopping can be daunting. Truly, the ultimate key to this process is patience and kindness. But here are a few tips that can help you ditch the colour commitment and transition to the natural grey hair:
Get a short haircut. This can be drastic for some, but if you’re willing to rock a short hairstyle this will be the easiest and quickest way to let your natural hair colour to grow in naturally.
You may have thoughts to lighten your hair colour. Add highlights or lowlights that will blend with your grey or natural shade and make the transition more subtle.
If you have a warm undertone, you can start adding highlights to blend the grey away seamlessly providing a soft and natural look. With the use of colour swatches placed on the forehead we can determine if they look natural or unrelated to just what does and doesn’t look good on your skin. Its super important as your hair frames your face and an unflattering colour will either wash you out or age you.
If you have cool undertone, it’s very important to achieve a good cool tone light blond. If the hair is less than 80% white or silver. Any amount of pigmented hair 10-20% pigment will show up warm even yellow. In this case it’s a colour correction process and the end possibilities are determined by the hairs texture length and strength using a stand testing process.
There are so many gorgeous shades to experiment with during the growing out stage. Depending on your commitment.
Light shades can be stylish and a fun process. Here are some options:
Gradual Transition:
Baby lights: These are very fine highlights that mimic the natural sun-kissed look. They can help blend the grey with your existing colour.
Balayage: This freehand technique creates a soft, natural gradient from darker roots to lighter ends. It can be adapted to blend grey hair seamlessly.
Ombre or Sombra: These techniques involve a gradual transition from darker roots to lighter ends, which can be a great way to camouflage grey hair.
You may want to jump all in and colour your hair platinum, grey or even a blonde colour. Since bleaching your hair can be damaging, consider lightening your hair in stages to minimize damage. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone who already has damaged hair. And of course, do your research and work with a professional colourist who has experience in this area.
Silver or White Hair: If you’re embracing your grey, consider going all-out with a silver or white tone.
Colour Melting: This technique blends multiple shades together for a soft, dimensional look. It can be used to create a seamless transition from grey to light blonde.
Important Considerations:
Hair Health: Frequent bleaching can damage your hair, so it’s essential to use high-quality products and deep conditioning treatments. @ SalonMaggieG works with Matrix colours. Matrix offers both low ammonia and vegan formulars and Kerastase for your best most luxurious Hair Care Range.
Maintenance: Light shades require more upkeep to prevent brassiness and yellowing.
Consult a Professional: A skilled colourist can guide you through the process and recommend the best techniques for your hair type and desired look.
Remember: The key to a successful transition is patience and proper care. Experiment with different shades and styles to find what works best for you.
