Let’s Talk Options
There are several hair color options available to everyone, but not all of them are appropriate for your hair. When it comes to gray, there are two options: full-coverage color and gray blend. Whether you have to cover your grays all the time or simply want less upkeep with your grays, I’m sure there’s a choice for you in the paragraphs below. What type of gray-coverage individual are you?
Gray Coverage
If you don’t want anyone to know you have gray hair, you can still cover it up in the salon or with temporary touch-ups. Adding highlights to your usual root color can help to soften the rough line as your gray grows in. This will make you feel like you can’t see your few silver sparklers as well because they’ll mix in with the highlights.
Blending Gray Hair with Highlights and Lowlights
Let’s discuss the incredible benefits of blending or transitioning to gray hair using highlights and lowlights. This is a lower-maintenance appearance than a solid color since it blends your gray in seamlessly, eliminating the need to visit the salon every four weeks. It looks more natural and allows your gray hairs to blend into your natural color. Most ladies feel more confidence knowing that in three weeks, they won’t see that “skunk stripe” around the crown of your head, as my mother refers to it.
I often remind my clients that highlights attach to new gray hair and make it appear as if the new grays are just part of the highlight, which not only hides the grays but also blends them in as they grow.
Lowlights darken your hair by utilizing darker tones than your natural color. Highlights, on the other hand, use lighter hues than your original shade, resulting in lighter-colored hair.
