Root touch-up and cover-up products can provide easy solutions for brunettes who have begun transitioning toward gray hair, providing quick results between salon visits. They’re also great ways to cover any potential gray spots.
However, a salon transition may be faster and can help mask demarcation lines faster than going for an abrupt switch-over. Various change methods have become popular, including balayage, highlights/lowlights, and grey blending.
Embrace the Silver
Whether you stand on the spectrum of graying or transitioning, embracing silver hair can be an incredibly stylish decision. Gray hair is on trend and shows everyone you’re fun-loving, adventurous, and free-spirited – qualities everyone appreciates in an attractive individual!
Consider instead asking your stylist to blend in the gray that naturally exists in your mane with techniques such as balayage, ombre, foliage babylights, and lowlights to achieve more flattering and stylish shades of gray hair! They’ll use techniques such as balayage, ombre, foliage babylights, and lowlights so your color scheme considers growing-out roots – eliminating noticeable demarcation lines or calico hair!
Try opting for a long bob with gray locks paired with soft lilac highlights for an on-trend style. This look looks absolutely breathtaking when worn together and will help make your face radiate beauty and femininity. Plus, this shade beautifully showcases your natural grey hair while still leaving you looking stylish months later!
Go for Highlights
If you want to let your grey hair naturally progress but are reluctant to commit to full coverage color, consider asking your stylist about adding highlights or lowlights as an effective way of transitioning smoothly into natural hues and softening any harsh lines between grow-out lines until you are ready for a haircut.
Silver highlights create a beautiful, flattering look and work wonders on any hair length or texture. Their eye-catching hue is particularly impressive on blonde locks, but their beauty shines through on brown or black locks.
Try balayage or foil highlights to add dimension, hide grey hairs, and heighten the beauty of your natural locks. Your Hair Cuttery Stylist can assist with selecting a shade to match your complexion and style preferences best. They can even provide Olaplex as part of their highlight service to protect your locks from further oxidation, keeping them healthy until it’s time for another coloring service.
Go for a Cut
Gray blending is trending, making it an appealing solution for women who wish to keep their long hair long but avoid the calico look. Gray blending can hide any demarcation lines between graying areas of their head and any existing dye job, creating a smooth transition into greying over a drastic dye job.
But remember that this is only temporary and will require regular salon visits to maintain the soft blend of highlights and lowlights. Your hair color may fade faster due to thicker cuticles in natural gray strands than pigmented ones.
Brunettes should choose gray hair colors that are lighter than their base shade; an organic-looking balayage with silver and ash blonde tones would make an excellent option, while salt and pepper highlights are perfect for framing facial features and emphasizing textural characteristics of curly or wavy locks.
Go for a Style
Gray blending is a salon color technique that creates subtler results without going for something overtly dramatic. It is perfect for medium-length hair or longer, camouflaging roots while adding pops of light tones throughout. Bi-monthly visits to your stylist and using products compatible with color-treated locks are recommended to maintain this look.
If you’re ready to transition, your colorist can use the foil method with a shade that complements the natural grey strands in your hair so that they blend naturally with it and don’t leave an obvious line between your dyed and growing-out locks. This solution works well if you want to avoid a harsh line between dyed and growing out hair without cutting short or opting for damage-inducing salon transition treatments. Additionally, lowlights or highlights may help your roots appear blended more seamlessly, especially when styling with updos, which will help draw attention away from any visible lines between dyed and growing-out locks, if any exist between dyed and growing-out locks.
