DEEP CONDITION
Gray hair is beautiful but it is going to require even a little
more attention than your dark tresses. More than likely your
texture will change with your hair color and it will either
become more coarse and wirey or thinner and soft. No matter
which direction your gray takes, it will need extra hydration!
Get a moisture-rich shampoo and conditioner and make it a
part of your haircare regimen. Whatever conditioner works
best for your hair, leave it in for at least 30 minutes under a
plastic cap for that extra TLC.
DYE YOUR HAIR
Some of us are strong enough to go cold turkey and just allow
our natural color to grow out organically. However, if the twotoned, ombré look isn't for you, dye the rest of your hair to
match your gray. You will have to do some really heavy
research to find a professional who specializes in gray hair,
tones, and textures. Ask for recommendations from your
peers, Google specialists, and check social media, especially
Instagram. This will allow you to see their work beforehand
and decide if they are the perfect fit for you.
CUT IT
I know this may not be the first choice of many but hear me
out, just cut it! Releasing the remainder of your natural color to
just get it over with may be the best option to avoid the "inbetween stage". Depending on how much of your hair you
need to set free, a sleek pixie cut or a sexy bob will get the
job done so you can get straight to wearing your new gray
hair at it’s full potential. You can also do a big chop and start
completely from scratch. Confidence is key.
