Embracing your greys? Here’s how to care for natural grey hair

3 September 2019 by Beth Ryan

Some things in life are inevitable. The sun will set every evening, I will always eat the entire share-size bag of crisps and most of us will go grey. That’s just life. Grey hair has a bad rap for meaning you’re getting old but, unless thirty is old (it’s not), that’s BS. With the right care, silver hair is just as cool as its predecessor. Who needs pigment anyway?

  • 1 Transitioning to grey

    Everyone’s least favourite part – growing it out. If you’re not up for cutting your hair short – drastic, but it minimises that “in-between phase” – a clarifying shampoo will help to lighten the intensity of your colour. Add light highlights around the face to give the illusion of fully grey hair.

  • 2 Personalise your shade

    Natural doesn’t necessarily mean giving up colouring all together.  High/lowlights can add dimension, glossing treatments are brightening, and toners allow you to tailor your shade. Use a purple shampoo once a week to preserve your colour, even natural grey can be brassy (annoying, we know).

  • 3 Smooth it out

    Grey hair tends to be coarser and more wiry (life really comes at you fast, doesn't it?) so needs different treatment. Moisture is crucial for smoothing frizz and preventing breakage. Deep-conditioning treatments are your friend, heat-styling is not.
