Fortunately, gray hair is accepted more naturally every day . During the confinement, we witnessed how many of our famous references were shown without filters before the cameras, making us see that they are also mortal and that, without going through the hairdresser, their hair is the same as everyone else's.
There are different ways to react to the appearance of gray hair. While actresses like Salma Hayek decide to show them off, others prefer to disguise them, either with strategic hairstyles or key haircuts.
The idea is that you do what you really want, that would be more! But if your hair is dark and gray and you want to lighten it and hide the gray hair - warm brown and blonde tones are always a perfect option - take note because you can do several things.
From the hand of María Baras , artistic director of Salón Cheska, we tell you the 3 best alternatives that you can make in your hair. Shall we start?
Natural mud
It is a natural option , which gives the hair a pigment, creating the effect of natural reflections. If your hair tends to be oily, natural mud is highly recommended for cleaning, cleansing and detaching the hair from the scalp, leaving a small shade on the gray.
"It can be a perfect option for the first gray hairs," explains María. "It gives a lot of shine to the hair and is one hundred percent natural, we get them from plants such as henna, cassia, indigo … They are joined and mixed to achieve different tones: more golden, copper, chocolate ..
Babylights
The babylights are a sure hit, always. In addition, they have other derived wicks such as gold twilightning (combined with ombré) or coffee bean highlights, which give many possibilities when choosing. "Taking advantage of the gray hair you can make it in your own tone, the covers and you forget, because it can be done every 3 or 4 months", says the expert.
However, you can also try a combination of two tones : a darker one covering the gray hair, and another more chocolate or honey to give a little light: "It is true that gray hair on a dark black base looks a lot, but on marbled hair it's more camouflaged. Plus, it wears three-dimensional hair a lot. "
If you are used to dark hair , very black, and you want to see other tones, light or shine, it is a great option, because it is not the classic dye that you have to do every two weeks, but it is a type of coloring that you can carry out twice a year . "It is covering gray hair and putting a little shine, then it is a little degraded and Californian," says María.
The same color
If what you are looking for is that the gray hair has the exact same color as the rest of the hair, you can cover it with an oil or a color bath (it does not have to be a dye). Here you have several options: "If there are few gray hairs, you can do a little more sautéing and apply in a more artistic way, only on the gray hair," says the director of Cheska. "If not, it can be done full, like a bathroom itself, all in the same color. Depending on the growth of the hair, it will be more or less noticeable," she says.
The latter is the most traditional option but the one that forces you to go to the salon more often to camouflage gray hair again, because when your hair grows you see a dividing line, which does not happen in the previous cases.
Either way, you can get a result of ten . You choose!
