How Often Will I Need to Touch Up Grey Coverage?
This all depends on the level of grey you’re dealing with and how fast your hair tends to grow, but as a rule of thumb, we recommend touch-up color appointments every 6-8 weeks.
What Color Cancels Out Grey Hair?
You can use any color to cover grey hair, from copper reds to golden blonde tones, but if soft regrowth is your goal, consider working a shade that’s similar in tone to silver hair. Cooler, lighter shades, like an ash or mushroom blonde, will blend easily with greys, so when your roots grow through, the patches of grey won’t stand out as much.
Can You Reverse Grey Hair?
No, you can’t reverse grey or white hair. Once the greying process starts, it can’t be stopped due to changes happening deep within your hair follicles. As hair follicles age, melanocyte stem cells – also known as melanin-producing cells – start to decline, causing your hair to lose its pigment and turn white. You can’t revive or replace these melanin-producing cells, meaning silver strands will always grow silver. Your solution is to embrace the change or embrace hair color.
How Can I Permanently Remove Grey Hair?
There’s no permanent way of removing grey hair. Once melanin production has dropped, white strands will always grow through with a grey tint, even if you pluck them (which is not recommended).
How Should I Care for Hair After Getting Rid of Greys?
Regular touch-ups are key to maintaining grey hair coverage, so don’t forget to book in regular appointments every 6-8 weeks. Then, in between, work on building up hair health, so your color-treated hair appears rich and glossy. These are the salon-approved steps our pros recommend:
Nourish with a Color-Safe Shampoo
Choose one that’s delivers deep nourishment from root to tip. That work gentle, luxurious lather rinses away pollutants and impurities, so you’re left with clean hair that’s never stripped. Just fresh, balanced and ready for the next nourishing steps.
Treat Lengths to Deep Conditioner
Conditioners and hair masks are healthy hair essentials that restore the moisture we lose over time, so reach for rich, creamy formulas that offer intense nourishment.
Repair Hair Damage.
As we enjoy the privilege of getting older, our hair becomes drier and more vulnerable to damage. So, repair it with a leave-in treatment that promises deep repair.
