The best hair color and techniques to hide gray hair

Things as they are: there is the tendency to clarify the hair when you turn years and the gray hair appears.With the security of this issue, Fran Alemany, Colorist of Art Lab, already revealed the reasons for Vogue.It is: 1) softens the factions, so it rejuvenates and illuminates the face.2) Cana is better hidden during root growth.Now, when the hair begins to show hair without pigment, without melanin, it is not necessary to opt for an intense blond or clarify much more your hair."Sometimes, using a couple of tones clearer that the original is already enough".

But it turns out that, however popular this choice is, it is possible that it does not conform to clarify the entire mane.Because one thing is to accept the change in our hair, an irremediable consequence of the passage of time, and another is to let it transform us.Recall that at 33, most women discover their first gray hair, according to the study of capillary firm Charles Worthington.Thus, a different solution would be "to resort to some softer tone, in the form of a reflection, only in the contours of the face," explains Quique Sánchez, director of spaceq.Or, for example, our hair color could be maintained, but soften the features of the face through the eyebrows.

And finally, as was being seen, it was time to investigate how.How do professions about the gray trees?How can you extend the benefits of a ritual with color?How can one hide them if you are pregnant?We last the doubts with Toñy Albesa, director of Tool Peluquerías.His experience confirms that "Inoa and Inoa supreme coloration without ammonia" is one of the best formulas to end the gray hair because "it has perfect coverage, protecting the skin and treating hair with moisturizing oils and active collagen that provide more flexibility andFill of matter to the hair cano ".

The most used techniques

"The important thing is to customize the treatment of Cana," explains Toñy Albesa."There are different ways to hide them according to needs.Each client is unique! ".Thus, he points out that among the techniques they use are:

1. 

   Conventional brush application: allows great skill, especially to retouch the root.It is also known with the term Balayage.

2. With spatula: it is chosen when you want to modify all the color of the hair.

3. With illuminations: it is perfect to get a Californian hair.

4. With veils: used, above all, for babylight wicks.Pigment your hair, from the root to the tip, almost imperceptibly, so it offers a very natural result.

5. Bicolor: It consists of clarifying the front (roots and half tips) leaving the tips and the inside of the darkest hair.

A trick for which the hair color lasts more

"The day of color treatment, a specific sealing, hydration and brightness in the living room should be included," says Tool director Hairdressers.But, in addition, it is "very important maintenance at home with specific antioxidant product" product ".Among its proposals are the Chromatique, Kérastase, and luster, shu uemura line."They are the cosmetics with which we work and are the ones we recommend to our clients".

Natural coloration techniques

While traditional coloration can be harmful to long -term hair fiber -in addition to more polluting for the environment -, more and more new ways arise to dye gray hair betting on products of natural origin.These are the most innovative techniques in an organic range:

1. Barros and Hennas: they function as a makeup that hides the gray hair and provides reflexes, although they have lower coverage (they cover between 30-40% of gray hair).

2. Color baths: the above cover more, around 70% of gray hair, but do not allow such a worked and luminous effect as that of traditional Balayage.

3. Mineral and natural coloration: it is one of the most successful in the natural color field, since it allows results very similar to those of a traditional balance.The only disadvantage is that it does not allow the base to be clarified, so you will not be able to wear lighter dyes than your natural color.

Products to enhance gray hair

More and more women are, instead of hiding their gray hair, they decide to enhance and claim them.They stop resorting to color and, instead, they leave white or natural hair, but using products that enhance their brightness so that the hair is still beautiful and healthy.To do this, the best option is to opt for a violet or blue shampoo, which neutralizes yellow reflexes that this type of hair usually acquires.Some of the preferred ones of the hairdressers are the Blue Malva shampoo, from Aveda and Silver Blond by Wella.Another option is to use products with a pearly pigment, such as Sebastian Professional Clear color treatment;or opt for the benefits of nutrichetic, which improves the appearance of hair from the inside.

If you prefer to hide them without resorting to traditional color, there are new techniques that allow you to do it easily without leaving home.It is the case of the last launch of Redenhair, its hair redensifier, a system of capillary fibers composed of dust microparticles with keratin that adhere to the hair, helping to cover it, hide the gray areas and cover the clear areas with a natural formula with a natural formula.

New tendencies

As we said, the last trend - and the one that promises to have arrived to stay - is to bet on naturalness, either opting for a coloration that starts from your natural tone or directly wearing your gray hair without complexes.In fact, according to a Pantene study, 53% of women believe that hair with gray hair is a sign of identity and style.

And if you are pregnant...

"It is not demonstrated that or not it is harmful to dye the mane.But before any questions, it can be applied with a spatula without touching the skin of the scalp, "says Toñy Albesa."It is possible that coverage is not 100%, but it is preferable to being with concern.Another option is to use a color bath, also without ammonia ".Although, remember that the latter would have to be repeated more frequently, "since the coverage is 70% to 90%".
