White hairs hidden by a balayage
One white hair spotted looking at you in the mirror and it’s disaster? Don’t worry, there are many options to feel beautiful and confident despite the appearance of this unwanted hair!
Where did the white hair come from?
According to various studies, the average age of onset of the first gray hair is 35 years, but it can also appear much earlier. It is a natural evolution of hair aging.
Melanin gradually disappears as well as the pigmentation that colours your hair. The appearance of white hair is not due to stress, as is often heard. Triggering factors can be heredity, poor lifestyle, smoking, emotional shock, etc.
Why don’t we just rip them off
It’s the first reflex that comes to mind, but pulling out your first white hair is a capillary aggression: it may grow back thicker, disrupt the renewal cycle and damage your scalp. Don’t stress! The first thing to do is to ask your hairdresser for advice.
Two tips to avoid hair dying
Hair Mascara
You cheat a little, but mascara is the perfect product to make up the hair. Apply it on the strands of hair to reveal white hair. Choose a color close to your own for a natural result.
Beware, mascara is a temporary solution, it fades with shampoo. An incorrect application can also leave imperfections in the hair.
The colored spray
Fast and efficient. You use it like dry shampoo, just a few centimeters from the desired area. The spray camouflages your white hair in seconds. Practical every day, it can be used anywhere and anytime.
Hair Dying : the miracle solution?
Permanent hair colouring is an effective solution to eliminate your gray hair. But take some time to think about it.
This solution is suitable when you have 50% of your hair gray. Other techniques exist to reduce gray hair and to sublimate your hair.
The balayage
Opt for balayage, a discreet colouring technique that consists of colouring fine strands.
It blends in perfectly with the natural base and boosts the hair’s highlights. For care, the ideal is two to three times a year, to preserve highlights.
Tone on tone (toner) or semi-permanent colouring
Without ammonia, it has a low oxidizing power. Less restrictive than permanent colouring, it gives your hair a radiant and intense look.
Choose a colour close to yours and the natural effect will be there. Tone on tone colouring covers up to 50% of your white hair. However, it fades after six to eight weeks.
