It’s a silver revolution
It’s a silver revolution in the hair world today and we are loving the trend. Worn well grey hair can be sophisticated, fun, sexy and very much on trend. Gone are the days where grey hair is synonymous with old age. Some people may be under the impression that there is certain length or style that women with grey hair need to stay within. We believe that is the farthest from the truth. Grey hair is beautiful and you can wear it any length from a fun pixie to long luscious locks. With celebrities like Andie McDowell, Helen Mirren, and Jamie Lee Curtis ( just to mention a few) rocking different variations of grey there is no shortage of grey hair inspiration out there. What ever you personal style there is a haircut that will make your grey hair right on point! More and more clients are joining the silver revolution and opting to embrace their silver strands. That being said there are some special considerations to be aware of for keeping your grey hair healthy and looking fabulous.
Why grey hair needs special care.
When caring for natural grey hair it is important to treat the hair from the inside out. Grey hair is different than pigmented hair and can feel quite dry and brittle. This is because as we age the sebaceous gland (which is attached to the hair follicle) begin to secret less oil than before so the hair is dryer. Generally the hair gets finer as we age and the cuticle layer actually gets thicker which lends to the frizzy stiffer appearance of grey hair. In addition, grey hair produces less or no pigment so the shine decreases and the hair can appear quite dull. Fortunately there is no need to fear! There are some amazing hair products that work wonders on unruly grey hair. We recommend using a shampoo and conditioner that help keep your hair manageable smooth and strong. The Keratin smooth line from Keune is an excellent remedy. It consist of a shampoo and daily conditioner as well as a once a week mask to give the hair the extra moisture and protein it needs. The Keratin defrizz Serum keeps the hair frizz free while not weighing the hair down. The Keune line has many options to customize a routine best suited to your individual hair needs. You can always book a consultation and we can go over the different options available.
Not everyone will end up 100% grey.
We often hear people asking, “when will I be white?” Well, chances are that you will be similar to your parents. Genetics plays a large roll in how early and how salt and pepper you will be.
If by any chance you are feeling that your grey could be a bit brighter or has a bit of a yellow tone there are a few options for you to consider. Keune silver saviour shampoo and conditioner is a fabulous way to tone the unwanted yellow out of white hair. Once week is usually all you need to keep your hair shiny and bright.
There is also in-salon treatments that can enhance your silver locks. There is a grey blending technique using foil that can either make your hair more salt if you like your hair lighter or more pepper if you like more depth.
We also offer glosses and glazes to give your hair a glossy healthy shine. We can either use a clear base or add some tone to it if you want to warm up or cool down your grey hair.
There are so many options to make your grey hair healthy and stylish! Embrace the grey and take care of your silvery streaks. Join the silver hair revolution and wear your hair with pride! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, consultations are always free!
Yours in good hair,
