Hair trends for 2023 are all about embracing YOU. Natural curls, movement, and tones are in and not going anywhere.
At the center of these trends? Grey Blending.
Grey Blending is hair color that combines highlights/lowlights and other techniques such as balayage or baby lights to mimic your natural grey patterns for a seamless grow out.
This can be used to transition from professional hair color to natural grey. Grey blending can also continue with the use of a demi-perment touchup or root tap to camouflage the intensity of your grey regrowth between salon visits. The point of grey blending hair color is to weave your natural hair color into your desired hair color for the best balance of longer maintenance schedules, healthier hair strands, and a more textured and lived in look.
First lets talk about your options so you know what method for dealing with your grey hair is right for you
1 You can cover it. If you want 100% opaque grey coverage then you definitely still want a color touch up every 4-6 weeks to keep those grays away. You are also in this category if you want your hair color to be lighter or brighter than your natural hair color. With an easy pre-booked maintenance schedule and the use of new 10 minute hair color lines, this can be a quick solution to keep your hair looking fresh, shiny, and just the way you like it!
2 You can blend it. If you are looking for your natural level hair color or darker, and are ok with seeing some parts of your grey hair, blending could be for you. This option does give you the freedom of longer maintenance schedules (closer to 8-10 weeks) and a blurred line of regrowth, but it is a step towards embracing your grey hair and you have to be ready to do that.
3 You can rock it. Grey hair comes in all different shades and patterns and we are seeing more and more people rockin their grey hair! Some unexpected maintenance with your new grey hair might be conditioning treatments for moisture and tinted treatments to keep it sparkly and silver but that can be maintained on an as needed basis for tone correction and softness.
