How do you decide to let your hair go GREY?

Cosmetologists and colorists, as a general rule of thumb, advise going gray when 80\% of your hair is white or gray, or when your hair starts feeling increasingly dry and brittle.

Which is the best explanation for why hair turns gray?

Your hair follicles have pigment cells that make melanin, a chemical that gives your hair its color. As you age, these cells start to die. Without pigment, new hair strands grow in lighter and take on various shades of gray, silver, and eventually white.

What do you say when someone says you have GREY hair?

Here Are My Top 12 Ways to Reply to Gray Hair Insults:

1. “You’re too young to be gray!”
2. “You just need ME to color it.” ~Random stylist.
3. “You’ll never get a man.”
4. “You’ll make ME look old!” (usually a parent)
5. “Are you leaving it like that for __________ (insert your special event or theirs)?”

How do you go GREY and not look old?

Camouflage roots. To avoid a contrast between graying roots and dyed hair, add highlights and lowlights (no more than two shades darker, within your natural color family), which will blend gray. Or cover up roots with a temporary concealer, which lasts until you shampoo.

What is a good age to go GREY?

Half of all people have a significant amount of gray hair by the time they turn 50. A white person is considered to be prematurely gray if their hair turns gray by age 20; gray before 30 is early for African-Americans.

Does everyone eventually go grey?

As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray. People can get gray hair at any age. This means that most of us will start having gray hairs around the same age that our parents or grandparents first did.

Is it possible to never go grey?

False. This isn’t necessarily true for everyone, says Sobel. By the time people are in their thirties, most have a few strands of gray hair naturally. While some may continue to gray with each passing year, others may just stall at those few strands of gray for years—or even decades—to come.

How do I stop dying my hair and go grey?

Washing your hair less often (and using silver, blue, or purple shampoo when you do), limiting heat styling, and using a heat protectant like Hairstory Dressed Up Hair Protector will help keep the dye from fading too quickly.
