Using Lowlights To Blend In Gray Hair

Getting gray or white hair is pretty much inevitable for us all. Without contrast, hair color can look flat. Growing out your natural gray into full-on silver is becoming a very trendy move, but it takes a long time and a lot of patience. Visit a salon for hair color in Westchester County, NY, and get some lowlights put in to help during the transition.

A singular grey or white color is often subject to a yellow-ish tinge if left unattended. Adding subtle lowlights can help fight off those unwanted tones. Lowlights bring depth to your hair color and can be the secret sauce for blending in your grays. 

Consider the Shade & Maintenance Level

Shade - If you've highlighted your hair, adding some of your original base tone can provide the most natural-looking contrast. Sections of your hair dyed a few shades darker than your base hair color will add depth and dimension to your overall look.

Consider a Semi-Permanent Color - Semi-permanent colors merely coat the cuticle, which is much less damaging. Gray hair often tends to feel dried out, so using a semi-permanent hair color that doesn't open up the hair shaft or your strands' porosity levels helps. Your hair will feel smoother and be in a much better condition.

Maintenance - Lowlights don't require as many salon visits as highlights do. By choosing a shade that's as close to your base color as possible, your maintenance will be a bit more relaxed.
