Grey Blending Highlights: A New Way To Transition Grey Hair

Are you looking for a color technique that is low-maintenance, effortlessly beautiful, and will allow you to transition into embracing your grey hair? Look no further than grey blending highlights.

Grey blending adds dimension and depth to your hair, which can also help with making thinner hair look thicker. Going grey isn’t the only thing you is going through when it comes to aging. Our hair begins to thin as we get older, fortunately the grey blending beauty trend can give thinning hair a volumizing boost with the illusion of movement. One-dimensional hair colors can often make hair look flat or dull. Depth and dimension can be achieved with the grey blending technique and can give our hair the illusion of fullness.

The art of grey blending is a great way to embrace the natural change and transition to mostly or fully grey hair. Grey blending will let you keep your natural hair color while still enhancing it and welcome any incoming silver strands. Typical color services at the salon often work to cover up natural hair color or grey hairs, but with grey blending it works to actually incorporate the grey tones into your look. The transitional look between the incoming grey hair color with your original hair color can provide a new, natural look. Grey blending does not require too much upkeep, which makes it an effortless look instead of covering up your grey hair entirely.

Going grey can be made easier and more stylish with blending. It provides a natural, stylish look instead of the patches of greys some may experience. Grey blending is ideal for those that have about 25 percent grey hair coverage. There needs to be enough of natural grey coming in to blend into the original hair color. Are you ready to start your transition?

If you have decided that grey blending is right for you, you’ll want to ensure your hair care routine keep up! Using color-safe products will prolong their longevity for your new salon-treated hair. Color-safe means that a product can do what it’s intended to without pulling out the color of your treated hair. Keep in mind that not all products are color-safe. Grey hair can become yellow and brassy, so purple shampoo and conditioners are a great way to offset that and give more shine to the hair. (Purple is the opposite color of yellow in the color-wheel).

If you start to notice that your grey or white hair is becoming yellow or brassy, we have a fix for that. Redken’s Blondage or Kerastase’s Blond Absolu line can calm those unwanted, brassy tones and give you that sleek and cool silver look.
