50 Shades of Gray: How to Handle Regrowth

You may have been dying your hair for the last twenty years or suddenly are seeing gray roots, but either way you want to cover the gray hair regrowth and keep it natural-looking. We have all heard about people tweezing or plucking any gray hair they see, but that is not necessary. In fact, when these hairs you have pulled come back, they may stick straight up becoming even more obvious.

There are a few ways you can handle regrowth. You can have a whole new shade of color for your whole head of hair, or you can focus on the roots and random gray hairs that are suddenly appearing. Whether you have blonde, black, red or brown hair, there are options for you to handle your gray hair regrowth. These options include:

  • Low Maintenance: If you are tired of gray hair, but you don’t want to commit to a new hair color, you can try highlights so the gray blends and roots won’t be as noticeable. Lowlights are another alternative that adds your natural color back in and blends the gray so they will be less noticeable. There will be gray hairs, but not as many. This is great if you only want to visit the salon every six weeks or so.
  • Medium Maintenance: Demi permanent color is the best option for you if you don’t feel quite ready to commit to a whole new color. It blends the gray, covering it and provides color that will last from four to six weeks. When it fades, it doesn’t leave regrowth lines and this type of hair color is very gentle on hair because it is ammonia-free and leaves your hair in a healthy condition.
  • High Maintenance: If you want to fully commit to getting rid of the gray, you will want to look at permanent color. The style experts at Salon Helena in Albuquerque can provide hair color that will look so natural and cover every piece of gray hair on your head that no one will notice. We can even color your eyebrows to match. We recommend doing this color service with a highlight to add dimension and minimize the line of the new root and the previously colored hair. This requires maintenance every four to six weeks.

No matter the option you choose, Salon Helena in Albuquerque, New Mexico can help you with your hair needs. We have expert colorists that can provide the color, cut and style you want so you can embrace the gray or cover it and look fabulous at the same time.
