Nowadays, gray hair is no longer as reviled as it was years ago, it is now seen with different eyes and many women even decide to leave dyes behind and show them off without fear. It is true that gray hair can give a lot of personality and transmit another type of beauty, but yes, they have to look cared for. Because gray hair is a hair that requires more hydration, shine and control of the yellowish tone.
Therefore, although showing off gray hair is a real liberation with dyes, they also require specific care so that they look beautiful and without a sloppy effect. One of the best ways to show off gray or white hair is to opt for a personalized haircut that provides movement, makes it more manageable and gives it a stylish shape.
The bob haircut is one of the most interesting for gray hair, as are many medium-length haircuts, especially those that have layers and strategic parades. According to the statements of hairdresser Alberto Cerdán, to the publication Clara, the haircuts that most favor gray hair are “precise and well-structured cuts such as bobs, pixies or polished manes. Gray hair needs a very well-crafted cut to reflect sophistication and care,” says the expert.
The hairdresser has also highlighted the importance of carrying out specific care that helps keep gray hair hydrated and flexible. This type of hair “by losing melanin also decreases the production of natural sebum. This causes the hair fiber to be more porous and rigid,” highlights Cerdán.
In this sense, the expert recommends using at home “products specifically formulated for white or gray hair, which hydrate and neutralize unwanted tones. The LuxeBlond line from System Professional is ideal, as it repairs the fiber, provides softness and keeps the color clean and bright,” adds Alberto.
Another basic product for gray hair is to incorporate a violet or toning shampoo. For the color to look beautiful, bright and cared for, it is essential to avoid unwanted tones. According to Cerdán, using it once a week is enough, and he recommends LuxeBlond's violet shampoo that neutralizes the yellowish tone without drying out. Although for best results “always combined with a moisturizing treatment,” comments the hairdresser.
Furthermore, if there is something that is very fashionable today, beyond showing off gray hair completely naturally, it is their integration. The best techniques for this purpose that Alberto recommends are “techniques such as cold babylights, soft balayage or gray blending, combined with specific products such as System Professional LuxeBlond, which help maintain the cold tone and healthy hair,” he concludes.
