Although having gray hair is no longer seen as a drama, those who decide to show it off completely look for its best version so that white hair is bright and free of unwanted nuances. But there are also women who, after having their gray hair for a while, consider that they look older than before and decide to put themselves in the hands of experts for advice.
Relying on hair dye every month is something that exhausts many people, but on the other hand, leaving your hair gray is not your best option. Precisely for this reason, the techniques to cover gray hair are more along a line of integration, which does not completely camouflage them, but takes advantage of the clarity of the gray hair to create beautiful reflections.
Nowadays, we want gray hair to look natural, integrated with the rest of the hair and with a smoother appearance. This allows the root growth to not be so obvious and allows visits to the hairdresser to be more spaced out. The hairdresser Víctor del Valle is an expert in gray hair and he, like no one else, works wonderfully with them.
What we like most about Víctor are the great changes he achieves, and this case that we bring you today is one of them. The client arrived with gray hair, completely natural and without a trace of dye, but she wanted to look younger and she put herself directly in her hands. The result, simply impressive, has transformed her hair but also her face, and yes, she has shed many years, especially because she has gained a lot of light thanks to her new blonde hair color.
“What we really did was give it some points of light and cover the gray hair with a glaze, a varnish that will add color, so that it would be a low-maintenance service,” explains Víctor. By working the hair in this way, the luminosity is distributed strategically, to cover the gray hair that is found in different points. The key is to soften and blend, and not try to cover completely.
Opting for this type of techniques helps make the result much more natural, since it does not erase the gray hair, but rather integrates it with a glaze. This consists of performing a soft, low-maintenance color, which is why it is very interesting for those who want to feel freer with their hair and not have to go to the hairdresser every so often to touch up the roots.
Integrate gray hair with glazing and highlights
Nowadays we find many ways to integrate gray hair, among them are spike highlights that at the same time rejuvenate the hair; There are also inverted highlights to avoid the root effect or micro balayage that mixes with gray hair. The work carried out by professionals no longer focuses only on covering gray hair, now they are looking for dimension, luminosity and an elegant effect without flat colors or unnatural results.
To leave aside the traditional dye and soporific maintenance, he explains that “to remove gray hair, a good low-maintenance service is to cover it with a glaze, a varnish that will add color, and give it some points of light,” says the hairdresser.
Specifically, the glaze is like a kind of varnish that provides color and reflections in a light and natural way. Unlike a traditional dye that leaves very flat and saturated results. Precisely, by preventing the roots from becoming so saturated, the transition between new and colored hair is smoother.
