Grey hair is awesome. It’s a sign of experience, confidence, and natural beauty — and it doesn’t have to be hidden or erased. While many assume the only way to manage greys is with permanent colour that fully covers every strand, that’s not the whole story.
The Traditional Route: Permanent Colour
Permanent colour offers full grey coverage by deeply depositing pigment into the hair. This creates a uniform, polished look with no grey showing. But it comes with some trade-offs:
- Regular Touch-Ups: Roots show as new greys grow, so touch-ups every 4–6 weeks are needed to maintain the look.
- High Maintenance: The time, cost, and effort involved in constant colouring isn’t for everyone.
The Blended Alternative: Demi-Permanent Colour & Highlights
Another great option is to embrace your greys with demi-permanent colour and blending techniques. Instead of covering every grey, the colour gently tones and softens them, creating a natural, dimensional look — almost like built-in highlights.
Benefits
- Lower Maintenance: Because it doesn’t fully cover greys, regrowth isn’t as obvious, allowing longer gaps between visits.
- A Beautiful, Natural Look: Greys become part of your style, adding depth and personality rather than hiding who you are.
- Flexible and Adaptable: You can adjust tones over time as your hair and preferences evolve.
Things to Consider
- This method won’t erase all grey, so if you want complete coverage, permanent colour may still be the way to go.
