Dyeing your hair gray - it's been the hot trend in hair styling since spring 2015 and different shades of silver, rose gold, violet and green still prevail today.
Yes, it is a long journey to achieve the desired tint. The hair is not simply tinted, as with brown, red or black. First you need hair that is as light as possible or bleached. The right color should then be found and regular care should follow.
When bleaching, you should only rely on the experienced hands of a professional. Professional products are needed and it takes a while to ultimately get an even blonde result, which is the best basis for the desired gray hair color. When bleaching, it is important to know that the hair becomes brittle, loses its shine and healthy appearance. Afterwards, regular care with sustainable rebuilding products is desired so that it looks good again and not worn out.
Prices for the procedure start from 60 euros. With a good hairdresser you could expect to pay €100-200 - for bleaching (possibly several times depending on the color of your hair) and tinting. There are also additional costs for the hair care products afterwards.
For the subsequent coloring in the desired shade, you should first pay attention to the initial color. The brighter it is, the more beautiful and intense the result will be. The ideal condition is to have hair that is as light as possible in order to get the perfect result.Blonde maneColoring it gray is relatively easy. Coloring dark shades gray is really very difficult. If you have black hair and achieve a gray tone, you could end up with a yellowish-green shade. You should also not forget that different hair structures absorb the pigments differently and retain them for different lengths of time.
After bleaching, the mane is treated as usual and colored in the desired shade. But you should know in advance and be prepared that some of the color will be lost after every shampooing.
The third step takes the longest and is usually the most complicated. The mane no longer needs care as before to keep it healthy, but also to help it retain its color for as long as possible. Products that build up the hair structure, strengthen it, make it thicker and give it shine are needed because it has been heavily chemically treated. You should try out different brands until you can determine from your own experience what works really well and what doesn't.
As a conclusion, you can get acquainted with the nickname of the artificially achieved gray hair color - “weekend color” - translated as weekend color. As the name suggests, it really doesn't last long.
