Sometimes, the best grey hair treatment is the style you choose to show off your locks. Coloring grey hair at home can result in a flat, monotone look, grown-out roots and other little problems that make your hair look unhealthy and unmanageable. Whether or not you’re using grey hair dye to cover up your new natural color, what you need is a great style and healthy hair.

All shades of grey hair color
“There is only one cure for grey hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine.” -P.G. Wodehouse
Constant grey hair treatments are exhausting for you and for your locks, but don’t let that make you neglect your style. All the grey hair dye in the word can’t hide a lackluster style. But not matter how great or expensive the haircut, your style can look terrible if your hair is unhealthy.
- Shampoo for grey hair. You can’t keep using the same shampoo that worked for you when you were 30. Once your hair starts to go grey naturally, it’s prone to picking up strange tints from atmospheric conditions like cigarette smoke, smog, pollution, chlorine and everything else you’ll face in the big, wide world. Use a blue-toned shampoo for grey hair that’s made for natural grey locks to strip this discoloration away and keep your natural silver and grey shining beautifully.
- Grey hair dye. If you use grey hair dye to cover your grey, you’ve got to use color-safe shampoos that are specially formatted for dyed locks. Ordinary shampoo is too harsh or dyed hair, and will strip your color away quicker.
- Coloring grey hair. If you’ve decided to go grey naturally and let your color shine, you may think you don’t need to worry about grey hair dye in any capacity. But natural grey hair color doesn’t always come in looking beautiful. Visit a salon to have highlights and lowlights added to grey hair color to give it more depth and life. This will help you avoid that monochrome look that makes grey hair color look dull, flat and boring. Unless you’re very experienced with dyeing your hair, it’s not a great idea to add these highlights and lowlights because it can be a delicate, tedious process.

Great grey hair style
Grey hair color is in, and it can be very sexy. Once you’ve got your color looking fabulous and your hair is healthy, you’ve got to focus on getting a great style. Get a haircut that’s flattering to your face and helps you make the most out of your hair’s natural characteristics. Thin and fine hair should be cut with layers to make it look fuller and avoid that flat, listless looks that fine locks get. Thick hair can be cut with feathered ends that create an attractive, lightweight fringe. This will keep thick locks from looking very heavy and bulky.
Don’t know where to start with your style? Look to actresses who have hair color, hair texture and bone structure similar to yours to get ideas about styles you can try. If you have cowlicks and other hair issues, it may prevent you from mimicking the celebrity styles you like. Always keep an open mind, and don’t be afraid to be daring. Sometimes, the secret to a great style is simply changing it up whenever you get the urge. Get your hair trimmed regularly to maintain your style and prevent split ends that make your hair look ragged and unkempt.
