Looking Great In Grey!



Going grey has never been so hot! Grey hair usually coincides with getting older,ageing,wrinkling and weakening, however in the past year stylists have seen a number of young women asking for the silver locks. Like most trends, it all started in the fashion industry. Models could be seen with grey hair in many variations, from matte to silver grey. Younger style icons like Lady Gaga soon picked up this stand-out look and as it trickled down the pipe of popularity we say more and more shades.
If you have it,embrace it and if you don't here is what you need to know about getting it...

1) Your hair will need to be decolourised, otherwise known as "striped". This means all the colour will be pulled from your hair in order for the proper shade of grey to hold. This is a rather harsh chemical treatment.

2) Your hair will need to be washed with Blue or Purple Shampoo. This is to prevent a yellowish undertone, and keep your greys from tinting.

3) Because this is a harsh process you may require weekly conditioning treatments and regular trims as the process as a while can cause hair to break,tangle and become dry.

All in all, we think it's a great look! But weight out the pros and cons before you choose to go grey!
