Trim strategically.
A lot of women get to a certain length of re-growth and then cut their hair to speed up the process. This allows you to slowly ease into gray without a lot of drama or obvious lines of color demarcation where the old and the new meet.
Highlight along the way.
VN member nellie says, “My hair dresser suggested growing out the color as much as I could stand, then having highlights put in and getting as short of a cut as I could tolerate. It took about a year to completely rid myself of the colored hair. I have never looked back! I get lots and lots of compliments – at least twice a week, from both men and women!”
Invest in a great haircut.
Once you’ve made your transition to gray, invest in the services of a talented stylist to make sure your haircut flatters your face. As VN blogger Tamara2 says, “The right haircut can make all the difference between looking sharp and looking frumpy!”
Condition to keep your hair soft.
Some women fear that that as their hair turns gray, it will become coarse in texture. This is not necessarily the case, but why take chances? VN blogger Jaki – fiftyfab.com keeps her hair soft by using a high quality conditioner at home. She also recommends a deep conditioning treatment either at home or at the salon every few months.
To fight dryness, VN member Carol Scooter has cut back on frequency of shampoos. Instead, she brushes her gray hair more often. Result: “The natural oils have come along and made it smooth, shiny, and full of body!”
