Going Grey After The Pandemic

The pandemic has given me time to truly see myself - without makeup, artificial hair color, or pretense. It has inspired me to embrace my natural grey hair in the winter and play with herbal dyes in the summer. Wearing my hair short allows for an easy grow out of natural plant dyes and frequent changing up of my hair style.

I believe that a great haircut will always out-perform artificial hair color when it comes to style. To me grey hair is just as beautiful as any other color of hair when it is sculpted into a beautiful style that embraces it’s texture and enhances facial features and bone structure. Salt and pepper hair gives natural dimension to hair, making it appear fuller, while patchy grey and white streaks may provide areas of intrigue and versatility in a hairstyle, in very similar ways to artificial highlights. Shorter hair styles show off natural color variations in greying hair. People who embrace their natural hair color with a shorter hair styles enjoy a lower maintenance lifestyle while looking more put together on a regular basis.

When you decide to embrace your grey hair, you may be surprised to discover that it works better with your skin tone than artificial color. Transitioning to your natural color can be a bit scary at first, but I am her to accompany you on the journey, and promise to help you feel beautiful all along the way. Remember your hair doesn’t define you, it is only the frame that surrounds your beautiful face. While your hair may change over time, it’s important to remember that your haircut can either enhance or distract from your natural beauty, it doesn’t define it.

Grey hair often grows in with a slightly different texture than pigmented hair. The change of texture may be a result of shrinkage, loss of elasticity, and dryness that may benefit from treatments, different styling products or a new hair style.
