Even A Caveman Isn't Gray - Options For Changing Your Gray Hair Color
Even though gray hair today is not looked on with disfavor
, many people do consider coloring it and want to know what options are available. Coloring gray hair is often employed to enhance your existing hair color or to cover premature graying. Commercial hair coloring kits are widely available and easy to use.
There are also some who endorse the use of natural herbs and oils to help stop or slow graying. Some of the natural items that are said to slow down the process of your gray hair color are: regular application of coconut oil, use of curry leaves either by consuming them in your diet or applying the leaf extract on the scalp with coconut oil, application of extracts of the amaranth vegetable leaf, a mixture of henna and coconut oil is also very good for preventing gray hair. These natural remedies might be very helpful and you should experiment cautiously to see if you have positive results.
There are several options that you can use to change your gray hair color. You can either color your hair permanently or try different shades that suit your personality. There are many color brands that offer affordable packages. You should only buy one after consulting a stylist for tips on the best color that would suit your personality and the nature of your hair.
Hair rinse is a good option if you want to blend your grey hair and not cover them. You have to be extra careful with hair color because it starts flowing if it gets even slightly wet. Hair rinse will bleed so be careful, you may also want to cover hair to protect pillow casings and sheets. Rinses will wash out while shampooing hair. Some brands may take more than one wash but it will start to fade from the first one. Apply after shampooing and then let it dry.
Semi permanent grey hair color usually lasts for about 6-8 weeks. These grey hair color kits come complete with instructions for home use and are easy to use. If you change colors, be sure to give hair some time to allow one color from interfering with another.
If you are going for a permanent hair color be sure of what you are choosing, it should fit your complexion and your personality. Even if you are going for striking colors make sure that it isn't something that you may change your mind about later. If possible, ask the stylist to show you visually how it is going to look. If you want a permanent color but you are not sure of one you can try several temporary shades first.
Too much use of colors and dyes can also damage your hair. It will help if your hair is protected from direct exposure to sun and ultraviolet rays. Too many chemicals can be damaging so even the amount of shampoo or any other chemical products you use should be minimal. Blow dryers and curling irons should be avoided as much as possible to reduce the stress inflicted on the hair.
Changing your grey hair color is simple but to choose the right color that suits you is very important.
