Letโs Talk About Going Grey
Ok, so it happens to all of us, the transition to grey hair is a natural part of aging. And guys tend to look even more distinguished as they turn into silver foxes! However, those silver foxes we see usually either have their greys refreshed in the salon or use a product that can clean up the yellow tones that often come with grey hair.ย
In this blog post, we’ll explore how men can use hair colour to enhance their grey hair and achieve that timeless and confident appearance.
Accepting Change
When it comes to aging, there are lots of things we all have to accept. For example, some physical things for many of us are going to get harder and more difficult. If you are a runner, for example, you may slow down a little bit in your times. And you may find that itโs harder to sleepโฆitโs just something that happens to many of us as we age.
When it comes to physical appearance, there are lots of ways that you can slow down or minimise many aging signs. For example, wearing sunscreen can prevent damage from rays, and that in turn can help you lessen the appearance of wrinkles. But when it comes to gray hair, thereโs really not a lot that you might be able to do in order to slow this down. They are essentially always going to be there, but we can disguise them or make grey hair brighter and cleaner using colour product.
Why Does Hair Go Grey?
Our hair goes grey as a natural consequence of the aging process, which primarily involves a decrease in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of our hair, skin, and eyes. Melanin is produced by melanocytes, specialized cells found in the hair follicles. As we age, these melanocytes become less active and eventually stop producing melanin. This leads to a gradual loss of color in the hair, resulting in the emergence of grey or white strands.
Genetics also play a significant role in determining the timing and extent of this process; some people may experience greying earlier than others due to their family history. Additionally, factors like stress, smoking, and nutritional deficiencies may accelerate the greying of hair, but the fundamental cause remains the reduction in melanin production over time.

Violet Shampoo
Grey hair can become yellow due to sunshine, central heating, the ageing process, smoke, wear & tear and heated appliances. ย A violet shampoo will clean up the hair, making it look fresher, brighter, healthier and softer.ย Applied with each wash or now and again, left on for a few minutes it will enhance tones.
We are big fans of Fanola No Yellow Shampoo. This highly pigmented shampoo is affordable and easy to use. Youย can purchase this when you visit the salon
Ask your stylist about the violet shampoo options when you are next in the salon.ย

NATURALISING
We can subtly take your hair back to what it was 5-10 years ago to make you look more youthful. A discrete technique where we can flick your original natural colour through the grey. The aim here is blending, not full coverage. No one will notice this subtle, natural looking change,ย perfect if you want to maintain a natural look.ย
HIGHLIGHTS
As the flecking technique above, but using more lighter tones to lessen the overall grey and add depth and dimension.
COLOUR WASH
We can gently emulsify your natural tone throughout your hair to soften the grey using semi-permanent colour, allowing it to gently fade out. Great for low-maintenance.
BLEACH
Lift the darker tones out of your grey using bleach and achieve that silver fox! We always advise using Olaplex along side this treatment to maintain the health of your hair.ย
ALL OVER COLOUR
Not as frightening as it sounds. Speak to a colourist for a consultation to find a soft natural colour that flatters your skin tone and enhances your hair โ colours can fade or grow out โ we have so many choices. Opt for a root fade for low maintenance and a more natural look.
