Hairdressers reveal mistakes in gray hair coloring: which colors ruin the result.

According to ТСН: Many women strive to mask gray hair to make their hair look groomed and attractive. However, many of them face difficulties in choosing the dye, which sometimes makes the gray even more noticeable after coloring. To avoid this, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of hairdressers when choosing a dye for gray hair. This will help achieve the desired effect.

Which dyes are not suitable for masking gray hair

• Too light shades. Dyes from the cool light palette - platinum, ashy, pearly - poorly cover gray hair. Gray hair lacks pigment, so light dyes simply glide over the hair, leaving it translucent or yellowish.

• Ammonia-free dyes. Ammonia-free formulas are suitable for toning but not for persistent gray coverage. They do not penetrate deeply into the hair structure, causing gray strands to show up after the third wash.

• Bright red and copper colors. Reddish, burgundy, and bright copper shades on gray often look uneven. The hair may be stained in patches or take on an unnatural pink or orange tint.

• Dyes with a cool undertone. Ashy and purple shades without natural pigment can emphasize the gray, making the hair appear dull or dirty.

What professional stylists recommend instead

• Dyes labeled 'for gray hair.'

• Prefer natural or warm shades.

• Mix the chosen color with a natural base (N-series).

• Avoid experiments without prior testing on a separate strand.

The best way to mask gray is with light chestnut, dark blonde, chocolate, and warm blonde shades.

Remember that the right choice of dye and a careful approach to the coloring process can significantly influence the result. It is essential not only to mask the gray but also to maintain the healthy appearance of the hair by trying suitable products and coloring techniques.
