Gray hair can come in many different shades, some darker and some lighter. Regardless of the tone chosen, the challenge will certainly be to maintain the color.

The tip is not to wash your hair every day, keeping the routine every other day. It is also important to use shampoo and conditioner that are suitable for dyed hair, as the chemical is milder in them and does not remove the dye as easily.

Despite all these precautions, gray hair can be an ungrateful color. As it is a gloss bath, the fixation is weak, that is, it fades very quickly and the maintenance can be fortnightly. For those who go to the beach and pool, the durability may be even smaller.

Although it fades quickly, it is common for gray hair to have a more closed color when dyed and will open up as you wash it. This means that even when the color starts to fade, it will still look beautiful and stylish.

When platinum at home, the color may turn out to be leaden, quite different from what you want. It turns out that this lead color is also wonderful, which has made many women look for graphite gray hair.

Those who dream of light gray platinum hair cannot escape discolorations. The hair needs to be in a very light shade of yellow, almost white for the dye to take evenly. The amount of bleaching will depend on the natural color of your hair, if it is a medium blonde one bleaching may be enough. For those with black hair, it may be necessary to bleach it up to 3 times.

We know that when we start changing the look, anxiety hits hard and the will is to see the final result quickly. However, in order to discolor several times, it is necessary to give a break of one week between one and the other and take care in the hydrations in those intervals. The hair becomes fragile and there is no point in having the color of dreams in damaged strands, right?

How to Leave Gray Hair: Step by Step

It is not necessary to spend tons of money to get gray hair done in a beauty salon. Of course, it is always better to count on the support of a qualified professional to guarantee the results, but due to lack of time and money, this is often not possible. The good news is that gray hair can be done at home without much difficulty. Let's learn how to leave the highlights with this stylish color?

The first step is to analyze your hair color. Obligatorily to make gray hair it is necessary to discolor the locks, unless your hair is naturally a very light blonde. There's no point in being stubborn, it doesn't work on dark hair without discoloration.
Discoloration is not a seven-headed bug. Using hydrogen peroxide and good quality bleaching powder you can open up to 8 shades in the first bleaching. If it is necessary to discolor again, allow a period of one week.
With the bleached locks it's time to start the process to make the hair gray. Wash your hair only with shampoo to keep the scales open.
Apply the product and leave for the time indicated on the package. We recommend that you use a gray or silver gloss bath, there are several quality brands on the market to choose from. The shine bath does not have ammonia and therefore will not damage the wires.
You can apply it all over your hair, including the non-bleached parts. As it does not have ammonia, the product will not lighten the hair, just make it more hydrated.
Remember that the glitter bath yields little. For shoulder length hair it may be necessary to use a tube and a half of product. For waist-length hair, two tubes are needed.
After following the instructions, wash your hair and style as usual.
It is normal for the gray tone to open from the first wash, it may be that in the first application it will have a bluish tone.
Now let's talk a little bit about maintenance. Gray hair can be wonderful, but it doesn't last long. The color fades quickly and this requires bi-weekly maintenance. Reapply the product every fortnight and don't be afraid, as most products also work as hydration.
Easier than you thought, right?
