Most people have at least some grey hairs, and many people start to see them as teenagers, but eventually, there is a point where people have gone grey and need to think about what they are going to do about it, and a hair salon is the perfect first step.
Grey hair is caused by a huge number of factors, not just age. Genetics, diet, overall health and even stress can lead to premature grey hair, as the root cause is the stem cells that regenerate the pigment that gives your hair colour.
When it becomes clear that your hair is greyer than its original colour, something typically easier to see with auburn, brown and red hair, it might be time for a change, and a hairdresser will be able to explore your options, whether that means embracing it, restoring your natural colour or trying something new.
The first option will also involve a stylist, who can make either a gradual or dramatic transition, depending on what you want to do. After all, there are various types of grey, from shimmering silver to white, and some styles benefit from different types of grey.
On the other hand, grey hair can actually make colour treatments easier and potentially cheaper in the long run. A huge part of the process of going blonde or opting for a vibrant colour is using bleach to strip the colour out, something you do not need to do with grey hair.
Grey hair can go any shade, and whilst you need to get the right products designed with grey in mind, there are a lot of options.
One aspect with colour to bear in mind, however, is upkeep. If you have grey hair and dye it a darker colour, the grey roots will show through quicker than you might expect, so if you tend to colour your hair every eight weeks, you may need to touch up your roots every four or five.
