What is the best low-maintenance way to hide grey hair?

Share

Hello,

I have medium brown hair, but I am starting to notice several grey hairs coming through, especially if I put my hair in a half-up style.

My hair is thin and long and breaks easily. What would be the best way to camouflage the greys and is also low maintenance?

Thank you,

Hello there in South Africa,

I researched a special shampoo for you that will help add volume to your fine hair - here is the website: http://www.philipkingsley.co.uk/fine-textured-hair/philip-kingsley-body-building-shampoo.html

Regarding your white hair, which has started to to annoy you, I would recommend a semi-permanent colour to start with matching your own hair colour. Once your white comes through more it will be better to apply a permanent tint.

However, you must go to a reputable hairdressing salon in your area that knows about colour and has the passion to look after your fine hair. I know millions of women who have fine hair and love it long, but the true fact is the longer the hair the more pulling, encouraging split ends.

May I suggest you ask your stylist to cut your hair into a fashionable short bob, there are many types of bob to suit different face shapes and fine hair. The new bob fashions are inspired by the new Great Gatsby film. Have a look at some of the styles worn in that film as well as browse the internet to find your perfect style.

I send you my warmest regards from the UK,

The best option to camouflage your first greys and to boost shine and volume in your hair is to go for a long lasting semi-permanent colour. Using a shade that matches your natural colour will ensure it looks subtle but will boost the lustre of your locks no end!

I would opt for DiaRichesse by L'Oreal Professionnel. Applied by a hair colourist your hair will look fantastic.
