When we think of our anti-aging regimen, our thoughts rarely turn to skin care. We were touched retinol knowledge and other anti-aging remedies, but our thoughts rarely go to hair. Sure, we think about keeping our gray hair (or covering it up) and getting regular trims, but the biggest anti-aging secret is all about color. This article will introduce hair colors that age you and gracefully guide you to a youthful hair color.
Revive growth and hair colors that age you
Let’s start with growth again. Many women have discovered how many grays they really have, or perhaps they are embracing their natural color.
For white/gray regrowth, I suggest matching the old color to your mid-length hair and ends as close to your natural color as possible. This means removing the dark tones. Use a trusted professional for this. For example, if you use brown tones to cover up grays, you may end up looking orange when exposed. And in some cases of ash brown, you will turn green. The principle here is to remove the old color from the mid-lengths and ends and erase the growth line by adding lowlights and/or highlights to create a harmonious connection. It’s complicated, I know; that’s why you need a professional colorist with talent and experience.
I would also suggest a shorter haircut during this procedure, which will help remove the old color even faster.
Professional guidance
Speaking of trusted professionals, we turned to a styling and coloring guru Johnny Rodriguez for his advice and opinions on products to use. As for age group-based brands, he told us:Make fun of or Name: for gray coverage for more mature customers. Dia Color: & Dia Light: designed for younger customers who use modern technology because it is less commitment with incremental growth. All give exceptional shine. Younger clients tend to change their color and prefer multiple techniques: balayage, foiling, color melting, and more, so semi-permanent is more versatile for clients who change color styles more often. All are conditioners that allow less damage or damage to the hair.”
How to grow a lighter shade on brunette roots
Growing out a lighter shade at the roots of the brunette is pretty easy, and adding back color pigment to the mid-lengths and ends is pretty easy too.
Youth restoration for blondes
When you embrace your natural white or gray hair, we’ve found it’s easiest for women who’ve dyed their hair blonde. To keep the transition youthful, apply highlights (or even some lowlights around the root area) to create a youthful regrowth effect. Blonde just blends in with white hair. Thus, all kinds of shades can be placed with an imaginative palette to give the overall surface a youthful glow.
How to maintain youthful vitality with red hair
Natural redheads tend to lose their vibrancy as they age. To avoid an overly bright hair color that makes you look older, avoid strong shades and tone down the red with a strawberry blonde shade. It still resonates with your natural hair color, but in a soft, flattering way.
The biggest hair coloring mistake you can make
The biggest mistake you can make with your hair is going too dark. That brunette shade of your 20s? Don’t do it. Nothing is more aging for any mature woman than a hair color that is obviously too dark. What we need to remember is that there must be a connection between the color of the eyebrows, eyelashes and hair for it to work.
Our skin tones often fade as we age and require a softer tone to be flattered. Add some milk chocolate to the dark chocolate base for an attractive (not hard) approach.
Hair colors that can make you look younger
- Caramel highlightsFor those with dark hair, this is a simple way to soften and lighten your look.
- Rose pinkIf you are adventurous, this look can make you look quite young. Pink is a young, fun color that will make you look young when done right.
- Bronde or Broomstick BlondeA dark base is brightened by warm blonde highlights. Again, this can soften your face and help you look younger.
- Soft blackBlack hair can start to look a little harsh as we age. Adding a slightly brighter black will create a brighter look.
Hair colors that age you
- Bleach Blonde: Do not wash; use a more natural color mix. Plus, bleaching all your hair damages it and automatically makes it look older.
- Yellow GreyThere’s no need to completely cover up gray, especially since it’s become so popular. But depending on how it looks, you might need to add some gray highlights to make it look better.
Invest in proper home care
The most important aspect of coloring or even not coloring your hair as you age is taking care of your strands. More often than not, white and gray hair grow in a different, tighter texture that resembles coarse, almost stringy strands, so it’s vital to keep that hair moisturized. We recommend it Oribe Silverati shampoo, which is brilliant on gray hair. If you have a yellow tinge to your grays caused by medication, heated tools, or even some city water supplies, the white hair will be bleached by the added chemicals used to purify the water, this shampoo will usually remove it from the first use.
Then follow up Olaplex no. 5P Blonde Enhancer Purple Toning Conditioner. This product works to repair instantly when applied. It gives soft, luxurious, shiny hair from the first use.
Color safe shampoo
Shampoo should be sulfate free + paraben + silicon free and have a PH of 5.5 to 6.5 for healthy hair and scalp. It the right shampoo is a colorist’s best friend as it heals over the porous layers that can cause uneven color in your locks.
Color safe conditioner
The perfect PH to look for is between 4.0 and 5.0. This conditioner protects your hair by sealing the hair cuticle without leaving any residue such as keratin, protein or silicon on the shaft. That means healthy, improved hair that isn’t weighed down.
Color safe protective serums
The right serum, how? Color Maintain Silver serum, will protect your hair from hot tools and discoloration. For example, red tones will fade immediately when heat is applied to them, so a quality serum is a must. Be sure to look for UV protection in your serum as well; applying a small amount each day will reduce pallor.
