Tired of trying to cover up your white hair? Why not go for the colour snow? The results might surprise you! Find out our tips for embracing your silver hair.

Think about the health of your hair

As we all know, cosmetics are full of preservatives and chemicals that can ultimately damage the scalp. Think about the health of your hair and stop the monthly dyes that turn your pretty curls into horsehair! You'll see, your mane will thank you! After all, it's better to be beautiful and trendy with radiant white hair than with a bag of straw on your head, isn't it?

Think about the look

White is all the rage these days! With the right cut, your hair could well put you in the spotlight! Choose a short, modern cut (above the shoulders) such as a plunging bob, a layered style or a tomboy cut. Embrace your new look and regain your self-confidence with your true pigments! But don't forget to look after your haircut - you don't want to look unkempt!

Think aesthetics

As we age, our skin texture tends to change. That's right! You don't have the same complexion as when you were twenty. This means that your brown, red or violet colours no longer suit you in the same way as they did ten years ago. Generally speaking, the older we get, the more light colours enhance and soften our features. As you can see, from a certain age onwards, white hair looks better than other colours! Brighten up your beautiful face by letting your hair lighten!

Take your time

It can be complicated to take on grey hair overnight. You've been a brunette, redhead or blonde all your life, so this change of colour takes some getting used to. Take it easy and lighten your colouring over the years. For example, go from brunette to blonde before taking the plunge! That way, you won't get a shock when you see your new shade!

Take care of your new colour!

Grey hair requires just as much care as traditional colouring. Don't give up just because you've stopped colouring your hair! For a luminous, trendy white, use a shampoo or a de-yellowing treatment with violet pigments. And don't hesitate to ask your hairdresser for advice! He or she might recommend a patina or bleach for a more confident look! If you don't have the time, call in a home hairdresser to take care of your hair!
