Care for gray hair: features and tips

In the past few years, gray hair has become one of the most popular trends. In the salons in demand staining in ashy, gray shades or in the technique of salt and pepper. But when it comes to natural, natural gray hair, in this case it is hardly possible to find at least one enthusiastic woman. After all, this state of hair is associated with aging for many, and not at all with fashionable trends.

However, if you organize the right care for gray hair, you will also have a reason to be proud of your hairstyle. White strands can be painted over to make invisible, or vice versa, to emphasize and make them expressive, using special cosmetics.

Gray hair features

If a person does not suffer from a serious genetic pathology called albinism (congenital absence of pigmentation of the skin, hair, eyes), then its curls have a certain color: light, brown, black, and red.

What kind of shade will be strands depends on the ratio of pigments in the structure of hairs. They are produced by special cells, melanocytes, located in the follicles. Thanks to their activity, the curls that grow back also have their own color.

As the body ages, melanocytes begin to function irregularly, and then cease to produce melanin altogether. Of these follicles, gray hair begins to grow, which at first may appear gray and then white. Already existing pigment is gradually washed out of the hair, its place is occupied by voids. therefore The main difference between grayish and pigmented curls is a lighter, coarse structure. They are easier to break and electrify, harder to lay.

By the way. Sometimes you can hear the opinion that gray strands are thicker than usual. But this is an optical illusion, especially if whitened hairs appear in dark hair. For persuasiveness, remember the statement that white color fills.

The scales of curls that have lost their pigment are lifted. Because of this Gray hair is not so easy to paint over: an artificial shade on such a hair does not hold well, is quickly washed out. In addition, after about 50 years, there are changes in the sebaceous glands.

Due to the smaller amount of secreted sebaceous secretions, the strands beginning to turn gray become dry. Obviously, in such conditions, care for gray hair should be special, because the curls become defenseless and require your close attention.

Associated with changes in the work of melanocytes is the fact that many fair-haired babies become owners of darker hair with age.

Care rules

Ways and means for gray hair

Planning to care for gray hair is necessary taking into account how many strands you have turned whiteas they are distributed along the head of their hair: evenly or localized in one place. Sometimes there is enough tint balm or a suitable haircut to hide the first silver hairs.

In the case of completely whitened curls have to choose, paint them or tint, hide or emphasize.

In addition, among the means for the care of gray hair should be drugs that will nourish, strengthen, moisturize and heal the curls.

Tint balms and tonics - gentle products for women who do not want to further injure gray hair with ammonia or peroxide, are in search of a new image or are anxious about caring for gray hair. You can choose a color that is close to the main color of the curls, and mask a small amount of silver on the strands. Cardinally dyed with tonics will not succeed.

Another option is to improve the gray hair tonic, which covered all the hair. Many manufacturers offer for this special balms with hints of pearl, smoky pink, pearl, silver, ashy, smoky topaz.

Popular products in this segment are Estel (LOVE nuance, Solo Ton series), Tonic Rocolor, Color Lux from Belita Vitex and other products.

Besides, Toning can be semi-permanent dyes. They are also called non-ammonia or benign. The concentration of aggressive chemical components in such preparations is minimal, and the effect lasts longer than in the case of tonic. You can choose from funds from Londa, Matrix, Kapous, L'Oreal and other manufacturers.

Coloring

For many women, gray hair care is regular dyeing that hides traces of silver on their hair. There are several options for dyes:

• persistent ammonia compounds. Many manufacturers guarantee that such products are 100% hiding gray hair in any volume. However, to get involved in permanent colors in adulthood is not worth it, otherwise even more spoil the curls. Good reviews deserve L'Oreal Paris Recital Preference, Phytolini Palette, Garnier Color naturals and others,

• semi-resistant drugs washed out faster with the strands and, rather, tinted rather than painted over. Therefore, you should not choose shades that are strikingly different from your main color scheme, as well as a very dark palette. Growing roots will immediately give all your secrets,

• henna and basma - natural ingredients with which you can care for gray hair and give it a rich color. Typically, these tools are used in tandem, and not separately. The resulting hue depends on the proportions. Of the minuses - dry curls and poorly suited for blondes.

Attention! Sometimes, to achieve the desired shade, it is necessary to dye the strands with hna and basma several times in a short time. Another option is to increase the residence time of the mixture on the curls, up to 5–6 hours.

Far from any silver in her hair can be dyed. There is a special kind of gray hair, the so-called vitreous. In this case, the curls are very thick and hard, and the hair scales are especially tight to each other and do not allow the artificial pigment to penetrate inside. In this case, you can fail even with a persistent composition.

Owners of the Vitreous Gray must prepare the hair for coloring in any way:

• apply the Mordon massage technique. On the whitened dry curls put 1.5–3% oxidizer. It lifts the cuticle and loosens the hair shaft, making it pliable for paint. The oxide is not washed off, the strands are wetted with a towel and dried with a hairdryer. Then they can be painted,
• perform pre-pigmentation. To do this, you need to distribute the dye in slightly damp hair, a tone lighter than the one with which you paint the hair. It is not necessary to add water to it, it is not necessary to wash off the product. After 20 minutes, you can paint as usual.

For both procedures, persistent ammonia paint is used.

Professional preparations

One of the common problems faced by owners of a head of hair with graying is yellowness. It appears as a reaction of the strands to the sun, nicotine, chlorine and other factors.

Care for gray hair includes the use of special cosmetics, which neutralizes the yellow tint and gives the curls a noble silver color scheme:

• Concept, balsam from the Anti-yellow effect series,
• Cutrin, tint shampoos Pearlescent and Silver frost,
• Kapous tint shampoo Blond Bar,
• Matrix, Color Obsessed So Silver shampoo, and other products.

• Reparex lotion - makes the silver on the curls less noticeable,
• Stopsedin spray - prevents the appearance of gray hair, improves hair structure. There are also other drugs of a similar spectrum of action.

Causes of gray hair

On single gray hairs, problems are hard to notice. They just spoil the appearance of hair and serves the first bells about age-related changes occurring in the body. Sometimes gray hair appears very early and is not connected with the number of years lived. Most often this is provoked by negative external or internal factors:

• chronic diseases
• endocrine disorders
• strong or prolonged stress
• unbalanced diet or fasting,
• sharp changes in climatic conditions.

It would seem that all of the above has nothing to do with the color of the hair. But this is only at first glance.

The natural coloring of the hair gives the coloring pigment melanin, which is produced by special cells - melanocytes, located in the scalp. If their activity decreases for any reason, then melanin is not produced, and the hair remains transparent, but because of the reflection of light, it appears white to us.

Ways of care

The main rule of care for a gray head is regularity. Even professional salon procedures, which have very high efficiency, need to undergo courses so that the result will last longer.

Get rid forever of the already appeared gray hair is almost impossible. But to significantly slow down the process of graying hair and significantly improve its quality is quite realistic.

Salon treatments

The most effective caring salon procedures, which are primarily aimed at restoring the production of melanocytes and improving the nutrition of hair follicles. They are at the same time prevention of the rapid spread of gray hair.

1. Mesotherapy. Subcutaneous injection of fortified cocktails, providing intensive nutrition to the hair follicles. They begin to produce more healthy and high-quality cells, and the structure of the hair is noticeably improved. Modern high-tech drugs manually prick with a syringe with a thin needle or a special gun. In the home version, you can use the mezoroller. A series of 5-10 procedures performed every 7-10 days is needed.
2. Darsonvalization. This stimulation of the surface of the scalp weak electrical discharge with the effect of ionization. Strengthens the roots, normalizes the sebaceous glands, improves cellular nutrition, accelerates hair growth and prevents the appearance of early gray hair. Already gray hair helps to make a stronger and more elastic. The procedure is performed on clean, dry hair; if the device is present, it can be performed at home by yourself. Course - 10-15 sessions every other day.
3. Ultrasound therapy. It has an excellent firming and rejuvenating effect. Fluctuations of sound waves of a certain frequency penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate the activity of cells, including those producing melanocytes. At a young age, ultrasound sometimes helps to completely get rid of gray hair, provoked by non-pathological causes. A course of 8-10 procedures performed 2-3 times a week.

Also in the salon you can offer a professional head massage and nourishing masks enriched with keratins, collagen and elastin. The effect of them does not last long - up to two weeks, but if you take a course of such procedures, and then maintain the result at home, the structure of the hair will darken after dark.

Scat, tricolor cat!

To dye or not gray hair? Most women after fifty unconditionally answer: “Yes!” They use chemical dyes and rapidly lose their hair. The fact is that mass production paints contain ammonia and a high percentage of oxidizer. This has a negative effect on the hair: it becomes more fragile and weaker. To protect the suffering head of hair, some ladies go to henna with Basma. But the head most often turns into a tricolor cat's skin: gray hair is not important for such coloring.

And there is a way out. First, professional henna can be used, in which there is a mass of useful ingredients from extracts and oils of various plants. In addition, the correct composition guarantees not only the complete painting of gray hair in the chosen color (and the range is wide - from honey blonde to brunette), but also allows you to achieve the desired shades.

Another option is the so-called organic dyes, which are 95% composed of plant extracts, and also contain minerals and vitamins necessary for healthy hair.

How old is the color?

The choice of paint color is not easy. Stylists advise: the most unmistakable option - the color is two colors lighter than your own. Nature usually does not make mistakes. Light tones hide wrinkles better, but only their warm shades are needed: ashen or beige will add a dullness to the face. Universal chestnut gamma: from light to dark tones - the skin looks fresher. In addition, the chestnut hides the errors of home coloring.

There is also such a rule: the darker the color, the thicker and lush your hair will look. However, it is better to refuse deep black - often it visually ages and makes wrinkles and blemishes on the skin more noticeable. Although women of a certain type, slim and energetic, preferring short haircuts, he can outwardly “squint” for ten years. But in this case it is better to dwell on the graphite shade of black.

In short, everything is very individual. It is best to choose a color with a good master at the hairdresser, and then you can easily maintain it by dyeing your hair at home by yourself.

Silver nobility

In Europe, a new fad is in fashion: ladies at the age of 55+ are increasingly refusing gray hair coloring. And, paradoxically, it adds youthfulness (especially with proper care of the skin of the face): untrained hair dyes become healthier, thicker, add elegance.

Of course, beautiful gray hair needs care: firstly, you need a “correct” hairstyle, and secondly, you should use tinted shampoos or special toner, in which it starts to play beautifully. And finally, accessories and colors in clothes, in which gray hair will look like an element of style, help to emphasize its nobility.

Oxide do not wash off. Wet the head with a towel and dry with a hairdryer. Then a staining procedure is carried out.
2. Prepigmentation To do this, the hair is slightly moistened. Then they are applied to the dye on the tone lighter than the selected paint. Water is not added to the dye. Means do not wash off. After 20 minutes, painted in the usual way.

In both cases, only ammonia paint is suitable. Then care for dyed gray hair should be enhanced. Otherwise, the hairstyle will look depressing.

When dyeing curls, pre-apply to an experienced hairdresser. The master will select the appropriate tool, a shade of paint. Then the maintenance of color is possible at home. This approach simplifies hair care and the preservation of a beautiful shade of hair.

Causes of gray hair

In addition to age, there are other reasons for graying.

This phenomenon occurs in people up to 35 years due to such reasons:

• stresses,
• heredity (more often on the female line),
• chronic diseases.

Understandable anxiety is gray hair in a child. Doctors believe that this is a symptom of disorders in the digestive tract, hormonal dysfunction or diabetes. This means that an urgent examination is necessary.

Stress also causes the destruction of bonds between albumin and melanin, which does not get into the hair follicles and does not stain the hairs.

Now let's summarize why and how the hair turns gray. So, gray hair is a loss of color that occurs when the number of stem cells, melanocytes that produce staining melanin decreases.Then the first silvered hairs appear, and with the complete disappearance of these cells, the production of melanin ceases - and all the hair is whitening.

Let's talk in the women's club komu-za30.ru about what you should not do. If earlier you were fond of highlighting and coloring, now these procedures will have to be abandoned. Contrasting strands are unlikely to decorate the head, which has gray hair.

It is not necessary to resort simultaneously with the coloring to the wave - both electrical and chemical: these procedures degrease and thin the strands. It is necessary to wait at least one month between dyeing and perm.

Care for gray hair: some useful tips

• If you have gray hair, it's time to switch to shampoos designed specifically for damaged, thin and dry hair. The action of such shampoos is reduced to the creation of a protective barrier on the hair, which protects them from environmental influences. In addition, these tools are able to return the natural moisture to hair, restore lost carotene, as well as saturate the hair with essential vitamins and trace elements, not to mention the beneficial essential oils.
• Try to get used to the idea that gray hair is difficult to style. You can solve this problem by starting to use after washing balsams, conditioners and softening conditioners.
• Hair health directly depends on your nutrition. Take care that your diet is enough vitamins, start taking extra folic acid, a multivitamin complex. Lead a healthy lifestyle and take care of your body, providing him enough rest. Everything in our body works in a complex, so you need to start with the simplest.

In the care of gray hair, you can also use simple folk recipes. For example, after each wash, you can tint the hair with a decoction of black tea and rinse it with infusion of sage or onion peel.

Blond hair that has begun to turn gray can also be tinted with chamomile brewed and, conversely, “bleached” with lemon juice.

It so happens that the gray bloom does not cause any feelings of discomfort or uncertainty. If this is about you - great: continue to feel just as confident, remembering that the silvery curls only emphasize your refinement, nobility and add solidity to your image.

Gray hair color: what to do

The first thing you need to understand is that if the curls are silvered, you will have to look after them doubly. Gray hair color suggests that it is time to actively apply moisturizers, as hair becomes hard with age and loses moisture. But not one moisturizing oil will be required to care for experienced hair. Also requires a special shampoo for gray hair with toning effect. It perfectly protects the strands from yellowing, which accompanies the processes of oxidation.

What we understand from the above - you need to care for the gray strands. What remains to be understood is that gray hair does not need to be shy. Imagine that you are not a lady in the age, but just a fashionable woman. Yes, it is a fashion maiden. Today, many girls ask how to make hair gray, use dyes to achieve the effect of gray hair. And you can not spoil the order by coloring agents. Thanks to the natural “silver” on the curls, you are already in trend.

From the photo it is not difficult to conclude that the gray hair looks noble, elegant and not at all ages. The image will be especially harmonious if you pick up a little strict clothing, but not devoid of romanticism, exquisite and concise hair accessories, make light makeup. Even if your hair looks slightly different, for example, the curls do not have a uniform boastful coating “hoarfrost”, then you should not despair anyway. Grayish-white strands are also in fashion. True, this image looks bold.

Hairstyles and haircuts for gray hair

If young girls are able to afford a lot, then mature ladies with natural gray hair should relate to the choice of hairstyle, haircuts are reasonable. After all, what in youth looks like a creative mess, in old age looks like a banal untidy. This effect is produced by long gray hair, giving the impression that the lady has no time to dye, cut her own stripes. Even if you carefully style your long hair on your head, you can look not elegant, but old.

Lovers of long hair can try to remedy the situation and become a little younger, freely forming a parting, making soft curls. At the same time, it is not necessary to choose youth clothes (frivolous T-shirts, lightweight long-sleeved sweaters or frivolous dress). So you will not look like an adult elegant lady, but as an early aged girl.

Although to be fair, adult women who look after themselves can approach gray hair below their shoulders and open T-shirts. There is already a matter of taste. If you can be young, and moreover, it suits you, then why not please others and yourself at the same time with a mix of sophisticated maturity and carefree youth.

Since long, silver-plated hair is not always the topic, many women, when they enter adulthood, choose short haircuts. To them, both ordinary and star ladies. Short haircuts are also preferred by still quite young women who went for dyeing under gray hair. Look carefully at how beautiful and feminine looks short hair cut on gray hair.

Care for a lot of meek haircuts is not difficult. Sometimes it is enough to dry them with a hairdryer after applying thermal protection, securing the effect with a styling agent (mousse). Dividing the hair into individual feathers contributes to wax. And what about beauties who love more romantic hairstyles for gray hair? They should prefer haircuts for medium hair. As a result, the length of the strands to the shoulders will allow you to form beautiful curls. Business ladies will also appreciate this hairstyle.

For adult women with straight and thin hair, acceptable haircuts bob, square. These haircuts for gray hair fit as well as possible. In addition, they help to give thin hair a volume that is lost if the strands are too long. Naturally, to get a chic volume will help bouffant, curl strands, but this is often not enough time. So, if you have straight, not too thick gray hair, look at this photo.

In the next photo you will see a hairstyle for slightly curly gray hair. Thanks to neat curls, the image is quite flirty, but not defiant. This hairstyle is easy to lay before work, an important meeting. Being mature, doing haircuts, you need to not forget about the bangs, it will help to hide wrinkles. Of course, if the bangs are unacceptable for you, then you can curl several strands on one side of your face, and then throw them on the other.

It is not necessary to close the whole forehead with bangs, especially if you do not have too pronounced age-related changes. A few strands will be enough. And remember: if you are cheerful, take good care of yourself, dress tastefully, you can give odds to young people at any age. Gray hair should never bar the way to your happiness.

Youth with gray hair loves to experiment. They curl strands into curls, later straighten the latter. Each option is beautiful in its own way and can come to women after 40 years and even over 50. The only exception is the first hairstyle. Remember, we have already said that gray, too long hair does not always suit mature beauties?

Adult women also love to curl straight hair, but not all are ready to straighten natural curly hair. Some people think that if the hair is curled by nature, then to have a beautiful haircut, you do not need anything but a comb. In this case, women often do not pay attention to the condition of the strands. Remember, one comb is not enough. Curly strands need care, moisture, styling even more than smooth.

Curly women with gray hair should be afraid of combing. Otherwise, they will completely break the structure of the problematic hair and turn themselves into a kind of woman Yaga. If there is no desire to look like an old woman, then do not try to fluff gray curls.

Having an unaesthetic type of gray curls, they need to be straightened. Take a moisturizing and straightening serum that protects against thermal effects. Smear her hair, wind the curlers. After drying the hair, remove the heated hair rollers and enjoy straightened strands with slightly curled tips.

Gray hair color: dye or tea?

When the purchased chemical dye for gray hair does not inspire confidence, you can remove the gray hair in a safe way.Home made coloring products will protect your hair from ammonia and give them a beautiful uniform color. At least, so say beauty experts who are crazy about natural dyes. Now this is not about henna. Dye your hair will help ordinary tea.

Tea will require not any, but black. It is better if he will not have any additives. If they are, then it's okay too. When you have blond hair with graying, four large spoons of tea are enough for one portion of tinting agent. They are poured with a liter of boiling water, infused, thoroughly filtered. Hair should be rinsed with tea after washing the head (about 15 minutes). Drench, wipe the strands do not need. Blow-dry is acceptable. The result will be approximately the same as in the picture.

If the hair is dark with gray, then the amount of selected tea should be increased to six to eight spoons. Of course, it is wasteful to prepare such a tool, but it can save you from the problem that you observe below. Since tea can affect hair hardness, do not forget to please curls with good oil. It will give the hair shine, tenderness, softness

.

In order for a brunette to hide her gray hair color, the paint from the store is not needed if she has the same tea and cocoa. Four teaspoons of tea are cooked for half an hour on low heat and mixed with cocoa (two tablespoons). Homemade paint is aged from an hour or more under the cap. If you want to get reddish curls, pour about a third of a glass of wine into a cooled brew.

Attention: the use of paint from tea, cocoa and vino is associated with some inconveniences. You can block the drain in the bathroom, sink. Hit under heavy rain on the first day of use is undesirable. The effect of staining will last up to two to three weeks.

Toning and coloring

Most women struggle with graying hair by dyeing or toning. But these procedures also have certain features. Due to the presence of voids, even the most resistant paint is quickly washed away, and the tonic often falls unevenly. A yellowish shade of hair, which they can acquire under the influence of nicotine, hard water or improper nutrition affects the resulting color.

The so-called "silver" shampoo helps to get rid of unpleasant yellowness. It contains a blue or purple pigment and, if used correctly, gives gray hair a noble shine. Now on sale there are such tools specifically for men. They cost more than women, but in fact differ from them only by perfume and the picture on the packaging.

It is necessary to choose a tint balm on a tone that is darker than a natural color, as the gray brightens all colors. First, the basal zone is intensively tinted, and then the agent is distributed throughout the hair.

Regular use of tonic on dyed hair will maintain the brightness of the shade and do not have too often to do a disastrous procedure for the hair.

Unfortunately, the complete filling of a large amount of gray hair is possible only with the preliminary loosening of the hair. Otherwise, the pigment will not be able to penetrate deeply through the densified keratin layer and will be washed very quickly. Therefore, before the first dyeing of gray hair, it is necessary to do the dressing - they process the hair with a wash or an oxidizer with a low percentage.

Then the hair is impregnated with half a tube of the selected paint, diluted in half with water, and only after 15-20 minutes the rest is prepared according to the instructions and applied to the whole head, first of all carefully processing the roots. 5-10 minutes before the end of the recommended exposure time, it is desirable to moisten the hair with a spray bottle - this way the pigment will penetrate even deeper.

Home methods

You can look after gray hair with the help of folk recipes. They are simple, effective and do not require a large investment of time and money.

A good result can be obtained only if you do it regularly, with the same composition, and not use another day. Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from - the Internet and women's publications abound in recipes. Therefore, here we present only a few of the most simple and popular:

Castor oil

Massage of the head with castor oil brings tremendous benefits to the skin and hair. It eliminates dandruff, strengthens the roots and perfectly softens the hair. After several procedures, it becomes perfectly smooth, shiny and easier to lay.

You can buy castor oil at any pharmacy, it costs a penny. Massage should be done wetted with fingertips in the oil for 5-10 minutes.

Castor can be left overnight (note that the fat will probably stain the pillow) or roll your head with cellophane and a towel, sit for an hour and wash it off.

Tea Mask

The perfect option with which a brown-haired woman can feed her hair and at the same time effectively tint it in a beautiful chestnut hue. Strong brewing (a tablespoon of leaves in a glass of water!) Is mixed with a teaspoon of olive oil, whipped with egg yolk.

The mask should be applied warm, so if the tea has cooled down, heat the mixture in a water bath. Warm the head and keep at least two hours (can be left overnight).

Curry Mask

This is a great option for women with hair from very light to dark blond color. The mask perfectly softens and moisturizes the hair, serves as an excellent sunscreen filter and gives the curls a sunny golden hue, masking the gray hair well.

Two tablespoons of curry should be mixed with the same amount of coconut oil and heat everything in a water bath. Warm the head after applying the mask. Keep from 1 hour depending on the intensity of the shade you want to get.

Other means

It is possible to paint gray hair and at the same time treat other hairs with the help of other plants: rhubarb root, chamomile broth, onion peel, nutshell and coffee grounds.

Natural dyes such as henna and basma are useful for gray hair, but they need to add oil, as they are able to overdry the hair.

Pharmaceutical preparation “Antisedin”, which is a vitamin cocktail flavored with sulfur and other useful microelements, helps partially or completely get rid of early gray hair. According to consumer reviews, this remedy for gray hair does give some results, but it has an unpleasant, pronounced sulfuric smell and is not able to cope with a rich gray hair.

Prevention of gray hair

Do not forget about the prevention of the emergence of new gray hair. And in the first place here are a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition.

If you do not have enough opportunity to diversify your diet, to be sure that the body receives all the necessary nutrients - at least twice a year, drink multivitamin complexes in tablets or capsules.

It is also advisable to adhere to the following rules:

• spend at least an hour a day in the fresh air - the body needs oxygen and sunlight,
• Do not use resistant paint more than once every 6-8 weeks - to maintain the brightness of the shade, there are tonics,
• do not abuse the styling products and use less irons and curls less often,
• buy only high-quality shampoos and balms for damaged or gray hair,
• at least 2 times a week to pamper your hair with nourishing masks - ready-made or homemade,
• be sure to regularly trim the tips and use special oils for them.

Do not chase the length. Gray hair looks better in short or medium-quality high-quality haircuts and at the same time it is much easier to care for them.

Remember that age is not the amount of gray hair on the head, but a state of mind. The ability to easily look at life and deal with stress properly is the best cure for old age and the emergence of new gray hair.
