Ways to cover Grey Hair

If you want to cover your grey hair, there are a variety of options.  All it takes is some imagination, creativity, and a desire to try a new look.   

Hats, for example, come in a variety of colors and styles.  Instead of dull and drabby grey hair, you can cover it with deep purple, royal blue, emerald green, or wild fuscia.  Some types of hats will cover all the hair, leaving greys concealed quite nicely.  So, go ahead and shop for hats; needless to say, stay away from the dull beige and grey! 

Wigs are also fun fashion accessories.  Wigs made from human hair will cover the head most naturally, hiding any greys.  The best wigs will closely mimic the way hair randomly covers the scalp. 

Of course, for those who simply miss their original hair color, tinting the grey hair with a temporary stain or permanent dye is most likely the best option.  It would not be possible to transform the grey into the exact shade from more youthful times, but it could come close.  Perhaps the original hair color would actually be improved!  However, bear in mind that a permanent dye will not cover the grey hair, per se, since the dye actually penetrates the cuticle and is deposited inside the hair cortex.   

Henna is likely the best option for covering grey hair with some color.  It is natural and actually beneficial to the overall condition of the hair.  The greys will stain lighter than the rest of the hair, creating a very subtle “highlighted” effect.
