If it seems to you that grays have overtaken that image in the mirror, then it’s time to try a temporary hair color for your gray hair.
You may think you’re ready to say “goodbye” to your present hair color and “hello” to a younger look by covering gray hair, but what if you have never colored your hair before? You are likely to be apprehensive about choosing the right shade of hair color, or perhaps you heard horror stories about gray hair being “resistant” to dye.
Don’t be afraid to step out of your land of gray hair and to venture forth into the world of bottled hair color. Well, okay. How about taking a baby-step? Temporarily coloring gray hair is a good way to experiment. All it takes is one fifteen minute shampoo application to coat the hair cuticle with color. The temporary color will wash out in one to two shampoos.
Another perk to temporary hair coloring is that there is no harsh peroxide or ammonia. It’s a nice “first step” to change the gray or a quick way to “touch up” past color treatments. Best part of all, it rinses out. That means no commitment to a hair color that you really don’t like. Also, there are no gray roots as the hair grows in since the shampoo will continue to fill the growth with new color.
You might want to have the color professionally applied to your hair, especially the first time. Otherwise, it may be difficult to get consistent coverage of grays on your own. Also, be aware that the tint may run if the hair gets wet or it could stain clothing and linens. A good stylist who is knowledgable in gray hair management is always your best resource for having the best product and color applied to your hair.
