In my last article, I wrote about options for coloring gray (or white — I use “gray” to mean both) hair, but what if you don’t want to cover it? I think for all of us, it’s a big question and what you ultimately decide depends on how you feel about your changing hair. If you’re in the camp that decides to rock your gray, there are options for enhancing it to keep it looking shiny and lustrous. Transitioning from your natural color to gray is the first (emotional!) hurdle. Most of us start seeing a few strands and depending on the pattern, we get more and more until we’re grayer than our natural color. During the transition, one trick is to cut your hair shorter, which will take away some of the bulk and keep the focus on your face. Another option is to lighten your natural (or base) color, which will help camouflage the gray until there’s enough of it to make a statement. You can also use a temporary color to cover the gray while you get used to the transition (see recent post about different temporary options).https://www.motheringinthemiddle.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/dha-150x150.jpg
