Coconut oil and lemon are essential to get rid of gray hair as they help in pigmenting the hair.
Without forgetting the good dose of hydration they provide and the elimination of dandruff.
Usage:
Pour a spoonful of coconut oil and lemon juice into a deep container.
Mix gently until a homogeneous mass is formed.
After preparation, apply this mask with light circular movements to the roots and scalp (like a massage).
Apply well to the area where there is gray hair.
If necessary, repeat the procedure.
Leave on for at least 30 minutes and rinse.
Repeat the process at least three times a week for best results.
Henna
Henna, used since ancient times, is a beautiful natural chestnut dye that is still used today for cosmetic purposes.
In powder form, to enhance your hair, it can be combined with various other natural substances such as lemon juice, vinegar, cloves or even perfumed oils.
In terms of frequency, we recommend applying once a week or once a month, depending on the desired color intensity.
With regular use, we can assure you that it will give you remarkable shine and effectively hide your gray hair.
Potato peels
The idea might surprise you, but trust us, it works!
So the next time you peel potatoes, don’t throw the skins in the trash.
Keep them as a natural dye that gently darkens your gray hair.
For this we must thank the starch (contained in the skin of the potato), which acts in the same way as a dye.
Usage:
Boil two cups of water with one cup of potato skins for at least 25 minutes.
Drain them and let the potato water cool.
If you don’t like the smell, you can also add a few drops of essential oil to the mixture.
Gray hair: what are the cultural perceptions?
The beauty of gray hair in fashion and photography
For many women, wearing gray hair is far from carefree hair, but rather a celebration of life and an ode to mother nature.
So much so that this concept has even become democratized in the world of fashion and photography.
With a new wave of stars and models proudly flaunting their silver manes, it’s no surprise that “silver hair” has become a major trend today.
The silver hue is winning more and more hearts.
For good reason, this look is so chic, glamorous, modern and easy to wear.
Makeup Ideas and Hairstyles to Highlight Your Gray Hair
Gray is a sophisticated color that comes in many wonderful shades.
However, if you are worried that your color will become dull, austere, or even monotonous over time, there are some tricks you can use to revive the shine of your hair and soften the features of your face.
Do you often wear eye makeup with a brown or beige palette?
Bad idea !
These shades are not suitable for gray hair.
No wonder you sometimes look sad and your skin is dull or pale.
If you want your face to look radiant, choose colors that are a little cooler, but adapted to your skin tone.
If you have a warm skin tone, use champagne, shimmer, blue, green, black, purple and even Mexican pink shades.
If you have a cool complexion, apply gray, silver and pearly shadows.
Don’t skimp on turquoise, aqua, purple, magenta and all pastel colors.
Black eyeliner: your best ally
Black is the perfect color to enhance your look because it creates a wonderful contrast with your white or gray hair.
Apply black eyeliner, combining it with a good coat of mascara.
And if you want a little more color, let yourself be guided by the same color nuances that we mentioned above.
A perfect blush
For warm skin, opt for a slightly pinkish peach shade (not too orange!), and for cooler skin, nothing better than a soft, neutral pink.
Always try to apply blush above the cheekbones for a youthful and lifting effect.
Now that the makeup is perfect and your gray hair is softly lighting up your face, let’s move on to the final touch of lipstick.
Sometimes simple glitter can do it.
Good luck!
