Embracing grey hair is a journey. Some choose to let their natural greys shine, while others prefer a little help to blend or cover them seamlessly. If you’re exploring alternate options for your client’s color refresh, we’ve got you covered — we’re detailing all the low-maintenance solutions for grey coverage below.
Understanding Grey Blending vs. Grey Coverage
When it comes to grey hair, the term “grey blending” might be new to you, but it’s a game-changer. Unlike traditional grey coverage, which focuses on completely masking greys, grey blending offers a softer, more natural approach. It’s all about enhancing your hair’s unique character while finding creative ways to integrate or minimize greys. This makes it ideal for those who want less commitment and upkeep in their color routine.
The beauty of grey blending lies in its flexibility. It doesn’t aim to fully erase greys. Instead, it works with them to create a harmonious, low-maintenance look. Whether it’s sheer coverage, a subtle gradient, or a balayage-inspired effect, grey blending can cater to your client’s lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
For those looking for either blending or full coverage, Wella Professionals color has versatile regimens that can be tailored to your client’s needs.
