Grey hair can be FUN & SEXY! by Master Stylist Daniel Paterno

Many times I’m asked by clients if they could wear their grey hair natural and not tinted. I have a short list of questions that I like to run down to help us consider all the options for either going grey, or wearing your grey hair with a little “enhancement.” Here’re some things I like to think about and talk over with my clients…

  1. Is your natural grey hair really white, or just not the darker color anymore?
    If your grey hair is a beautiful, icy white or smokey grey then going natural may be an option.
  2. If I do have a beautiful white or smokey grey natural color, what hairstyle should I wear?
    I usually recommend wearing a style that has a bit of “verve” to it. By that I mean, a style with some straight lines, like a one length bob with no bangs, or something shorter and spikey. Being playful with the style offsets the somberness of white or grey hair and keeps the look “fun.”
  3. What if I want to go naturally grey, but need a little help?
    There are a few options:  I like to low-light (foil technique) more “pepper” into the hair. I’ve used a smokey brown, or a beautiful dark chocolate shade which looks great when you want to keep the overall color design cooler but not ashy. You can also do an all over tint with a demi-permanent color that will “stain” your greys and make them look “not white.” This gives richness and shine and the upkeep is minimal.  I’ve also done low-lights and high-lights together which give more warmth and depth to grey hair and keep the maintenance low.

So.. going grey can become a large part of your signature style. Discussing these few questions with your stylist can help you figure out if “going grey” is a style option for you.
