How to cover 100 percent gray hair

Dyeing gray hair. When pigments disappear.

Gray hair is a great reason to visit a hairdresser. Hair color is determined by the content of two pigments: eumelanin and pheomelanin. As a rule, with age or under the influence of internal factors, hair changes its structure. Melanin production decreases and the hair turns white. So gray hair is hair naturally deprived of melanin. Gray hair can be thin and soft or hard and glassy; depending on the structure and thickness, you need to select a recipe for dyeing gray hair.

Types of gray hair:

1. Patchy gray hair
2. Gray hair 30%
3. Gray hair from 40% to 60%
4. Gray hair from 60% to 70%
5. Gray hair 80%-100%

Also by thickness:

1. Fine soft hair
2. Average in all respects
3. Thick, Coarse Hair

Let's look at all the options:

• Often there are people with so-called “focal” gray hair, when gray hair appears only on certain areas of the head. When working with focal gray hair, the dye is selected and applied directly to these areas, taking into account the % of gray hair and hair thickness. And the rest of the hair that does not have gray hair is dyed as usual without adding a natural tone. Since focal graying appears to a greater extent at the temples, and in these areas the hair is always thinner, you need to consider how the shade will appear, perhaps more intensely than on the rest of the hair.

• Hair having from 10% to 30% gray hair, if it is not focal, we do not take into account, we dye it as usual. If a person fundamentally needs to paint over these “3 hairs,” then we mix as usual, for example: client 6.0 wants 6.7 = 6.0+6.7 in equal parts + 3% oxidant. (6% oxidant in this case will lead to lighter roots)

• Gray hair from 40% to 60%. We determine the tone level of natural hair (note: it will appear lighter due to gray hair) and thickness. If natural hair is dark and the client wants a beautiful blonde, this is only possible through bleaching, otherwise the client will have yellow hair. If the client is satisfied with the yellowness, then we paint it. Naturally, we warn you about the result before doing this. For thick hair we use a dye that is a shade darker, and for thin hair it can be lighter. We always add 50% of the natural tone level, since the dye containing the tint is more transparent and is not able to cover white hair.

• Gray hair from 60% to 70%. It is very beneficial for thin-haired clients; it is ideal to dye them blonde without bleaching them first. But if your hair is thick, you will have to use a lightening agent with 3% oxide; 1.5% may not help. Painting in dark colors is not difficult, taking into account all the laws written at the beginning.

• Gray hair 80% -100%. Generally, there are 2 types of 100% gray hair: thin and thick. If a person has always had thin hair, then when gray hair appears, does it become thick? That would be cool.. but no, they remain thin. Therefore, you can paint it both blonde and dark using a 1.5% oxidizer. In this case, you can add or not add natural pigment. But with 100% thick gray hair, special dyes for gray hair are just right.

Laws for coloring gray hair:

1. Regular dye above tone level 6 does not cover gray hair, there are not enough pigments, with the exception of tone level 7 for thin hair. Thin gray hair is no different from ordinary hair; it can be dyed with 1.5% -3% oxidant.

2. For 100% fine gray hair 9.10 tone level only a small percentage of oxide is used to preserve the pigment for covering the gray hair.

3. Before dyeing thick gray hair blonde, always lighten it with a powder of 3% - 6% oxidant, until the background lightening of the selected tone level. For example: a client has 6.0 and 60% gray hair wants 9.7, then we lighten it by 6% to a light yellow background, then apply dye 9.7 + 1.5% OX.

4. Gray hair after lightening with powder is not considered as such, i.e. You can paint after lightening without adding a natural tone and using a less oxidizing agent.

5. For hard, thick gray hair, use tone level 5, otherwise there won’t be enough pigments; tone level 6 is no longer enough to cover thick hair.

6. For good coverage of gray hair, no hair should be visible when dyeing through the dye.

7. There is a special dye for gray hair. It contains a double dose of pigments and works with 6% and 9% oxidizer. But this is not always suitable especially for thin hair. Often fades into darkness due to the high pigment content.

8. The choice of oxide and the choice of dye depends on the thickness of the hair. If the hair is thick, the concentration of the dye increases.

9. When using 9% oxide, the paint is denser, richer, thicker, taking into account the lightening of the pigments.

10. During the initial coloring of the roots, the percentage is always less, otherwise they will be lighter.

11. And the most important law: When painting gray hair, ALL% of the oxidizing agent is used. And 1.5% and 3% and 6% and 9% depending on the thickness of the hair. When working with a 6% oxidizing agent, you will often end up with lighter roots.

Comparison of hair thickness between thin and thick hair:

Thin hair 4 layers Thick hair 14 layers

How to dye gray hair?!

When do pigments disappear? 90% age and many face the question of whether to paint it completely, leave glimpses of gray hair, or leave everything as is. Most people prefer to dye their entire gray hair in a color that is close to their hair color; this method is not suitable for people with 70%-100% gray hair, especially if they are used to dyeing their hair in dark colors before; they have to become lighter, because the roots have a large percentage of gray hair literally After 1-2 weeks they grow back and they look terrible, almost bald. It’s also a plus that a lighter woman looks younger and fresher, so nature came up with everything for us.

Whether it’s fashionable or not to show through gray hair is everyone’s choice. My personal opinion is that glimpses of gray hair look beautiful on men or women over 80. 95% of women do not want to see their gray hair even a little, but the fact that fashionable undyed gray hair was invented by hairdressers and dye manufacturers who do not know how or cannot properly cover up gray hair hair. Of course, there is beautiful, dazzling white hair that would be a crime to dye.

And also the following topics:

. and much more on the course "In-Depth Coloristics"

The problem of “metal” in strands is known to any of you, because for many representatives of the fair sex it appears quite early. But don't worry - the best dye for gray hair will help you hide the problem.

How to choose a good paint?

When choosing a product for gray hair, be sure to consider these important points:

1. Stick to permanent dyes. Considering the specific characteristics of gray hair, gentle products are indispensable;
2. Pay attention to the effectiveness of gray coverage indicated on the package (60, 70, 100%);
3. Avoid colors that are too bright or too dark – rely on the shade of your natural hair;
4. Give preference to paints with caring ingredients.

Advice! If you have any doubts about the quality of the paint or the success of the entire procedure, consult with a specialist. This also applies to those with damaged hair.

Review of popular brands

It contains natural substances, including cocoa butter, which nourishes the hair from the inside and makes the strands shiny and soft. It features a varied palette - 100 beautiful shades + 6 color enhancers. Gives hair an even and rich shade. Among the disadvantages is the rapid loss of shine.

"Loreal Professionnel Color Supreme"

This product will cost a very serious amount, but believe me, the purchase is completely justified. The effectiveness of this paint is at a very high level - it works even in cases where gray hair has affected more than 80% of the hair. "Loreal Professionnel Color Supreme" contains Densilium-R, a special substance that strengthens the roots, thickens the strands and restores their structure.

Professional dye for gray hair, developed in Holland, is divided into 3 subtypes - permanent, gentle and for SPA dyeing. The Keune palette is very large - 107 different tones (80 main and 5 mixtones). What is important is that the end result always corresponds to what is stated on the packaging. The dye has an unobtrusive odor, does not irritate the epidermis and contains silk proteins, which make the strands softer.

Permanent cream paint “Palet” is another popular and budget option. It covers gray hair well, has a unique “color protection” complex, and provides lasting results for 2 months. Includes 32 different tones, from which you can easily choose what you need. “Palette” contains three types of dyes - for light, semi-permanent and permanent coloring.

As for the disadvantages, these include the lack of balm, a strong smell and the negative effect of the composition on the hair - it becomes brittle and dry. To avoid these moments, take care of your hair using special cosmetics - masks, balms, serums. They also note the fact that one tube is often not enough to color the entire length.

Unfortunately, some tones fade slightly over time.

Rowan by Acme Color

Permanent paint with rowan extract can easily be called the most affordable. Its average price is 100 rubles, but the result will be rich, bright and incredibly durable. The palette includes 30 different tones. The only drawback of "Rowan" is the strong ammonia smell, which does not dissipate throughout the entire staining procedure.

"Matrix SoColor" is an American-made permanent dye for gray hair, the main advantage of which is the patented "ColorGrip" technology. It is very popular and gives the hair a bright and intense shade. It applies very easily, evenly saturates the entire length, retains color for a long time, adapts to the pigment of the strands, which ensures an excellent result.

It contains lipids and phytosterols, which are involved in the deep renewal of the structure of the strands, as well as a considerable amount of color pigments that contribute to long-lasting coloring.

Unfortunately, there are no ready-made shades in the palette - you have to mix the base colors. For this reason, Lebel Materia is not very convenient to use at home.

"Anthocyanin Second Edition"

Professional dyes for coloring graying strands cannot do without “Anthocyanin Second Edition”, a new dye with an incredibly bright palette and a laminating effect. This cosmetic product is based on plant extracts that promote deep coloring. The product delights with a light aroma and gives shine to the strands. Unfortunately, it is difficult to wash off the skin.

This rating is completed by ammonia-free ionic paint of American origin. Her palette consists of copper, ash and natural colors. There is no ammonia in the composition - the procedure involves a wave of the long infrared spectrum, which lifts the scales, letting pigment into them.

Rules for coloring gray hair

To use dye without harming your hair, remember these few rules:

1. Determine the number of gray strands. If there are more than 50%, you need to select the proportions in the ratio 1:1.5 (oxygen/paint). At 70% gray hair, the proportions are distributed in a 1:1 ratio;

1. Analyze their distribution. If the gray hair comes through evenly and does not exceed 50%, feel free to use paints marked “for covering up to 50%.” If it appears in islands, use products without ammonia;
2. Set the character of the gray hair and the stiffness of the strands. For coloring glassy hair, the proportions are 2:1. Women with soft hair can choose a 1:1 ratio. They need to take a dye one tone lighter than desired;
3. The dyeing procedure should begin from the back of the head - this area has the lowest temperature;
4. For several days before the procedure, do not use shampoo and conditioner;
5. Decide on a color. It is most difficult to cover gray hair on dark hair, because it has a denser structure. That is why brown-haired women and brunettes should choose shades from the natural range (close to their native color). In almost all paints they are designated by a number - 0, 4.0, 5.0, etc. Those who want to change the color need to choose tones located clockwise. In this case, you will protect yourself from unpredictable results.

By following these recommendations, you will never be faced with the question: “Why doesn’t the dye stick to gray hair?”

When abundant gray hair appears, women involuntarily ask themselves what to use for coloring. Time cannot be turned back, so paint is required for the appearance:

1. The desired shade, as the roots will grow, will require touching up once every 1-2 months. You should not choose a bright, unusual tone; shades that match natural colors make you look younger and look harmonious.
2. Causing minimal damage to hair (with oils, nutrients, minimal ammonia, or it will be a natural dye).
3. Resistant to washing off (persistent), so that the shade does not change under the influence of aggressive influences (washing, hair dryer, environment).
4. Method - home or salon coloring (a matter of price).
5. If your hair is already dyed regularly, choose a color so that there is no border, since dye can give one color to gray hair, and another color to already dyed hair. The result will be a border with the impossibility of matching the color. If you are afraid of an unsuccessful outcome, it is better to contact a specialist to select a tone and paint. In the future, you can dye at home with the selected color variation.

Professional dye for gray hair

Features of truly professional paints are:

2. the presence of ammonia in a small amount, since gray hair without ammonia cannot be reliably painted over; if there is no ammonia, then an oxidizing agent is present
3. enhanced formula of caring components
4. the presence of reliable fixatives in the composition that can slow down the leaching of artificial pigment from the porous structure of gray hair.

In addition to the natural shade, professional hair dye that covers gray hair has auxiliary properties: it adds volume, protects, does not disturb the structure, and contains sun filters.

You can find out professional paint by price; it will be 2-4 times more expensive than regular paint. Regular price paints with the inscription “Professional” are nothing more than marketing tricks.

Dyeing gray hair with henna

The most effective vegetable dye is henna. Strengthens hair follicles, treats dandruff, makes hair voluminous and strong - this is not the whole list. When using natural henna, the curls are painted a bright copper color. To reduce the fiery quality of henna, basma, natural coffee, and iodine are added to it. Henna and basma are natural dyes for gray hair. Basma, when performed independently, gives a green color. But a combination with henna in a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio can dye gray hair into brownish-reddish chestnut shades for 4 weeks. For a darker color, add ground natural coffee to the mixture in a 1:1:1 ratio. A couple of drops of iodine will add burgundy notes. In terms of durability, henna is a natural hair dye that covers 100% of gray hair when left on for a long time. Useful care and coloring with henna and basma have disadvantages. Requires long exposure - several hours, and inconvenient application. The longer, the darker and more saturated the color will be. Within a few hours of contact, the mixture flows and stains clothing. Free time is required to use this method, but the result may well be satisfactory.
