Maintain a harmonious and bright gray
Gray hair, whether natural or in transition, require special attention. Their fiber is often dry and porous, which makes them sensitive to yellow reflections caused by the sun, pollution or residue of styling products. To preserve their shine:
- Use a gentle sulfate -free shampoo, which respects fiber and avoids drying out.
- Regularly apply a nourishing or hydrating mask to compensate for the natural loss of sebum.
- Protect UV hair with a spray or an accessory, especially in summer.
- Limit the use of heating devices and, if necessary, apply thermal protection before styling.
- Space washing so as not to weaken the hair further and keep the depth of color.
A regular and targeted maintenance allows you to keep a uniform gray, bright and full of character, whether pepper and salt or completely silver.
