HOW TO TRANSITION TO A
MAGNIFICENT SILVER GREY LOOK
By Luc Vincent
Are you considering transitioning to a natural silver grey hair?
Adopting silver hair helps many women feel more confident and free.
This fashion trend also offers a huge savings in time and money.
At Luc Vincent, we know many women who have navigated their own journey towards silver grey hair.
For many of these women, this transition is much more than a lifestyle choice. Becoming silver is an affirmation of self-love and beauty at any age.
Whether you're already planning your journey towards silver grey hair, still hesitant, or just curious, we hope these three methods will provide you with guidance and support in your decision:
1. Choose the gradual method
Pros and Cons
The advantages of this simple method are the time and money you'll save. Who wouldn't want that?
If the color of your dyed hair is very different from your natural silver, you'll likely see a noticeable grow-out line.
If you have lighter dyed hair, the line may be less obvious.
Until your natural color has completely grown out and the lengths have disappeared, which can take months or years, you won't really know what your silver hair will look like.
Before embarking on the gradual strategy, ask yourself if you're at risk of getting discouraged halfway through. If so, you may prefer another method.
On the other hand, if you have patience and aren't worried about the grow-out, this method is simple and cost-effective.
2. A Shortcut to Your Natural Silver Grey Color
Do you want to shorten the process?
Perhaps you're ready for a more dramatic look, feeling impatient, or don't like long transitions?
If that's the case, our second method combines coloring and cutting.
When starting down this path, let your silver roots grow out a few inches.
Then, visit a trusted stylist for an ultra-short and easy-to-maintain, alluring cut.
This technique provides immediate results and showcases your bold silver hair beauty to everyone's eyes.
Pros and Cons
If you don't want to spend money or time and are eager to display your silver grey hair as soon as possible, this method is for you.
Whether you've done it before or not, cutting your hair very short can seem a little scary.
After all, going from very short to the desired length can take a lot of time.
On the other hand, you may discover that you like the ease of short hair, especially if you're sporty.
Either way, this method is perfect for women who are ready for something entirely new, already sport short hair, or are not intimidated by big changes.
3. Mix the colors
Do you want to keep your length but don't want a distinct root line?
A talented colorist can blend your emerging silver with the rest of your hair.
The right stylist will use silver dye strands or other strategies to merge your silver hair and your current color.
Within a few hours, you could go from silver roots to a fantastic hybrid look.
Pros and Cons
Those who are more nervous about going silver, want a more gradual transition, or want to keep their length while avoiding the sometimes-obvious grow-out line, may choose this popular method.
Using professionals means this method can be more expensive (and longer) than others.
You'll likely need multiple salon treatments over a year or more to maintain the balance between silver and dyed hair.
But a subtle and gradual transition allows enough time to acclimate throughout your journey.
You'll also have the chance to see what you think of silver right away, as your silver color will be mixed with the rest of your hair.
Like it? Great, keep going! Don't like it? No problem, it's easy to go back to what you had before or try a completely different method.
With any of these tricks, every woman can gracefully wear her journey to silver hair at any age.
At Luc Vincent, we've designed specific products for silver hair. This includes our purple Sans Yellow shampoo and conditioner that protect and increase shine.
These products neutralize yellow tones on blonde, silver, or white hair for both ladies and gentlemen (hair and beards).
Unlike other similar products, Sans Yellow can be used every day without leaving purple reflections in the hair.
It helps prevent brittle hair, preserves color intensity between services, and moisturizes hair without weighing it down.
