One gets a beautiful metallic color when white hair and gray hair are subtly confused. The more white hair is, the more flaming the gray.

What if I do not have enough white hair?

A little blow of white is necessary. The hairdresser discolored some wicks which he isolated from the rest of the hair with silver paper. To pepper the whole and give the shine, one can finish with a frozen flow (of the white with a hint of gray) of coloring on tone. Conversely, if the hair is too "salt" , the hairdresser will "pepper" them to give more depth to the color. This by practicing a medium chest sweep across the entire hair to create a nice gray while transparent.

The advice of Silver Boll , communication and training manager Schwarzkopf: "When we opt for a return to gray hair on already colored hair, we must wait two months, time they grow a little. Looking at the roots, the hairdresser will see if the white hair is harmoniously distributed. "

I adopt the right shampoo
"The problem with white hair is their tendency to yellow," explains Mireille Miroglio, director of training at René Furterer. The oxidation and decomposition of the amino acids which constitute keratin cause the appearance of yellow reflections. This phenomenon is accentuated by the heat of the dryer, the UV, the chlorine and the baths at sea or in swimming pool. Hence the interest of using shampoos that dejaunish the hair. They contain blue or purple pigments that neutralize unsightly glints.

Namely : their pause time should not exceed 3 minutes .

"Deprived of melanin, gray hair quickly become soft and brittle. This is also due to an insufficient hydrolipidic film and an intercellular cement that no longer ensures the cohesion of hair cells between them, "notes Nathalie Grosser, technical director of L'Oréal's professional products. To give them back the body, the pros are unanimous: nothing like a anti-aging treatment without rinsing gorged with active ingredients like wheat proteins toning and restructuring.
