oh the gray hair video the gray hair
video she has been highly requested by
you and today we're finally going to do
it
yeah this is one of my favorite topics
[Music]
it can be a massive challenge when your
Grays start coming in and I think the
first instinct we have is to hide it
those whites are making me look older
you start by plucking them out I know
you do don't even lie plucking phase
quickly turns to 20 then 50 then 75 and
then you're all white baby you're all
white I'm not opposed to dyeing them my
grandma dyed her hair every four weeks
until she was like 85 or something it
just made her feel better but here's the
thing the more gray you are the more you
see that regrowth line and the faster
you see it so you go to the salon you
spend a fortune three weeks later there
it is again and then you do it again and
again and again and again and again and
again it's not only time consuming but
it's also really expensive so some
people turn to box dye no judgment here
but then what can happen is it can lead
to inchiness dryness and even a lack of
multi-tonal quality the hair can become
a little bit flat in color the struggle
is real honestly in the last few years
going ashy like mushroom Brown which was
a huge Trend going platinum and even
silver became massively trendy and I
love that so many people have started to
embrace their natural gray color because
it's kind of the perfect way to get out
of that cycle of dying bleaching and
then just endlessly fighting against
aging the biggest piece of advice that I
have for you if you're looking at
transitioning out of coloring your hair
is to start by ashing out your hair
mistake number one is having a warm hair
color contrasting with your gray hair
warm toned Browns like Chestnut and even
warm toned blondes like honey are a
massive contrast to gray because they
are tonally opposite there are warm
colors and there are cool colors and
gray is cool so if you put it beside
something warm it looks really bad so if
your hair is a warm milk chocolate brown
for example and then your Grays come in
there will be a huge contrast and that
is all your eye will focus on so a great
option for you is to start transitioning
your hair into a color like mushroom
Brown and even mixing Ash Gray
highlights with deep Brown ashy low
lights essentially what you need to do
is have some gray blending going on and
the way that you do that is by mixing
various dark and light ashy Shades to
blend the natural gray out I could
literally do an entire 10 minute video
about this so if you want more advice on
going gray with your color leave it in
the comment section below and I'll give
you some tips and tricks on that today I
want to focus on taking care of gray
hair so that it looks amazing I have
seen clients with gray hair where it's
very dry wiry yellowed out and even
frizzy and then I have clients where
it's absolutely stunning today my friend
Christina is in the studio Christina's
hair is Virgin Hair she has never
colored it and I don't even know what to
say about it who's girl crushing on
Christina right now and why is Christina
not famous why is Christina not famous
honestly being that beautiful should be
a crime so this is what you look like oh
natural in our before shot still
freaking beautiful as always I did her
makeup off camera and then I worked on
transforming that gorgeous head of hair
a gray hair mistake number two is not
incorporating a purple shampoo into your
hair care routine gray hair can get a
yellow tinge to it very quickly and
that's because the hair itself contains
little to no pigment so it can pick up
pigments in the actual environment if
your shampoo has a yellow tinge to it
that could do it and even Sunshine can
do it so wearing a hat when it's very
bright outside is a great idea it will
really really minimize the yellowing of
the hair if you wear a hat though and
the hair still does yellow you can
easily tone it from home with this
strong purple shampoo purple is the
opposite color on the color wheel to
Yellow so it will neutralize it and turn
it back to Silver if you're doing this
from home you can even get out of the
shower and leave that purple shampoo on
for like 20 minutes if you really want a
powerful result you do not want to use
purple shampoo too often though because
if there is nothing to neutralize your
hair can actually take on a bit of a
lilac tone it can also tend to be a
little bit dehydrating purple shampoo
can dry out the hair and that brings me
to mistake number three mistake number
three is not properly hydrating your
hair gray hair has a different texture
because it's lost a lot of pigment or
melanin and the hair follicle doesn't
produce as much oil oil Works to hydrate
the hair that's why gray hair often can
feel coarse dry and even wiry but
products can help substantially to
offset this problem the most beautiful
and hydrating shampoo and condition that
I've ever used is by a brand that I
never even heard of before they are
called Goldilocks they sent me their
products and I tested it and I instantly
fell in love I even talked about it in
this completely non-sponsored other
video they are super hydrating but also
super light it's very bizarre actually
because normally hydrating products can
lead to weight and heaviness in the hair
and this just doesn't this really really
feels like luxury hair care and it is so
you want to use your purple shampoo once
or twice a week and then the rest of the
week you need to use a really hydrating
shampoo and conditioner like the
Goldilocks Ultra hydrating signature
shampoo and conditioner set mistake
number four is skipping out on treatment
masks how many people in the comments
section do a treatment mask once a week
I am using the Goldilocks Ultra
hydrating signature hair mask on
Christina and that is because it is
super rich in vitamins proteins fatty
acids and antioxidants so it repairs
restores and really softens dry hair
another tip I have for you here is to
put your treatment mask under Heat this
will open the cuticle layer up and we'll
get the conditioner Down Deeper it makes
it work a lot better obviously you guys
don't have a hooded dryer at home but
you can purchase these microwavable heat
caps that are also awesome I use those
on myself all the time I'm going to
leave a link to all of the products in
the description box below as I always do
in case you want to go check it out
mistake number five is destroying your
hair with heat gray hair can actually be
quite fragile so you want to use the
proper prep products and go easy on the
heat styling to add that extra hydration
back into Christina's hair I started
with the Goldilocks leave-in conditioner
because it strengthens the hair fights
frizz and enhances shine and then I
followed It Up With The Star product
here which is the signature serum this
gives really deep hydration and
nourishment but it also protects from
breakage and from UV damage which is
awesome this stuff is seriously so good
it provides humidity resistance adds
shine and just makes your hair look
really soft and really really nice
alright so instead of blowing her hair
out and waving it like I normally do I
decided to use my Dyson air wrap on her
this is one step instead of two I'm
waving and drying at the same time so
this is a very interesting hot tool and
a few years ago I made a whole video
about it going over every attachment and
what it does I will leave that video in
the pinned comment in case you guys are
interested in watching it I do have
mixed feelings about the Dyson air wrap
Christine Tina also has the Dyson air
wrap and she has some mixed feelings
about it because it doesn't hold the
curl very well if you're interested in a
whole review and updated review on that
let me know again in the comments and
I'll totally do it for you the best
thing about it though other than the
fact that it's very unique is that you
are significantly minimizing your heat
damage with this tool it has very
controlled heat it works well and the
technology really ensures that you are
not frying your hair is it the perfect
hot tool I don't think so is it a little
overrated I think so but is it a unique
and impressive hot tool also yes mistake
number six that I often see made is not
adding any type of supplement to your
hair care routine your hair really is a
reflection of what is going on
internally and as women age over 50
percent notice that their hair is
thinning Goldilocks has an awesome
supplement for this there are some
amazing reviews about it I've been using
it personally every day for a month and
I've already noticed more energy my
nails are much stronger they're growing
a lot faster my skin is really glowing
my hair looks great and really the
results with these things just get
better and better over time so if I'm
seeing results in one month I'm gonna
have like significantly better results
in three to six months if you are having
any issues with hair loss brittleness or
you feel like your skin looks sallow
take a look at this supplement because I
really feel like this could help
oftentimes supplementation is like The
Missing Link when you're going through
Beauty issues and it's something very
simple to try just to see if you end up
getting results and I mean most of the
time you do and there you have it her
hair is bright it's super shiny it's
soft yet voluminous it's everything that
you could want really if you want to
learn more about the Dyson go ahead and
check out this video next I'll catch you
guys next week bye
