The number one reason gen X clients go to the salon is to cover grey hair, hoping to achieve subtle, natural, flawless coverage. It’s an individual choice and there’s no right or wrong – in fact, more and more clients are embracing their greys – but for those who do want to blend them away, there are plenty of options to try. For up to 70% gray coverage: Opt for demi-permanent Color Touch or Color Touch Plus. These dreamy demis create a glossy color result in an array of blonde hues, and last for up to 24 washes. A nourishing collection of 12 ammonia-free toners. Formulated with Argan Oil and Vitamin E to care as they colour the hair. Next, apply the root coverage, making sure you saturate the regrowth area with your client’s chosen shade. Allow color to develop for 40 minutes (or up to 25 minutes under heat), then shampoo and neutralize. To revive lengths and ends, finish with a glossing service for soft tone and a boost of shine.For lift and color in one: For super-blonde color that lifts and tones, use Koleston Perfect Special Blondes; a range of high lift hues that should be mixed 1:2 with Welloxon Perfect. Use 9% developer for three levels of lift, and 12% for three to five levels of lift. 4. Start Where Gray is Most Prominent

When applying blonde color to regrowth, you should always start where the gray is most prominent. Targeting the dense patches first means stubborn silver strays are exposed to the color or lightener for longer. 5. Use Heat to Speed Up the Process What type of coverage do they want? Find out if they’re hoping for a soft blend or more opaque coverage. This is key before mixing up a formula, as it’s essential you choose the right colour product. With a low percentage of grays to cover and brassiness through the mid-lengths and ends, Elina set about creating blonde gray hair with an icy-cool finish. First, Blondor + 1.9% was used to brighten up the regrowth area, before Illumina Color 7 / + 7/81 + 1.9% and 10/69 + 10/1 + 8/96 + 1.9% was applied over the top. Those who want every last grey hair gone should turn to a permanent formula, as it offers complete coverage that doesn’t fade away. Suggest it to clients who hope to make silver strays vanish – it covers even the stubborn strands! – and mix 1:1 with our hair developer Welloxon Perfect to increase the intensity. 3. Lightener Once you’ve painted through the hair in balayage strokes, allow the roots, mid-lengths and ends to develop. Then, rinse and neutralize with Blondor Seal & Care to reveal soft, seamless, painterly color.You should always apply color to the most stubborn grey hairs first. As they’re more resistant to color, they’ll benefit from the extra development time. As well as choosing a hair lightener, finding the perfect product to cover regrowth is key. This is determined by the percentage of gray and your client’s desired look. While a demi-permanent or semi-permanent hair color can be applied to any level of grey, it’s often used to camouflage early greys, giving 30-70% coverage. The benefits of going semi- or demi-permanent are threefold: it provides a rich, true-to-tone finish, it fades beautifully, and it doesn’t leave a harsh demarcation line when roots grow out. 2.
