Gray locks are no reason to panic!
The moment has arrived: you have discovered your first gray hair. Reason for panic? Absolutely not! It may take some getting used to, but instead of worrying, you can embrace the gray hair. Everyone goes gray at some point, including the royals! Caroline, the Princess of Monaco, shows that you really don’t have to hide your gray locks. Watson Anthony, editor-in-chief of Hairstyle Camp, gives some advice to keep you looking youthful just like Caroline – even with gray hair!
Paint, paint, paint
Oh no! You have discovered your first gray hair. Of course we understand that this can scare you. Still, it’s best to resign yourself to it and embrace the gray hair. Do you find it annoying that part of your hair is gray? And you don’t really like letting it grow out? The solution is very simple. You simply dye the rest of your hair the same color gray! Make sure you don’t see any yellow tones through your gray locks. Do you see this? Then an anti-yellowing shampoo can work wonders, according to Watson.
Long hair
Women often think that they have to put scissors on their beautiful locks when they get gray hair. But that’s not necessary at all! Gray long hair is just as beautiful as a colorful head of hair. And although gray hair is often associated with growing old, long gray hair actually makes you look younger. Of course you don’t have to let your hair grow extremely long for that youthful look, a long bob can also go a long way.
Leave-in conditioner
People with gray hair know the struggle: if your colored locks make way for a gray mane, your hair dries out faster. And you guessed it: gray, dry hair can make you look a lot older. If you also start to notice that your gray hair looks dry, Watson recommends using a good leave-in conditioner. This way you hydrate your hair and ensure that it remains soft and supple.
Styling
How you style your gray hair also has a major influence on your look. Watson advises to keep experimenting with different looks and to respond to the trend of the moment. Above all, you should not be afraid and take risks. According to Watson, you shouldn’t let your age hold you back. A messy bun, a ponytail or a beautiful braid, the choice is endless!
