Have you noticed an abundance of gray hair popping up? Is your hair coming in gray at the roots? Luckily, these days gray hair is fashionable! If you’re ready to embrace your gray hair but aren’t excited about the awkward transition phase, try using wigs for an easy and smooth transition to gray.
The Pros of Going Gray with Wigs
Wigs are a great option for women who can’t or don’t want to transition to gray with hair dyes. Some people are allergic to hair dyes, can’t use them for medical reasons, or don’t want to regularly go to the salon for touch-ups. Frequent dying can also damage your hair.
If your hair is coming in gray at the roots, you may see a demarcation line (your hair is gray on top and colored on the bottom. Some people may choose to simply cut their hair short to transition to gray, but for those who don’t want a super short haircut, wigs are a great alternative.
Another benefit of transitioning to gray with wigs is that it gives you time to get comfortable with your gray hair. You can wear wigs until you feel comfortable enough to rock your beautiful gray hair.
Choosing Wigs for the Transition to Gray
You can of course go straight to a gray wig. There are beautiful gray wigs available in many shades, but wigs are also great for creating a subtle transition to gray hair. For a more gradual change, periodically change your wig to lighter and lighter colors and work your way to gray.
There are also many wigs with gray blends that look very natural, like a brown hair wig with grays peppered throughout. These blended wigs are available in all colors with varying densities of gray hair.
To retain some styling freedom while you wear a wig, choose lace wigs that you can pull up and support a variety of hairstyles. If you only plan to use wigs while you transition to gray hair, consider using synthetic wigs since they are less expensive. If you don’t want a full wig, try a topper that clips into your hair offering partial or semi-full coverage.
