Ugly gray hair is something that both men and women try to avoid. But now with strides in color treatments and shampoos and conditioning products, you can embrace your whitening hair. Gray hair is in style now more than ever. One easy and less expensive ways to jump on this popular hair trends is to use a wig.
If you want to try gray hair without the commitment and expense of hair coloring, wigs are a convenient and affordable solution.
Transitioning to Gray
Most people agree that the Covid pandemic solidified gray as a trend that’s here to stay. During lockdowns, many women stopped coloring their hair because salons were closed and because they weren’t socializing. So, they looked at themselves and said “I think I would like to gray naturally and embrace my aging gracefully.” But they also decided that they wanted to do it beautifully as well.
Many women felt that the look was empowering and glamorous and began exploring how to transition to their natural color without the ugliness of roots and mismatched hair color. Well, they soon found out the way to do this properly, without sacrificing the aesthetics, was through correct professional hair coloring and that was expensive.
In order to get there, it takes a experienced stylist who is familiar with how to do it and then several appointments over time. If you go too fast or too cheap, your hair ends up damaged. According to Katie Emory, blogger, “Blending gray hair is no easy feat, and many hairdressers will just tell you “no” if you ask them for this color service. The ones who are confident enough to say yes usually come with a larger price tag.”
Going Gray with Wigs
It turns out that gray wigs are the solution. You can pick a beautiful style and color while underneath your hair is growing out naturally. Wigs are less expensive than dying your hair gray and they don’t damage your hair like dyes can.
If your hair is coming in gray at the roots, you will usually see a demarcation line where your hair is gray on top and colored on the bottom. It is not a good look. Instead of cutting your colored hair off and ending up sporting practically a crew cut, wigs in general, and gray wigs in particular, 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. They can also provide a subtle, natural transition to gray hair. Periodically change your wig to lighter and lighter colors and work your way to gray. You can wear wigs until you feel comfortable enough to rock your own beautiful gray hair.
And guess what? Once you’re naturally gray headed, you can use a wig whenever you feel like it to enjoy being a blonde, brunette or redhead.
