Everything about dyeing your hair gray! 

Whether on Instagram or in everyday life, it’s impossible to miss: young people and adults dyeing their hair gray. It’s a real trend.

During the COVID pandemic, visiting a hair salon is no longer so straightforward. It’s only natural that many of us are inclined to take matters into our own hands. Of course, this needs to be done very carefully to achieve the best results. To help you, we at JohnBeerens.com have put together all the information and tips you need!

Intensely gray locks in 3 steps

Step 1. Bleach

The process of bleaching your hair depends on your hair color. Before bleaching your hair, it’s very important that you haven’t dyed or bleached it for several months. Previous bleaching can be very damaging to your hair.
Bleaching turns your hair yellow. Don’t panic! The purple tones in the dye will correct this later.

Step 2. Time to dye!

Before you start dyeing your hair, it’s important to read the instructions on the packaging carefully. Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to start! Follow all the steps and work carefully for the best results.

Depending on the hair dye you choose, apply a few layers of dye to your bleached locks. Leave the dye in for as long as indicated in the instructions, then rinse it out thoroughly. For the best results, wash your locks right away with shampoo and conditioner. This closes the hair cuticles, giving your hair a beautiful shine.

Step 3. Care for your gray locks

As with any hair color, dyed or otherwise, the color can fade or change after several washes. To enjoy an intense, well-cared-for color for as long as possible, it’s essential to care for and maintain your dyed locks properly. A good silver shampoo works wonders for your color, while the right conditioner leaves your hair smooth and shiny. At JohnBeerens.com, you’ll find special silver shampoos for gray and silver-gray hair that brighten and neutralize your hair color. There are also matching conditioners for gray hair to give your hair extra care and neutralize unwanted tones.

How can you best maintain gray hair?

As with any other hair color, silver-colored hair requires a lot of attention and care. You’ll spend more time caring for your gray locks than dyeing them. If you pay little or no attention to caring for your dyed hair, you’ll notice that the color quickly starts to look dull. The color becomes less intense, and your hair can get very dry. The hair color can also oxidize, giving your hair a warm, yellowish hue. Of course, we don’t want that! To prevent this, we’ve put together a list of products to help you maintain your shiny gray hairstyle.

Silver shampoo

A good silver shampoo is a must-have for maintaining blonde, light, or gray hair. Bleached or dyed hair can quickly develop orange or yellow tones. That’s not what you want, of course. The right silver shampoo can help remove these unwanted tones while strengthening and caring for your hair.

The Waterclouds Violet Silver Shampoo is an excellent choice for neutralizing unwanted tones. This silver shampoo contains violet pigments that neutralize unwanted yellow tones in both blonde and gray hair. It is also enriched with Sea Lavender and Provitamin B5, which soothe the hair and protect it from drying out.

Conditioner

Unfortunately, shiny, healthy hair doesn’t happen by itself. Using a conditioner is an essential step. Coloring your hair can make it very dry. Conditioner nourishes your hair by replenishing essential nutrients and restoring its moisture balance. To enhance the results of silver shampoo, the Waterclouds Violet Silver Conditioner is the perfect addition to your hair care routine. This nourishing conditioner neutralizes yellow tones in blonde and gray hair. It also makes your hair easier to manage and leaves it smooth. Used together with the Waterclouds Silver Shampoo, this conditioner gives your hair a cooler look and leaves your gray locks shiny and free of unwanted tones. In short, this combination is a must-have in your hair care routine!
