As hair ages, its structure changes and reacts to color differently than younger hair. When dyeing your hair, this affects both the adhesion of the color, its duration and the final result.
Although hair graying is individual, there are a few essential points to consider when coloring your hair.
– When dyeing, gray hair behaves differently. Hair quality often also changes with graying, it can be either glassy hard and resistant or soft and porous, comments master hairdresser and Yamk representative Nina Hemminki.

– If you want to completely cover gray hair, it requires the right choice of color. Full coverage is achieved from oxygen dyes with permanent dyes, he specifies.
– Of course tinting, striping and multi-tone techniques fade gray hair beautifully and softly without strict basal growth, but you also have to be careful with tinting so that there are no surprises and some color pigment is undesirably highlighted.
As the hair ages, it becomes either more porous or thicker, in which case the end result of coloring may not be as desired. Pictured is Ricky Martin. All Over Press
Hemminki reminds us that hair coloring habits adopted when we were younger change over time.
– Those familiar and used hair dyeing methods cannot be followed throughout life. Just as the skin tone changes, so does the hair. For this reason, coloring and toning plans must always be made according to the current situation.
