Do you like your gray hair?
In today's video, you will learn some natural tips to keep your gray hairs looking good.
Having gray hair was once a big taboo, especially among women.
There was a time when women were recommended to dye their hair as soon as the first gray
appeared.
However, in the last few years, embracing your grays has become a trend.
When we talk about having gray hair, men are usually more privileged since their grays
were always seen as a sign of maturity and charm, while women were seen as untidy.
But having a beautiful and natural look doesn't always mean growing and dying your hair, right?
Did you know that gray hair is more fragile?
So, let's check out some valuable tips to take care of your grays and also for the transition
process.
Be patient Many people decide to embrace their new look
once they notice their hair is turning gray.
However, the transition can take a while.
To deal with that and avoid the bi-color effect, adopting a shorter hairstyle can help.
Another alternative is to, little by little, adjust the color of your hair until the grays
take over.
Be careful when brushing Gray hair is very delicate.
One of the main cares is to be gentle when brushing it.
Prefer wooden, wide-toothed combs, which will avoid breakage.
Remember to always detangle from the tips upwards.
After untangling your hair, comb it from the roots to the tips, but be gentle.
If you prefer brushes, choose one with natural bristles.

Get rid of the yellow in your hair Using products specific to your hair type
is the key to keep your locks always beautiful and healthy.
Gray hair usually gets yellow, which ruins your look.
But you can avoid that and guarantee shiny, gray hairs by using purple shampoo and conditioner
made for gray hairs.
These products have properties that avoid the yellow tones caused by sun exposure.
Alternate the use of these products with others that are highly hydrating and antioxidant
since the continued use of toning products may leave your hair violet and lifeless.
Protect them from the sun, seawater, and pools Avoid exposing your gray hair directly to
the sun, as it can get yellow.
Wear hats, caps, or a headscarf.
If possible, choose hair products that contain SPF.
And remember to double your attention to sea and pool water since they can damage the hair
and turn them green.
Wear a swimming cap to avoid getting your hair wet, and always wash your hair after
getting out of the pool or sea.
Don't use too many heating accessories Hairdryers, curling irons, or flatirons may
cause breakage when used in excess.
Avoid them whenever possible.
And when you use any of these tools, don't forget to apply a heat protectant to your
hair beforehand.
Intensify the hydration and humectation of your gray hairs
Hydration is important for all types of hair, but even more so for gray hair.
Invest in a deeply hydrating conditioner and do a deep hydration every 7 or 10 days.
Watch the video in this card to learn how to hydrate your hair at home, naturally.
Sometimes, only hydrating isn't enough for gray hairs.
So, to make sure you will be looking good and fresh, bet on humectation.
A good humectating recipe for your hair is:
1 tablespoon coconut or almond oil; 1 coffee spoon olive oil;
Warm the ingredients, then apply the mixture over your hair without washing it.
Avoid applying the oils on your roots (otherwise, your hair will get oily).
Let it act for 2 hours.
Then, wash your hair, use a conditioner, and let it dry.
It is recommended humectating your hair every 15 days to avoid increasing the oiliness in
your hair.
Oh, have you ever heard that plucking a gray hair makes another one grow in its place?
While it isn't 100% true, there is a certain truth to that.
There is no reason to pluck your gray hair, especially if your idea is to embrace them.
So, don't do that, okay?
While it is tempting, it is important not to make a hunt-and-pluck fest over your head.
Plucking hair may cause inflammation in the roots and also damage the follicles, making
your hair thinner.
Did you know that?
Also, other gray hairs will keep growing, so plucking them becomes a senseless job,
right?
