What Are the White Hair Solutions?

Struggling with grey hair? This blog offers three effective solutions to either camouflage or complement your white strands.

  1. White Hair Solution using Temporary Hair Colour Spray: Temporary root touch-up sprays provide instant grey coverage and easily wash out.
  2. White Hair Solution using Permanent Hair Colour: Permanent hair colour offers long-lasting, uniform colour from root to tip with excellent grey coverage.
  3. White Hair Solution using Highlights and Lowlights: Highlights and lowlights blend grey hair by adding depth and dimension, requiring less maintenance and being gentler on your hair.

3 Effective Grey or White Hair Solutions You Can Try

Here are some expert-approved solutions for grey hair that will help camouflage or complement your white strands:

1. White Hair Solution using Temporary Hair Colour Spray

Root touch-up is the most convenient and quick solution for grey hair. It’s easy to apply, offers instant grey coverage, and is available in various shades to match different hair colours. What’s more! Since it’s a temporary hair colour, it washes easily with shampoo and helps space out hair colouring sessions.

Consider using a root concealer spray to camouflage grey hairs in seconds for flawless roots. It's lightweight, no-transfer, temporary formula perfectly blends with your natural hair colour.

2. White Hair Solution using Permanent Hair Colour

You can use permanent hair colour to cover grey hair. It’s a common and probably the most popular solution for grey hair. Permanent hair dye penetrates the hair shaft, modifies the hair’s structure, initiates a chemical reaction to deliver the desired colour result, and provides long-lasting results. Permanent hair colour offers unmatched grey coverage, ensuring a uniform colour from root to tip.

Choose the best hair colour for grey hair (like darkest brow, natural brown, black) from the Casting Crème Gloss Ultra Visible Hair Colour and Excellence Crème range by L'Oréal Paris. The advanced technologies cover grey hair while the no-ammonia formula ensures hair health is intact.

3. White Hair Solution using Highlights and Lowlights

Transform your white hair look with different types of highlights and lowlights. These techniques add depth and dimension to your hair by blending grey hair. Use lighter or darker shades of hair colour and strategically apply around grey hair to create visual contrast. These are low-maintenance hair colouring techniques and allow you to go for natural transitions without overdoing it. What’s more! Highlights or lowlights are less harsh on hair as you don’t need to apply colour all over your hair.

Pro Tip: Consult a stylist to understand the best hair colour for grey and placement. You can choose a partial highlight or lowlight for less maintenance.

We hope this guide has provided you with the effective white hair solutions you were looking for.  Choose from temporary or permanent hair dye types, select whether you want to add lowlights or highlights to create a flattering all-over salt-and-pepper effect. Remember, you can always choose to flaunt your natural grey colour or camouflage it, or style it in a way that complements your natural features. The choice is YOURS!
