But calm down! It is important to know all the necessary precautions before adhering to white threads. Therefore, we spoke with Nathan Paschoal, hairdresser at the Jacques Janine salon, to give some tips on how to care for white hair . The idea is to make the transition to gray lighter. Check out!

White hair care to facilitate the transition

Disguise the root to minimize contrast

Of course, one of the most complex parts of the transition process is the period when the natural white hair is growing, creating a huge gap between the root and the rest of the strand, which is still colored with some color. In the beginning you can still disguise it, but a good tip in these cases is to bet on the highlights. Pigmentation can help to blend the two parts, making the look more harmonious.

Avoid yellowing of the wires

The silver tone can turn yellow very easily if it does not receive the necessary attention. It is noteworthy that leaving the hair natural is not synonymous with carelessness. To keep the strands white and neutralize them with other shades, specific shampoos for gray/blond with gray or violet pigments are indicated. The application is normally done every 15 days.

Hydration is essential

Many people don't know, but melanin (which is responsible for hair color) also ends up harming the softness of the hair. Therefore, it is extremely important to moisturize even more gray and white hair, as they have a greater tendency to dry out.

Attention to external agents

Also because of the dryness and the rebellious strands, it is essential to avoid as much as possible hair dryers, curling irons and flat irons. All this to prevent the locks from becoming brittle, always remaining healthy. If you really enjoy the result brought by these devices, apply at least some finishing product with thermal protection, to minimize the damage caused.

Protect your locks from the sun

In addition to being harmful to the skin, the sun's rays also damage the hair, being able to even compromise the health of the hair. The sun also enhances the yellowing effect of white threads, so a golden tip is to invest in hats and caps when outdoors. The good good news is that your look will look even more stylish with the accessories.

Choose the short ones

Simpler to care for, short hair is also easier to keep hydrated. That's because, the longer the hair, the harder it is for the scalp's natural oils to reach the ends. In addition, this type of cut is gaining more prominence, helping to create a modern look. Enjoy!
