With its metallic and glossy shades, grey hair is fascinating, on both mature muses - like the inimitable Helen Mirren or Jamie Lee Curtis - and ingenues - from Billie Eilish to Winnie Harlow. Obtaining (and maintaining) cool grey hair without a hairdresser’s help, however, can be difficult.

The main issue with maintaining - natural or coloured - grey hair is dealing with warm reflects. In the case of natural grey, as we age the production of melanin is interrupted and the hair turns white, with warm tones. Formerly light hair is at risk from yellow tones, while formerly dark hair tends to turn copper.
Coloured hair also faces the same type of risk: due to the effect of the sun and other elements, cosmetic colour can gradually become warmer. To counter the yellow, it’s fundamental to use the services of a professional salon that can give you the cool-toned colour that best suits you. Once back home, remember to use shampoosand conditionerswith pigments that “cool down” the colour.
For a healthy and glossy grey, it’s not enough to let the hair grow and stop colouring it.
Your hairdresser can be a great help in the transition to grey by using natural cool tones, such as those that are guaranteed with our professional Mask with Vibrachrom
Cool Intense Natural.
The second fundamental step is using a shampoo with blue/purple pigments, such as Alchemic Silver Shampoo.
This shampoo counters the yellow reflects caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to the sun or smog, or bleaching.
To close the circle, we advise you to enhance cool reflects by also applying Alchemic Silver Conditioner.
After rinsing the shampoo, apply the conditioner throughout the hair, distributing it evenly. Leave on for 5 minutes, comb and then rinse.
