Your white hair deserves the best. Discover all our simple and effective tips to highlight them.
Have you decided to stop coloring to finally assume your immaculate hair? Welcome to a new hair world! A world that advocates naturalness, but also modernity and elegance. Because, yes, white hair is definitely trendy.
But beware, depigmented hair requires special maintenance. Devoid of melanin and low in keratin (the production of this molecule decreases with age), they are more fragile and brittle than naturally colored hair. They may then appear rough and lacking in shine. They also tend to yellow if they are too exposed to external aggressions (sun, pollution, chlorine). How to take care of it on a daily basis? How to highlight them for a chic and sophisticated look? We tell you everything for gray hair at the top.
1/ Use anti-yellowing treatments
Over time and because of external aggressions (sun, pollution, chlorine, etc.), white hair has the unfortunate tendency to turn yellow. To neutralize these unsightly reflections, you will need to use shampoos and masks enriched with purple and blue pigments that eliminate yellow tones. For a visible effect, be sure to apply your yellowing treatment correctly: after washing your hair with your usual shampoo, rinse and wring your hair as much as possible. Distribute one to two hazelnuts of product (depending on your hair length) over the entire head, lightly crumpling each strand to make the treatment penetrate well. Respect the exposure time specified on the instructions and then rinse.
2/ Hydrate your lengths regularly
Due to the absence of melanin, white hair is more fragile, dry and brittle. To compensate, pamper your hair with oil baths and nourishing masks. In particular, invest in treatments enriched with keratin, a protein naturally present in the hair fiber which tends to decrease with age. Finally, remember to space out your shampoos: too frequent washing weakens the scalp and eventually dries out your hair.
3/ Rinse your hair with vinegar
This is a trick that is not new but which continues to prove itself. To find radiant white hair, apply a little cider vinegar (preferably organic) to the lengths from time to time. It removes limescale and boosts hair luminosity.
4/ Find the right haircut
To give pep to immaculate hair, nothing better than a modern and trendy haircut. Short bob, long layered hair, boyish haircut… There are no rules or haircuts to choose from, the important thing is to find the hair look that best matches your personality and best suits your face shape. To do this, don’t hesitate to ask your hairstylist for advice and take inspiration from our slideshows.
5/ Cut your tips often
The ends of your white hair are more quickly split and brittle. To keep your hair beautiful, healthy, you will need to cut it more regularly. No need to sacrifice your lengths, one to two centimeters cut every three months or so is enough.
