The hair stylist explains which products to use to prevent hair from becoming yellow and lifeless
When the first gray hairs begin to appear, people often resort to toning or coloring to hide them, especially women, who are surrounded by taboos and social stigmas. However, a paradigm shift is underway.
The significant increase in searches for the term “gray hair” on Google and the growing number of personalities embracing their natural tone, such as Samara Felippo and Alexandra Hedison, highlight this transformation. More than simply hiding the signs of aging, embracing gray hair represents empowerment and a celebration of authentic beauty.
“The main difference a person will notice in gray hair is that it generally becomes coarser, drier and duller. This happens because hair is made up of melanin and keratin. Melanin is responsible for leaving hair soft, hydrated and shiny. Keratin, to keep hair strong. When we lose these substances, it is common to notice these changes in texture and appearance”, comments Marília Tambasco, hairdresser and Keune ambassador.
In this context, the specialist shares her experience and offers valuable advice for the special care of gray hair. Watch!
1. Use specific products for gray hair
One of the main difficulties of silver threads is to keep the color vibrant and beautiful, as the tendency is for the tone to start to turn yellow. “This tip may seem a little obvious, but it’s important to remember that it’s important to have products at home that help neutralize color,” explains Marília Tambasco.
According to her, purple pigment is one of those that help keep gray hair in a beautiful and modern tone, without that yellowish look. “Also invest in products that contain hydrolyzed wheat protein and provitamin B5, for example, which will help maintain hair strength and softness, which are usually compromised,” she recommends.
two. Use without rinsing with sunscreen
Protect your hair from sun damage, especially during outdoor activities or trips to the beach. To do this, use a leave-in product with sunscreen to avoid yellowing and dryness caused by UV rays.
3. Hydrate regularly
Gray hair has a natural tendency to be coarser and drier due to the loss of melanin. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a hydration routine at least once a week. According to the professional, it is advisable to use hydrating masks and specific conditioners to restore the softness and shine of the hair and regularly visit salons for even more targeted services.
4. Avoid heat sources
Minimize the use of heat tools, such as dryers, straighteners and curling irons. “Excessive heat can damage the structure of the hair, making it more prone to breakage and dryness, damaging the appearance of gray hair. If you use it, never forget the thermal protectant,” emphasizes Marília Tambasco.
