Q&A
Whether you fully embrace the greys of prefer covering them, we’re here to guide you! Here are a few tips from the pros if you’ve chosen the second option!
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOURING: A REAL HEADACHE
There are colouring lines designed to meet the specific needs of white hair. The Igora Royal Absolutes by Schwarzkopf line is a good example. Its formula features an exclusive Pro-Age Complex, which covers mature hair 100%.
Since this line does not contain all shades, here is a “mathematical” solution:
With some brands, the double numbering indicates added pigment, meaning greater covering power. For example, if you’re in the habit of using a Schwarzkopf Igora Royal 5-0 colouring, you can now use the 5‑00 tube.
The same is true for Aloxxi and Wella colourings. No more headaches!
PROPER APPLICATION – MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU MIGHT THINK
At-home colour application requires precision and following instructions, especially for white hair, which is thus porous and temperamental. Pause time and quantity of peroxide are both key to colouring efficiency.
TOUCH-UPS BETWEEN COLOURINGS
Between colourings, instant touch-ups are very important. Whether your favourite product is a spray, powder, mascara or stick, this will let you space out your colourings so that your hair’s fibres don’t take a beating!
USING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS
The choice of daily hair care must be adapted to your hair’s needs. There are products formulated for dry hair, curly hair and damaged hair. So, why not for aging hair? Look for densifying and fortifying products to rejuvenate the hair’s fibre. Alterna caviar lines offer exactly what coloured and aging hair may require.
Now you can forget all about the anguish that comes with your first white hair!
