Gray hair tends to be stubborn when you try to cover it up. If you don’t use the right kind of dye and follow the right process, you might find grey streaks and strands still left in your hair after dyeing.<\/p>\n
In this hair dyeing guide, we explain how to go from grey to blond. We discuss what happens if you put blonde dye on grey hair and give you some tips on how to color and style your grey or white hair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With many hair colors, you can\u2019t just apply a certain dye like blonde on it and expect hair to change to that color. Color pigments interact to create new colors, so you might get unwanted results.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not the case with naturally grey hair. Because it contains almost no color pigments, applying blonde dye on it will turn it blonde. The same is true for naturally white hair, which has no color pigments at all.<\/p>\n
However,<\/strong> this applies only if you have 100% grey or white hair. If you still have some black, brown or yellow tones in your hair, you could get different results.<\/p>\n Another exception is if your grey hair comes from dyeing. In that case, the dye and your natural hair color (e.g. red<\/a>) could interact with the blonde dye to create unexpected results<\/a>.<\/p>\n In both these cases – where your hair is not completely grey and where you have dyed grey hair – you cannot just put blonde dye on your hair. There are some steps you need to take before you use the dye.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a step by step process for going from grey (or white) to blonde.<\/p>\n The first step is to figure out exactly how grey your hair is. Depending on your age and genetics, your level of grey can range from \u2018bits of grey starting to appear at the roots\u2019 to \u2018a full head of grey\u2019.<\/p>\n There are so many other variations in between these extremes. You might have only 25% or 50% of your hair that\u2019s grey.<\/p>\n Knowing how much grey hair you have is important in choosing the style and dye for your hair.<\/p>\n For instance, if you have grey on just your roots, you can forgo the dye completely and use root concealer instead. If you have 25% grey, you can opt for highlights that preserve the grey hair while creating a beautiful style.<\/p>\n If your hair is partially grey, you can get away with using semi-permanent dye instead of permanent dye.<\/p>\n The next step is deciding what kind of blonde dye you want.<\/p>\n First, determine if you need semi-permanent, demi-permanent or permanent hair dye. The best choice depends<\/a> on the level of grey in your hair and how much grey you want to cover up.<\/p>\n If you have about 30% or less grey hair (or if you only want to cover 30% of your grey hair to create highlights), a semi-permanent dye is perfect.<\/p>\n Because semi-permanent dye only coats your hair, it doesn’t contain bleach or hydrogen peroxide. This makes it less damaging to your hair compared to permanent dye.<\/p>\n If you have up to 70% grey hair (or if you want between 30 and 70% of your grey hair), go for a demi-permanent hair dye. It provides better grey coverage and it\u2019s safer for your hair since it also doesn’t contain peroxide or bleach.<\/p>\n If you have mostly or completely grey hair and you want to cover it all up, a permanent hair dye is the only one that can do that.<\/p>\n Permanent dye contains hydrogen peroxide, so it\u2019ll do some damage to your hair. On the upside, it takes a lot longer to fade compared to semi and demi permanent dyes. It\u2019s also more effective at hiding grey hair.<\/p>\nHow To Dye Natural Grey Hair Blonde<\/h2>\n
