How to Transition From Black to Gray Hair

As you grow older, you may consider whether to allow your black hair to naturally turn gray. Transitioning from black to gray hair is a wonderful way to grow older with grace. Gray hair is naturally beautiful and flattering, and the transition from black to gray doesn't have to be an awkward, unattractive in-between phase. A few simple steps can help you transform your hair from black to a lovely gray. Gray hair will be easier and less costly to care for, making this a worthwhile transformation.

Instructions

Incorporate a moisture rich shampoo and conditioner into your hair care routine. Keeping your hair and scalp as healthy and moisturized as possible will make the transition from black hair to gray hair easier by smoothing the hair cuticle so all the hair strands blend in together nicely.

Cut your hair as short as is flattering to your face shape. This way, the new gray strands don't take quite as long to reach the same length as the black hair strands.

Ask a stylist to highlight your hair, or do it yourself at home with a home hair coloring kit. This is optional, but if you add a few dark brown highlights to your black hair, the new gray hairs will blend in a little better. You could also highlight gray into your hair which essentially speeds up the transition.

Style your hair gently to avoid breakage. Gray hairs are physically different than your black hairs because they are more coarse and more prone to breakage. By minimizing harsh styling with curling irons and hot hairdryers, you'll minimize your risk of having awkward, broken-off gray strands.

Brush your hair with a boar bristle brush rather than one with plastic bristles. Boar bristle brushes more evenly distribute the natural oils of your scalp throughout your hair. Gray hairs are especially susceptible to dryness and breakage, and there's no better moisturizers than your scalp's own natural oils.
