6\u00a0Tricks For Gorgeous Grays<\/h1>\n

By the looks of hair color commercials, your favorite magazines, and the most touted beauty advice, we\u2019re supposed to do one thing to our grays: cover them up. But why? Age-related pigment loss is an inevitable reality, but it\u2019s also a sign of experience, wisdom, and pure confidence. If only it were so easy to let it all go\u2014just surveying your group of girlfriends is enough proof that everyone\u2019s grays come in differently (some more graceful than others). If you have ever considering letting your grays start coming through, or taking the plunge to a striking all-silver \u2018do, consider this list\u2014along with an expert colorist\u2014your guide to the most gorgeous hair of your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR H2O?<\/h3>\n

For the shiniest silver hair there ever was, be aware of the water you are washing your hair with says Frank Friscioni, Co-Color Director of Oscar Blandi Salon in NYC and Owner and Partner of Frank Cassi Beauty in Palm Beach, Fl. \u201cDepending on where you live, the water can be hard or soft and contain a mixture of elements and minerals,\u201d he says. and \u201cCertain waters can dull out the gray and make it yellowish.\u201d Your best bet? Grab yourself a purifying shower-head (like T3 Source Shower-head Filter, $130 at Sephora.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T FORGET TO HIGHLIGHT<\/h3>\n

If your grays are coming in, you know this much is true: natural gray hair is actually a multitude of tones ranging from rich steel all the way to bright white. So if you are dying your hair or want to fill in the blanks around your grays, swap one all-over color for dynamic, multi-Tonal highlights, suggests Friscioni. You will achieve incredible texture and depth, while making everyone else do a double take.\u00a0When you go for those highlights, however, you should choose wisely. Highlight color choices should stay in the cool family of colors, staying away from any warm, brassy, or red tones!\u00a0 \u201cThey will interfere with the attractive salt-and-pepper look that everyone seems to want,\u201d Friscioni says.<\/p>\n

TRY A DIY CLARIFYING TREATMENT<\/h3>\n

If days of mousse, hairspray, and dry shampoo have left your strands with a lot less luster, go the DIY route and, once a month, consider using apple cider as shampoo. \u201cIt will take the build-up and residue off of the hair strands while brightening it up,\u201d says Friscioni.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/p>\n

REACH FOR SILVER SHAMPOO<\/h3>\n

Yep, we said it. Silver shampoos aim to neutralize brassy or yellow tones and make every shade of gray sparkle. Just be sure to keep this new beauty habit to twice a week\u2014silver shampoos can overgrab and leave you with a bluish \u2018do. Try Matrix So Silver Shampoo ($9, Walgreens<\/a>).<\/p>\n

CREATE A COLOR SAVING SUN SHIELD<\/h3>\n

Ultraviolet radiation and environmental pollutants can make any <\/i>hair color\u2014from the richest reds to the most neutral grays\u2014appear duller, faster. Choose a color-saving shampoo rich in antioxidants (like Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo $4, drugstores) and give your grays a spritz with a leave-in UV protectant spray (like Ouidad Sun & Sport Leave-In Conditioner) to help keep the elements out while you enjoy a little sun time.<\/p>\n

UPDATE YOUR WHOLE LOOK WITH ACCESSORIES<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t leave your hair hanging! \u201cThough while silver hair seems like it could be low-maintenance, you must remember to accessorize your look so that you don\u2019t come off looking washed out,\u201d says Friscioni. That means adding some charcoal and jewel toned (like ruby, sapphire, and emerald) duds to your wardrobe, and investing in a bold lipstick and a peach or rose blush. Friscioni\u2019s last piece of advice: \u201cChannel Diane Keaton! Top off your look with a pair of striking glasses.\u201d
