3 Easy & Affordable Ways to Cover Your Gray Hair!
Have you heard the expression I’m going to wash that gray
right out of my hair?Well today, I’m
going to share with you how to brush that gray right out of your hair with Cover Your Gray™.
While silver hair is all the rage right now, those of us who have naturally turned gray have a hard time embracing this hair trend, or at least I do! Now I know that welcoming it would sure make my life easier, but I still prefer to cover my gray hair instead of letting it grow out. I, unfortunately, have a lot of gray hair, and with the busy life I lead, I don’t always have time to go to the salon. Hence the time in between hair appointments can be unattractive, especially if you have dark hair like myself. So needless to say, I was excited when I had the opportunity to partner up with Cover Your Gray.
Cover Your Gray™ has launched a new line of waterproof
products and I was able to try 3 of them. These products are an
affordable way for color touch ups, allowing you to save money by extending the
time in between salon services.
Before I get into the products, I wanted to debunk some
graying hair myths with you, as turning gray at a young
age is not fun.Particularly for those, like myself, who are in the beauty industry
and spotlight every day.
Gray Hair Myth #1: Your Hair Turns Gray.
The truth is our
hair doesn’t turn gray, it grows that way. According to Better House Keeping, a
single hair grows for one to three years, and then you shed it — and grow a new
one. As we age, our new hairs are more likely to be white. Every time the
hair regenerates, we have to reform these pigment-forming cells, and they wear
out!
Gray Hair Myth #2: Stress Will Cause You To Go, Gray.
Stress won't directly cause your hair to go gray, but stress
can cause skin and hair issues. You can lose more hair during a stressful
situation, and the color of hair that grows back can be a different color,
and in my case...GRAY!
So now that I got those gray hair myths out of the way, let me tell you some easy & affordable ways to cover your gray hair, with these three amazing products I’ve been using. They are waterproof, sweat-proof, rain-proof and last through
three shampoos. Additionally, this line comes in 4 color options which are Lt Brown/Blonde, Medium
Brown, Dark Brown and the color that I used, Black! All 3 of these blended
beautifully allowing for the most professional result at home! All of these touch-up gray applications are great for areas that need a heavier coverage as
well as for re-growth in the temples, part or around the forehead, basically an all in one solution!
The applicator is very easy to use. At first glance it reminds me of a lip gloss brush and applies effortlessly.
How to Use:
Apply with short strokes to your gray roots at the hairline
and parting line. Comb your hair after the application to blend with existing
hair color for a seamless, natural look. Allow a few minutes to dry.
The applicator looks and works the same way as a mascara wand. See below how to use this root touch up brush.
How to Use:
FOR SHORT HAIR: Dab on using short strokes.
FOR LONG HAIR: Hold a section of hair and apply from the
root to end of your hair.
After using the color,
brush through to even out finish. To
remove, just shampoo your hair.
Waterproof Chubby Pencil Black
This is one I have never
seen before, but loved it.It’s like a
crayon that covers your gray hair!
How to Use:
You want to apply with short strokes to your gray roots at
the hairline and parting line. Comb hair after application to blend with
existing hair color for a seamless, natural look!
