Over the next three months, instead of coloring my hair, Kristen toned the red allowing my natural color to blend with the silver. We became “silver siren buddies” as she had just decided to do the same thing with her own hair. She was so very supportive and excited for me.
I called Kristen within a week of that May appointment and told her I wanted to transition to silver. I bought a copy of Lorraine’s book and read it cover to cover in three days and.When I left Kristen’s that day, I did two things: Sitting in Kristen’s salon in May 2018, I happened to pick up Lorraine Massey’s Silver Hair: A Handbook. For the next 5 months I became increasingly more dissatisfied with my curls and my color. Every 4 weeks Kristen colored my shoulder length curly hair a beautiful shade of red and I loved it (the curls, the length and the color)! That is until Christmas 2017 when my Mother-in-law’s husband asked me why my hair was orange. I met Kristen 5 years ago when she became my colors and “curl-wrangler”. Rock it like a Redhead!

I am not saying you have to go pixie but if you were to cut your hair into a bob or lob and grow out your roots, this will give you a style to maintain while the color goes to the beat of its own drum. “If this is your go-to approach, I recommend a healthy haircut and possibly a different hairstyle. This is one of the hardest transitions to do, as it can take up to a year or more to grow out. The following are Loo’s and Farel’s tips for redheads who are sick of coloring and/or want an au-natural look: Option 1: Let it grow and embrace the look If you’re looking to take the plunge and go gray, the first step is to embrace your roots. When you’re ready to part with your temporary mane makeover, simply wash the color out with a single shampoo session. “Depending on the level, meaning depth or darkness of the hair, your ‘wisdom’ could look more dimensional as it grows out so you might not have as much concealing to do.” Mist the color over your mane for a shimmering, temporary silver-gray hair color. One advantage most natural redheads have is their red (normally) loses its intensity and goes towards being more blondish or brunette-ish,” says Loo. “Redheads, depending on the depth of the red, can have a softer transition to going ‘wisdom’. The 3rd option is to get highlights and attempt to blend their colour as closely as possible to the grey roots. Isn’t wisdom a fabulous word for this process?
