Disadvantages of granny hair

Gray hair coloring is spectacular and extraordinary, but this heir trend is not without flaws, and it is not only about the perception of your new shade of strands by others.

• Be prepared for the fact that you will have to repeat the above described coloring scheme at least once every 3 weeks, as the hair will grow back. To paint less often, consider the option of staining with ombra with gray paint.
• Lightening the hair, you will harm its health, so do not forget about the constant care. Use masks to strengthen the hair, conditioners and special shampoos for colored strands.

Some will think that it is ridiculous to try on the old woman's hair, others will say: “Wow, I absolutely have to do it!” On the one hand, gray strands of young girls really look frightening, and it would seem that gray hair cannot escape a single beauty with age and without staining. But looking at the question differently, at the age of 50+, you definitely will not dye your hair in such a shade, and in every possible way you will hide gray hairs. So, if you liked this trend, why not try on granny hair personally?
