So, you're going a little gray. Wanting to cover it up? For men
covering gray and keeping it looking good between cuts can be a
challenge. As men, we typically wear our hair short -- less than three
inches on average. After about a month, those roots start to show and,
especially if you wear your hair short, you're likely to end up with
gray sides and a dark top after a haircut. Not a good look.
Fortunately, these days men wanting to cover gray have some solid
options.
At Home:
Creating natural looking color at home can be tricky, but with a little planning you can achieve great results. If you can't go to a salon and have your gray professionally covered, there are some fairly good supermarket brands on the market. You'll want to choose a semi-permanent color which will fade after a few weeks of regular washes (Clairol Natural Instincts for Men and Just For Men work well). This will prevent you from having to touch up the roots on a regular basis. When choosing a color, you'll want to go a shade lighter than your natural color. Remember, you don't want a new color, you just want to get rid of the gray you have. To keep your hair looking natural, you should simply tone down the gray, not totally obliterate it. Choosing a color one shade lighter will help achieve this goal. If you choose a color darker than your natural hair color, the results will be highly noticeable -- not the subtle look we're after.
