The Best Professional Hair Color For Embracing Your Grays
By: Kenra Professional
It is incredibly common for clients to come into their color appointment ready to cover up their pesky gray roots. But recently, gray has become a rather fashionable hair color and has many people deciding to embrace their grays. Whether you are trying to transform your client’s hair into an overall gray look to match their natural roots, or you are enhancing a striking gray streak, Kenra Professional has the perfect hair color for the job.
In 2020 we saw young celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevigne, Rihanna, and so many more going for bold super-platinum dye jobs with icy gray tones. In late 2020 everyone was confined to their home during the pandemic. Just a couple of weeks in, older celebrities such as Terry Hatcher and Michelle Visage had gray roots that started showing since they could not meet up with their stylists due to social distancing.
Now, in 2021 many celebrities and everyday people alike are beginning to embrace their natural grays with the help of their colorists to boost the gorgeous tones and incorporate them seamlessly with their non-gray hair. This two-tone style has become incredibly popular, so it is time to hop on this color trend. Hair salons are back, and we can’t wait to get to work.

Using Hair Color To Enhance Gray Accents
Not everyone is ready to go gray all over, but many people are beginning to embrace their gray by keeping a stylish accent piece amongst their other colors. This is a fantastic way to incorporate a bit of gray and looks especially striking when contrasted against darker tones.
To achieve this look, you will need to isolate the piece of hair that you want to transform into a gray accent and then cover the roots in other areas as you would typically. Lighten the non-gray hair of the accent piece, and then use the Kenra Color shade of your choice to tone the accent piece according to the desired level and shade of gray.
Using Hair Color To Transition To Gorgeous All Over Gray
If your client is ready to really go for it and transform into a full-blown gray-haired goddess, then you can also use Kenra’s many fabulous shades of gray to change their overall hair color into a gorgeous multi-tonal gray masterpiece. In many circumstances, a heavy highlight or an all-over lightening service may be required before applying the perfect tone.
In addition, Kenra Professional recommends pre-toning when looking for a true-to-tone silver as the final result. Pre-tone by pre-lightening the selected hair to a Level ten, and then apply one of the Kenra Color Rapid Toners-- SV or VP-- to the har for a full five minutes. Then, shampoo, condition, towel blot, and apply the final demi-permanent SM shade of choice for up to 25 minutes for a truly sensational silver.
With Kenra Color, you can trust that the results will match the box. Use a combination of a couple of different shades and your favorite technique to transform your client’s hair into something you are confident they will love.
