GRAY or GREY HAIR COLORING:

There are two different hair conditions; one requires you to go to how to blend gray hair and another requiring you to go to how to cover gray hair, the difference being the extension of the gray color in your hair or the ultimate desired effect:
both techniques can be mastered at home although not easy at all, especially if you' re doing it on yourself

Although obvious why some may have to cover their gray hair rahter than just blend, it may sound at least odd that some may prefer to blend even if they would need to cover their silver hair. So here's the secret: if you have your hair completely gray, you might want to blend and leave some of that silver showing just because it gives a rather more natural look and people won't understand that you had your hair colored and treated. It looks as though you have your natural hair color and it would look very good to have only a few grey hairs instead of the whole head. Unfortunately this is a trick that you can take with you to the salon as it's very difficult to make it look natural unless you leave it to a professional colorist, and even in that case, only a few specialists really know how to do it. It's too hard to know where natural gray hair shows and too difficult to control the application of hair dye. You might be better off doing it all. But it's an interesting secret to know, because it works! Many celebrities use that method, but of course they have expert hair colorists to do it and it's not everybody's money. We all know very well that colorists are among the best paid people around VIPs, but the reason is because there's only a few that are that good at hair coloring.
