Gray hair isn’t one of those things that you can avoid through diet, exercise, and mental health, and good nutrition. Unless you’re bald, you’re eventually going to have gray hair.
We’re Artisan Salon & Spa, a California-based beauty supplier and salon, and we know all about gray hair and root touch ups; afterall, your hair is our job! Here are a few of our recommendations for coloring over your gray hairs.
Butterscotch is a natural, warm, whiskey-colored (hey, scotch is in the name) hair dye that’s increasingly popular with people who want to cover up gray hairs. If you look at our gallery you’ll see this sweet hair color all over. Butterscotch is a versatile color that leans more towards the lighter side of the color spectrum as well, giving you multiple wear options.
On the furthest side of the light spectrum is light auburn. Light auburn looks exactly as its name implies: a light auburn. This hair color is basically the antithesis of gray hairs, and can be worn in unique, eye-catching styles.
Golden brown shares a lot of its color character with butterscotch, but leans heavily towards darker shades of aged-honey-brown interlaced with threads of gold. These cascading locks of gold catch the light just enough to give your hair a youthful and healthy glow (plus they look great against this style’s brown base color).
If you’re trying to cover up gray hairs, you might be scratching your head wondering what ash brown is doing on this list. Ash brown is a very common color dye used when treating gray hairs, as it is intentionally lighter in color than other hair styles, while still having enough complexity and color depth so as not to draw attention to graying hairs. What you end up with is lightly browned hair flecked with silver, making your gray hairs practically invisible!
If any of these hair colors or styles sound enticing to you, and you’re in need of a root touch up, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Artisan Salon & Spa to schedule an appointment!
