Gray Hair and Personal Style: Finding Your Signature Look

Magic Gray Hair Cover Gray hair is a natural occurrence that happens to many people as they age. While some individuals embrace their gray locks as a sign of wisdom and experience, others may prefer to cover them up. This is where the concept of magic gray hair cover comes into play. Magic gray hair cover refers to various products and techniques aimed at disguising or temporarily eliminating the appearance of gray hair. These products can range from temporary hair color sprays and powders to more permanent options like hair dyes or color treatments. One popular method of magic gray hair cover is the use of hair dyes.

You wouldn't believe what this has done to get rid of my split ends. I also get hair cuts around every 6 weeks - there is no miracle for split ends, you have to have them trimmed off, but in one month of not shampooing my ends, my hair drastically improved.

I can t believe how shiny my hair is and it does bring out highlights in my color treated hair WITHOUT stripping the color along the hair shaft, or lifting the color from the roots.

One popular method of magic gray hair cover is the use of hair dyes. These dyes come in a wide range of colors, including shades that closely resemble natural hair colors. By applying the dye to their gray hair, individuals can effectively blend their gray strands with the rest of their hair, creating a more youthful and uniform look.

Product Review: Gray Magic Color Additive

Someone on Thriftyfun recommended Gray Magic for hard to color gray hair. I tried it last week and it worked. The instructions recommend 10 drops for one ounce of color. I just followed the Revlon hair color directions and mixed the hair color with the developer and shook it really well as usual. Then I added 10 drops of Gray Magic, and shook the bottle of hair color really well again.

Ok, don't get scared, but after I added the 10 drops, it turned the hair color dark purple! Yes, I was scared. But my philosophy is - hair can always be colored again. I colored my hair as usual, concentrating on the roots. But I also use a large tooth comb to drag the color through the rest of my hair and put some on the ends, since my hair fades there quite a bit.

I did keep my hair color on for much longer than the Revlon instructions; but I always do. I kept it on for about 1 hour. This is IN ADDITION to the time it takes me to actually put the color on my hair (which seems to take forever).

Then, still following Revlon's instructions, mixed a little warm water to my hair making it suds up a bit. I rinsed really, really well - but I always do. Don't get scared. When I rinsed, it rinsed out dark purple. I was scared. However, my results were great and I will definitely use it again. It colored all of my hard to cover grays.

Then I used a really intense hair conditioner after I rinsed and towel dried my hair. Then I wrapped my hair in plastic wrap and went out in the sun (you don't have to go out in the sun, but I do keep the plastic wrap on for around 1/2 hour to 1 hour, or as long as I can stand it. Then I rinse the conditioner out really, really well. I usually let my hair air dry after this, but I've also styled my hair immediately after too.

But this is one secret I have learned: I never, ever wash my hair the day before I color. In fact, I wait about 4 days after shampooing. Then, I don't shampoo my hair for around 4 days after I color. I don't have oily hair anymore (I'm 52). The combination of all of these things makes my hair color not fade as fast, I don't know why.

But I do rinse my hair in between shampoos (rinse really, really well to remove any gels, hairsprays, etc.) and then style as usual with gel, whatever, hair spray. The next day, I rinse, style and that's that. My hair doesn't get oily.

I bought Gray Magic at Sally Beauty Supply in Houston, Texas, USA, but they do have stores all of the USA.

The Gray Magic box says it's made in the USA, but here is more info from the box: Gray Magic is a registered trademark of American International Industries; AII (UK) Ltd; Berkshire R! 7SR.

More tricks:

I have stopped using shampoo and any hair products with sodium lauryl sulfate. I find it strips my color and dries my hair. This includes high end hair products as well as drugstore kind.

A shampoo that is my latest love is by Shikai and is called Henna Gold Highlighting Shampoo. Safe for color treated hair. And shiny? I can't believe how shiny my hair is and it does bring out highlights in my color treated hair WITHOUT stripping the color along the hair shaft, or lifting the color from the roots. No animal testing or animal ingredients.

A very nice product. I bought it for around $7.99 US for 12 ounces, at a local Whole Foods Store, a high end health food store (www.wholefoodds.com). Here are the shampoo details:

Shikair Products,
Santa Rosa, California, USA 95405
Tel: 1-5800-448-0298

I only use a little bit of this shampoo on my scalp after I rinse my hair really, really, really well before I put on the shampoo.

Another trick: I never, ever shampoo the ends of my hair. I only shampoo the roots, which is really the only part that needs actual cleaning.

You wouldn't believe what this has done to get rid of my split ends. I also get hair cuts around every 6 weeks - there is no miracle for split ends, you have to have them trimmed off, but in one month of not shampooing my ends, my hair drastically improved.

I used Revlon brand 'Colorsilk' in 'medium brown' hair color - sorry, I didn't write down the color's number. I buy it at local drugstores (Walgreens, CVS) and also at Walmart and Target. All of these stores have websites: walgreens.com, cvs.com, walmart.com, target.com, probably at drugstore.com too.

You could probably email Revlon for a store that sells it near you.

Well, I think I have exhausted the subject! I hope you have good luck if you decide to try Gray Magic!

Another option for magic gray hair cover is the use of color treatments or rinses. These products work by depositing color onto the hair shaft, providing a temporary solution to gray hair. Color treatments and rinses typically do not contain harsh chemicals, making them a safer alternative for individuals with sensitive scalps or hair. In recent years, advancements in technology have led to the development of innovative magic gray hair cover products. This includes sprays and powders that can be easily applied to the hair, providing instant coverage. These products often have a natural-looking finish and can withstand sweat and water, making them a popular choice for those who lead an active lifestyle. It is important to note that while magic gray hair cover products can be effective in temporarily concealing gray hair, they are not permanent solutions. As hair grows, the gray roots will become visible again, necessitating regular touch-ups or the use of a more permanent hair dye option. In conclusion, magic gray hair cover offers individuals with gray hair the opportunity to choose how they want to present themselves to the world. Whether it is embracing their silver strands or temporarily covering them up, these products provide a variety of options for individuals looking to manage their gray hair..

Reviews for "Gray Hair and Natural Beauty: Enhancing Your Features with Gray"

1. David - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to try the Magic Gray Hair Cover as I've been struggling with my gray hair for a while now. However, I was highly disappointed with the results. The product did not cover my gray hair evenly, and it left a weird texture on my hair that made it look unnatural. Additionally, the color seemed to fade quickly, and I had to reapply it frequently to maintain coverage. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable solution to cover their gray hair.

2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I have to say I was extremely disappointed with the Magic Gray Hair Cover. Not only did it fail to provide full coverage for my gray hair, but it also left a residue that made my hair feel sticky and greasy. The color was also off, and it didn't match my natural hair color at all. I tried using different shades and following the instructions carefully, but nothing seemed to work. Save your money and try a different product if you're looking to cover your gray hair.

3. Jessica - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Gray Hair Cover, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The product was messy and difficult to apply, and it didn't provide the desired coverage for my gray hair. The color also appeared artificial and didn't blend well with my natural hair color. I also noticed that the product transferred onto my hands and clothes throughout the day, which was quite frustrating. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective and convenient solution to cover gray hair.
