Silveristas know that embracing our hair is empowering and beautiful! If you’re considering embarking on your own silver journey but have some concerns, check out our second entry in a series to debunk some of the most common myths about silver and gray hair!
Our skin is just like our hair, it changes as we age! It may become dry, brittle, or wiry. When the hair stops producing melanin (turns silver and gray), those changes can be exacerbated. But that does not mean that our silver or gray hair is inherently weak or brittle. Healthy, vibrant hair is possible at every stage! We simply need to re-evaluate our product choices and routine.
Eliminate ingredients known to cause dryness (e.g., sulfates, phosphates, parabens, and silicones) by using HYDRATE Shampoo, a sulfate-free shampoo for silver and gray hair.
Use products with nutrient-rich botanicals that are known to soften silver hair (e.g., coconut oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil, argan, and jojoba oil).
Incorporate clarifying treatments and brightening conditioners that help to prevent hair breakage, helping silver hair maintain its strength and vitality.
For some, the decision to embrace their silver hair was a bold and daring move to embrace their authentic self and challenge societal norms. For others, it was an easy progression into a new stage of life. Regardless of your journey, silver and gray hair offer a unique opportunity for self-expression and creativity. By debunking myths and outdated stereotypes, we hope to empower others to embrace their silver hair with confidence and pride!
