Gray hair has long ceased to be a taboo and more and more women wear it with pride. This is also important in the social context, because thanks to it we familiarize society with the visible signs of aging, which are completely natural. Gray hair appears in everyone over the years and is nothing to be ashamed of. Many stars consciously decide to leave the beautiful, silvery-white color in favor of paints, and many women follow their example.
However, not all of us have to feel comfortable in gray. Some people want to hide the gray roots, so they regularly go to a hairdressing salon or dye their hair at home. If we are sure that the coloring will be done professionally, we should choose the first option, but it is associated with high costs.
Dyeing gray hair at home? This could end badly
The latter, in turn, is much cheaper, but we are not sure that we will color it correctly. For example, we may get the wrong shade, we may distribute the coloring preparation unevenly, or we may inadvertently and in a hurry stain our skin, furniture, towels and bathroom equipment. Moreover, not everyone has time to color their hair on their own.

How to get out of this embarrassing situation? We can choose one of 4 ad hoc methods that will help us hide gray roots and save money at the same time. They are non-invasive, safe and effective. It is known that for a person who wants to hide gray roots at all costs, dyeing will work best in the long term. However, the following methods are suitable for use in an emergency situation when we do not have time for other solutions.
How to hide gray hair without dyeing? 4 ways
- Use a coloring shampoo or a masking concealer for your hair. You can buy such preparations for PLN 10 or more in an average drugstore. It is important to choose a shade that matches our hair color. This is an “on-the-go” solution whose effects are immediate. It is worth adding, however, that it works best for small regrowth. Remember to spray the spray over the hair surface from an appropriate distance. In the case of concealer, it is worth paying attention to the reputation of the product – avoid those that leave a sticky layer on the hair. To improve the effect of the concealer, the best solution is to apply it to gray strands with a brush.
- Use hair decorations that will mask gray roots. All kinds of decorative scarves, headbands, bandanas, cufflinks and buckles will work here. Such accessories are fashionable all the time and are the perfect complement to virtually any styling.
- When styling, lift your hair from the roots. On loose, straightened and falling hair, gray roots will be very visible. Therefore, it is worth combing them from the roots using an appropriate brush and a hair dryer, and then fixing the hairstyle with hairspray. All types of waves and curls will also work well, as they will not only visually “lift” our hairstyle, but also distract attention from the gray hair.
- Choose the right hairstyle. The straightener and parting are out of the question. You will achieve the best effect if you pin or tie your hair high. All kinds of buns, updos and ponytails are a hit. All types of waves and curls will also work well, as they will not only visually “lift” our hairstyle, but also distract attention from the gray hair. It is worth adding that this method works best for regrowth of several centimeters.
ADVICE! How to quickly dye your hair, not necessarily gray? An indirect solution may be to use the so-called shampooettes. This is a popular solution, the effect of which lasts longer than in the above-mentioned cases, but still has a shorter shelf life than hair dye. Shampoos can be found in drugstores. They differ from hair dyes in that they are less invasive because they do not penetrate the internal structure of the hair, but cover it with color from the outside. How long does the color last? It depends on the structure of the hair and whether it has been dyed before. It is assumed that the effect of dyeing with a shampoo lasts for approximately 20-24 washes. It should be emphasized, however, that the shampoo changes the color only by 2-3 tones and unfortunately it will not help in dyeing gray hair, but it can be useful in covering individual gray hairs that have appeared on the head.
