🧊 Why Grey Hair Colors Need Special Care

Grey pigments — just like pastel pigments — are extremely fine and transparent. That’s why they tend to show:

• yellowing
  

• dullness
  

• fading
  

• greenish tones if the base becomes too warm
  

Maintaining a cool grey is a delicate balance.

💡 1. Wash Like a Pro — Less Is More 🫧

Washing too frequently is the biggest grey killer, because:

• water dissolves pigments
  

• heat + shampoo open the hair structure
  

• grey turns dull very quickly
  
  

Recommendations:
🔹 wash every 3–4 days
🔹 use lukewarm to cool water instead of hot
🔹 choose sulfate-free, silicone-free products whenever possible

💡 2. Allergic to Color: the Grey Booster for Shine & Freshness ✨

The Allergic to Color mask is not only a Color of the Month in January — it’s also your best friend for shiny, nourished, vibrant grey tones.
It works in two ways:

✔ Care

Plant-based extracts (olive, chili, lavender, watercress, etc.) help rebuild, nourish and smooth the hair.

✔ Pigment

The grey tinting pigment refreshes dull grey beautifully — without stressing the hair.

How to use it effectively:

• apply once per week
  

• leave on for 5–20 minutes
  

• adjust intensity through processing time
  

• apply like a shampoo/conditioner on damp hair
  

💡 3. Grey Skull for Clear, Defined Cool Grey Tones 🎨

If you want your grey to look more intense or cleaner, Grey Skull (also a Color of the Month!) is ideal.

Its subtle blue-violet undertone even helps counter creeping yellow tones — super useful when your hair becomes warmer over time.

Perfect for:

• regular touch-ups
  

• cool steel-grey looks
  

• anti-yellow correction
  

💡 4. Protect, Protect, Protect — How to Keep Your Grey Cool 🧊💙

Grey stays fresher for longer when you shield the color from external influences:

☀ UV Protection

Sunlight warms up grey tones quickly.
→ Use UV-protecting leave-ins.

♨ Minimize Heat Styling

Curling irons & straighteners visibly fade grey.
→ Less heat = cooler tones for longer.

🚿 Avoid Hot Water

Heat opens the hair structure and allows pigments to escape.

🧖‍♀️ Care Instead of Stress

Masks, oils & leave-ins help maintain shine and smoothness.

💡 5. SOS Tips for Yellowing or Fading 🔧

Even with great care, grey hair can become slightly warm over time. That’s completely normal — and easy to fix.

🔹 For Yellow Tones:

• reapply Grey Skull
  

• leave Allergic to Color on longer
  

• remove silicones from the hair
  

• lightly re-bleach if necessary
  

🔹 For Dullness:

• use Allergic to Color for 10–15 minutes
  

• add hair oil + leave-in for more shine
  

🔹 For Greenish Tones:

• identify the cause: usually yellow + blue
  

• apply Grey Skull → rebalances the color
