SCHWARZKOPF PROFESSIONAL
As an alternative to covering grays, more and more clients want to go natural gray.
However, as hair matures, it looses melanin, which often results in limp, frizzy or yellow-
tinged hair. To address this need, Schwarzkopf Professional has created Igora Royal
Absolutes SilverWhite, which is available in four different shades: Silver, Dove Grey, Slate
Grey and Grey Lilac. The colors keep clients looking fashion-forward and elegant, and
create an overall beautiful, polished gray hair look.

Regardless of the color
you use, the key to gray
coverage is to properly
assess the hair texture to
determine formulation and
processing time. Because
TIGI Copyright©olour is a
fully intermixable brand,
you have complete control
over your coverage result.
Thicker hair may require
mixing in a quarter of a level
darker to your formula to
get maximum depth. For
coarser hair, you may need
to process the color f ve
minutes longer for complete
coverage. Plus, you can
manage coolness of tone
by mixing neutral and
natural Creative (permanent)
shades together or intermix
Creative and Gloss (demi-
permanent) for more
multidimensional, soft-
permanent results.

WELLA
One of my favorite tools for achieving
believable, beautiful gray coverage is the
new Wella Koleston Perfect Innosense
Mineral Shades, which deliver rich
depth and shine. For this look inspired
by Wella's 2016 Molten Ecaille trend,
I alternated cool and warm tones,
creating a light and shade pattern that
dances and plays throughout the hair.
