katie goes platinum
Every week, I receive emails from women who want to go gray but don’t want to cut their hair, don’t want to bleach their hair, and don’t want to sport a strong demarcation line (i.e., “skunk stripe.”)
It’s called the Dye Strip Technique and it’s a fantastic solution for women who don’t want to go gray cold turkey, don’t want to cut their hair short, and don’t want to potentially damage their hair through gray blending at the salon.
This method of secretly going gray has been around for a while, but I wasn’t aware of it until I bumped into Diana Moffitt (@silver.is.the.new.black) at a silver sister meetup and she explained it to me.
This method works best for women who want to eventually give up hair dye altogether but are not in a huge rush to complete their transition. It’s especially great for women who have an aversion to the demarcation line. A lot of us silver sisters loved going gray cold turkey, but let’s be honest – that’s not for everyone.
