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.

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.

The Dye Strip Technique involves only coloring a small strip of hair at the crown of your head. You’ll re-dye the roots of only that strip of hair as needed.

At that point, you can let the dyed strip grow out underneath your fabulous, sparkly gray hair and no one will be the wiser. That’s why the Dye Strip Technique is sometimes referred to as “going gray in secret.”

Due to the nature of the dye-strip technique, it works best with medium-to-long straight or wavy hair.

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.

WHAT SHADE OF EYEBROW LOOKS BEST ON YOU?

Step 1: Part your hair on the side and section off about a 1.5” x 5″ strip of hair along your part line. Step 2: Put Vaseline on all sides of the strip to protect your natural hair color from accidentally being dyed. Step 3: ONLY dye the roots of the strip of hair.

Step 4: When you wash out the dye, focus on rinsing out the dyed strip well before you add shampoo to wash out the Vaseline. (If you have trouble washing out the Vaseline, read this post). Step 5: When styling your hair, part your hair down the middle of the dyed strip laying the dyed hair over your gray hair and style as usual. Voila!
