There are various ways to transition to gray hair from dyed hair, and all of them have advantages and disadvantages.

I see many women in the Facebook Gray Hair support groups fretting about “not going gray the right way.”

But there is no wrong way to go gray. You have to do what works best for you: for your pocketbook, for your emotional well-being, and for your health.

I only heard about the dye strip technique recently, and it’s a great solution for women who want to go gray without a demarcation line, do not want to cut their hair short, and do not want to risk potential damage to their hair from salon transition treatments (such as bleaching).

The easiest and fastest way to go gray is to get your hair buzzed very short. If that’s too drastic for you, a pixie cut is the preferred route for many women.

If you want a quick cold-turkey transition, but don’t want to buzz off your hair, consider getting a pixie cut.
