Many of us are pleasantly surprised to find, after years of dyeing, that we LOVE our newly gray hair. What a relief!

Are you still in the process of growing out your dyed hair? Do you look at the top of your head and say to yourself, “Ugh! I hate my shade of gray. I wish it was a beautiful silver color like the women I’ve seen on Instagram!” Stop right there!

It’s simply not possible for you to look at your transitioning hair and have ANY idea what your final shade of gray hair will be. You can’t predict what your gray hair will really look like until ALL the dye has been cut out.

Why? Because gray hair isn’t really “gray” – it’s translucent. It’s hair without pigment. That translucent hair reflects off the colors surrounding it. So that leftover dye is affecting your perception of what color your gray hair actually is. Check out this mind-blowing image for a fantastic illustration of what I’m talking about:
