Ditch the dye: 3 ways to embrace your silver strands

Are you tired of dyeing your hair only to have your white roots come back in a matter of weeks? Here are three ways to transition to your natural hue.

1. Cut it
This is the quickest and easiest option. Let your hair grow for a month or two and then cut off all the dyed hair. Some brave souls even opt to shave it all off.

2. Grow it
Stop dyeing your hair altogether and wait until it grows. This option works best on lighter hair; the contrast of dark hair with silver roots can be jarring.

3. Get highlights
Ask your hairstylist to break up your darker hair with highlights that match your natural tone. This option won’t work for every¬one, because the lightener used can be very damaging to some hair types.

Embracing your silver strands requires significantly less upkeep than dyeing it every few weeks. However, you’ll need to wash your hair with a violet or blue shampoo once a week to prevent it from yellowing.
