STEP ELEVEN Adding Grey Hair to Your Hair System

Adding Grey Hair to Your Hair System

Adding grey hair to your hair system can give it a natural and original look. If your natural hair included grey hair, you’ll want to incorporate grey hair into your hair system for the most realistic appearance.

1. Adding Grey Hair to the Hair System

Grey hair blends can provide a natural look. If your own hair included grey strands, adding grey to your hair system is essential for maintaining a consistent and realistic appearance.

2. Grey Hair Percentage: What Is It?

When adding grey hair, you need to specify the grey hair percentage. This percentage indicates the amount of grey hair in your entire hairpiece. Grey hair can be added to various areas including the top, front, sides, back, and temples to achieve a natural look.

  • Common Areas for Grey Hair: Many people prefer grey hair on the sides of their hair system.
  • Sending Hair Samples: If you send us your own hair samples, you do not need to specify the grey hair percentage, as we will match it based on the sample.

3. Synthetic or Human Hair?

When choosing grey hair for your system, you can opt for either synthetic or human hair. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:

Human Grey Hair:

  • Natural Look: Human grey hair looks natural and realistic, especially in sunlight.
  • Quality: Human hair has a natural feel and texture, enhancing the overall quality of the hair system.
  • Fading: Human hair can fade over time, but it can be dyed to maintain its original color.

Synthetic Grey Hair:

  • Consistency: Synthetic grey hair maintains its color and doesn’t fade over time.
  • Durability: It is more resistant to environmental factors like UV rays.
  • Blending Issues: When a hair system blends synthetic grey hair with darker human hair, the darker color may fade while the grey remains the same, potentially causing a mismatch in color over time.

Considerations:

  • Natural Feel: Human grey hair tends to have a more natural feel and appearance compared to synthetic.
  • Maintenance: Synthetic grey hair requires less maintenance but may not blend as well with natural hair.
  • Sunlight Effect: Human grey hair looks more natural in sunlight, while synthetic grey hair may appear less realistic.

By understanding the differences between synthetic and human grey hair, you can make an informed decision that best suits your needs and ensures your hair system looks as natural and high-quality as possible.
