FAQs for Going Grey Gracefully with V For Hair 

How long does it take to transition to grey hair?
The time depends on your current hair colour and length. Shorter styles can transition in 4-6 months, while longer, darker hair may take a bit longer with regular colour blending sessions.

Will I need to visit the salon often?
Not necessarily! Our advanced blending techniques and use of high-quality products,  with Bond Enforcing Technology, help minimize harsh regrowth lines, giving you a seamless, low-maintenance look.

What products do you use to achieve and maintain grey and silver tones?
We use WELLA products, specifically designed for blondes and silver tones. These products help maintain the vibrancy and strength of your hair while minimizing breakage.

Can grey hair suit my skin tone?Absolutely! During your consultation, we consider your skin tone and natural undertones to find the most flattering grey shade, whether it’s a cool platinum, soft silver, or warm beige blend.

What if I don’t like the grey shade?
Our approach is personalised from the start! We’ll work with you to select the perfect shade for your preferences and adjust as needed to keep your style looking fresh and true to you.
Will going grey make me look older?
Not at all! A precision cut and carefully chosen silver or grey tone can be incredibly flattering and even anti-aging. Our expert stylists know how to add dimension and movement to ensure you look vibrant and confident.

Is it possible to blend my natural grey with highlights?
Yes! Techniques like age-blending, highlights, and balayage help blend natural grey with your existing colour for a soft, harmonious look.

What if I have dark hair? Will the transition be harder?
For darker hair, we use lowlights and gradual lightening to ease the transition. This process may take several sessions but allows for a beautifully blended, natural look.

Do I need special shampoos or conditioners for grey hair?
Yes, we recommend silver-specific shampoos  to enhance silver tones and prevent brassiness. Our stylists can advise you on the best products for ongoing care.

How do I keep my grey hair looking bright and not yellow?
Along with using quality silver shampoo, we suggest in-salon toning services to maintain a bright, clear silver tone or warmer tone if desired. These treatments keep your grey fresh and luminous between appointments.If you’re ready to embrace the beauty of grey, our team is here to make it a seamless and stunning transition!
