Going Grey? Got Hairline? Check Out These Styles for Disguising Your Grey Hair
1. Your natural color and the grey hairs
The first step in choosing a color is determining the color of your grey hairs.
Do they have any pink or red tones to them? If so, you’re probably looking at more than one shade of grey. And if that’s the case, it gets even trickier—you need to consider how each shade looks when it comes together with other colors (like those from clothing or makeup).
Does your skin tone lean toward yellow or olive? If so, then you might want a lighter concealer than someone with pale skin. It all depends on what kind of look you’re going for—light-haired men tend to wear lighter concealers while dark-haired men tend to wear darker ones. The same goes for beards!
The next thing you should consider is the color around your eyes and mouth; this will help determine whether or not an eye shadow works well with your complexion and style choices while also making sure there aren’t any awkward clashes between different parts of the face like eyebrows vs eyelashes vs foundation/blush etcetera — these things should always match up as closely as possible!
2. Pick the right color
Next, you’ll want to pick a color that matches your skin tone as well as your hair color. If you have dark hair, choose a darker shade and if you have light hair choose a lighter one. If you are going for the “highlighted” look, try using two or three colors to blend and match your hair.
This is where it gets interesting — there are so many different shades of gray out there! It can be overwhelming at first but don’t worry too much about finding the perfect shade right away; keep experimenting until it feels right for YOU! But here are some great starting points:
3. How to use concealer on grey hair
You can apply concealer to your grey hair by using a brush or your fingers. A few tips for applying the color:
- Make sure that you’ve thoroughly washed and dried your hair before applying the concealer. You should also make sure it’s dry when you go to bed, so that any excess product doesn’t drip down onto pillowcases.
- Before brushing on your dye in place, test it on a hidden section of skin (like behind an ear) to make sure it isn’t going to cause an allergic reaction and don’t put too much on—you want just enough coverage without looking like an Easter bunny!
- If using a powder-based concealer, try mixing in some hair chalk or glitter with the powder before applying so that it will shine through better once dried!
4. Consider your style
The last thing to consider when it comes to concealing grey hair is your personal style. If you have a certain look, it’s important to keep in mind that you don’t necessarily want to stray from that look by adding more accessories or bright colors. For example, if you’re the type of man who wears very little in the way of jewelry and prefers a more muted color palette, then adding some bright accessories or going with bolder colors may not be the best option for covering up your grey roots. The same goes for someone who wears their hair slicked back all day long at their job as an attorney: they might want something more subtle and less noticeable than say…a fedora hat would be!
It’s also important to consider what kind of job you have before deciding on how much concealer color will work best for you; if possible avoid using any products on top of odorous ones like perfume since this could cause them not only ineffective but also counter productive!
If you’re going to cover up your hair, the first thing you need to do is pick the right color for your skin and hair tone.
Before you try and cover up your gray hair, it’s important to pick a concealer color that matches your natural hair color. If you’re going grey, but your natural hair is still dark, then try choosing a shade of concealer that’s closer to the grey than the brown. This way, when the brown comes through in the front of your head, it will blend in with the rest of your hair.
If you have darker skin and are going for lighter coverage on top, it’s best if you choose a shade that isn’t too light or dark so that there aren’t any major contrasts between what’s covered up and what isn’t (again – this makes it look like there are spots where no one wants their face).
