How Are Your Roots Doing?

I don’t mean your Ancestory.com results.

I mean the roots on your head.

A few weeks ago, I asked what would you like me to help you with during the quarantine, and the majority of responses were asking for tips on how to handle going grey.

For some women, this is the perfect time to experiment and see if going all grey is right for them and become a member of the Silver Sisters club.

If you do want to go all grey, go for it. If your eyes are blue or green the odds are very, very good that you’ll look stunning in grey hair so really, really go for it.

Keep in mind that as your hair color changes whether going grey, brunette, or black, the colors you wear near your face need to change as well. Your coloring from hair, eyes, to skin-tone, will need different clothing colors to be the most flattering for you.

But, and this is a big but…if you want to NOT bring attention to your grey roots while you wait for your salon appointment, do not wear grey near your face.

If you are all grey or ready to embrace your roots, go ahead and wear grey just like how the majority of the Silver Sisters in the photo above are doing.

For those of you who want to cover up your grey roots until you can go back to your ‘natural’ color, click on the image below to see the products that will keep your secret until you can get back into the salon chair or color your hair at home if you dare.

To Grey Or Not To Grey?

This was one of my first videos, created a few years ago to show you that going grey is not for everyone. Especially, me.

Look how naturally beautiful and free, these women are. No more hair coloring, root touch ups, or hats needed even if you are a celebrity.

I often advise a client to go all grey, when appropriate, however many women color their hair and won’t be stopping anytime soon. In the above video, I recommend Batiste Dry Shampoo to cover up grey hairs and stretch out the time between shampoos, so the coloring will last longer.

As for the rest of us, only our hairdresser knows for sure.

How To Hide Your Grey Roots

Written by Scarlett De Bease on February 18, 2015. Posted in Image and Style, What To Wear.

Did you notice how when the book Fifty Shades Of Grey became a best seller and the subject of almost every social gathering, grey became extremely abundant in women’s clothing departments?

Grey clothes are not flattering on most women.

In my work, I have seen a lot of money wasted on grey clothes that do not complement most women. It often dulls their skin tone, hair, and eyes. Another example of trends not equalling flattering.

For example, when your grey roots are showing, wearing grey will make them far more obvious.

When your grey roots are showing, wearing grey will make them stand out.

In my experience, there are two exceptions. The first is for women who have salt and pepper or all-grey hair. Wearing the right shade of grey, will accentuate their hair and be very complimentary.

Look how fantastic Jamie Lee Curtis looks with her natural hair.

The second exception is that some women’s eye color is enhanced when wearing grey, although I suggest adding another color that will bring out the eyes even more. Typically blues will do the trick and work well with grey.

So if you are not so crazy about people or yourself, noticing your grey roots showing, don’t wear grey from the waist up.

“Scarlett, Ever since my consultation with you, I have rolled up my sleeves and, most important, purchased a blouse, a suit jacket and a sweater in TEAL my new found color. I have gotten so many compliments on these clothing items and how they make my blue eyes look bluer. Congratulations on completing your book.”—Linnea Levine
