We all know that time: It’s been four weeks since you left the salon for your root retouch, and those pesky wisdom highlights are already growing back in. It’s frustrating to be an every-four-week guest, especially if you’re trying to cover your gray hair. But, what if there was a look that would give you more time between appointments and won’t have a defined growth line as it grows? What if there was a way that you could blend gray hair with highlights?

What Is Dimensional Hair Color?

Dimensional hair color has been trending for ages. It was designed to give a natural look to your hair by giving it multiple tones. There are all sorts of looks created with this coloring technique. Typically put in a foil, highlights and lowlights also help blend in the natural hair color while getting a full-coverage style color. Something as simple as creatively placed foils can easily mask your gray hair and grow-out for longer than just your basic root retouch formula from the salon.

Let’s Talk Options

There are so many hair color options for everyone, but not every available option is not necessarily the right option for your hair. When it comes to gray, there’s full-coverage color and gray blending. Whether you are the person who has to have their gray covered all the time or the person who just wants less maintenance with their grays, I bet there’s an option for you in the following paragraphs. What kind of gray-coverage person are you?

Gray Coverage

If you’re someone who wants nobody to know you ever had gray, you can still regularly cover gray roots at a salon or using temporary touch-ups. Adding in highlights with your standard root color will help diffuse the hard line as your gray starts to grow in. This will make you feel like you can’t see your few silver sparklers as quickly because they will blend right in with those highlights.
