The pros to getting highlights?

You’d be masking your gray hair and your new growth can homogenize into the highlights without much challenge.

Highlights don’t offer full coverage.

For fuller coverage of gray hair, you will have to decide on another method.

First, go with a suitable blonde for your hair and skin tone.

The blonde color is very versatile and you’re free to choose from a wide range of shades.

Pick the right shade of blonde that your gray hair would mesh well with once it starts growing back.

Another tip is to double-check you start coloring your hair from the area with the most gray.

This is because the processing time for hair can last well over 30 minutes.

Whichever way works for you is fine as long as you carefully monitor the hair to prevent damage.
