GRAY
and Gorgeous!
Whether you have subtle streaks or a full
head of silver, these pro stylist tips will keep your
shade true and strands shiny and smooth.
BANISH
BRASS
Gray hair is extra porous, so it absorbs
environmental pollutants, UV rays,
and more, which can cause it to take
on a yellowish cast. To prevent
brassiness, “wash weekly with a
purple shampoo,” suggests celebrity
hairstylist Arsen Gurgov, founder
of the eponymous salon in New York
City. Try violet-tinged Redken Color
Extend Graydiant ShampooTEXTURE
“Gray hair tends to have a thicker
and coarser texture,” Gurgov explains,
which is why it can appear wiry.
To smooth unruly strands, “apply a
cream-based styling product all over
damp hair before drying to create
a barrier against moisture, which can
trigger frizz,” he says. Suave

& Shine Cream ($6, drugstores)BOOST SHINE
When silver strands are shiny, they
appear healthier and more youthful.
“Styling products that add gloss and
smoothness help hair’s surface reflect
light,” Gurgov explains. Finish your
style by rubbing a small dab of a
shine-enhancing hair oil, such as Hask
Argan Oil Repairing Shine Oil Vial
($3, ulta.com), between palms, then
lightly gliding over hair.
