Yes, those unruly, loose grey hairs that everyone has to battle with sooner or later in their life. Want to find tricks and tips on how to manage unmanageable grey hair and take full control over your hairstyle, guess what: you are on the right page.

Step One

Firstly, let’s understand what exactly the grey hairs are and how they happen. Those unmanageable hairs are in fact nothing more than hairs that have lost their natural pigmentation, and therefore result in dry and dull hair.

Once the hair loses pigmentation, it starts changing its texture and become ‘frizzy’. If your grey hair seems unmanageable, that means that there is something that must be changed in your daily hair care.

Step Two

Your scalp should be your primary concern. Make sure that the PH of the hair and scalp is maintained as close as possible to its natural balance. The natural PH should be around 5.5. Anything below this number can result into dry hair.

To ensure a balanced PH of your scalp, pay attention when choosing the right shampoo. Aloe Vera hair masks can also contribute to balancing the natural PH. Along with your shampoo, hard water can also contribute your hair dryness, therefore it is advisable to use water filters.

Step Four

Regarding the pre-styling products, absolutely do not use sea salt sprays, as they will dry your hair even more. Remember that excessively dry hair might cause breakage. Rather than sea salt sprays, use the “miracle oils” mentioned above. When blow drying your hair be careful to not over dry it. In case you are not sure when to stop, let it dry naturally.
