Because it's more fragile and vulnerable than other types of hair, gray hair deserves special care to maintain its suppleness and shine. Here's a look at how to make it a highlight of your look!
Make your white hair shine with a brush made of boar bristles
We're telling you right now: your white or graying hair won't be able to live without it! White hair is characterized by reduced production of natural oils. This makes it more difficult for lengths to benefit from this beneficial natural oil. That's where the boar bristles brush comes in, your essential tool for nourishing the hair fiber and making it shine. How do you use it? By grabbing natural oils at the roots and distributing it all the way to the ends. Studio By brushing your hair morning and night with a Altesse care brush, your hair becomes silkier, softer and shinier.
Another advantage of this top-of-the-range styling tool is that it oxygenates the scalp, ridding it of impurities accumulated during the day, while providing a gentle, stimulating massage. This massaging action provides the oxygen and nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of hair bulbs, boosting regrowth and strengthening hair. And just as well, since gray hair renews itself less quickly!
Taking care of gray hair means moisturizing it!
White hair is drier, more fragile and porous than color-treated hair. The cause? Impaired production of keratin and natural oils. Less protected, hair becomes dehydrated and loses its shine. It's time to adjust your hair routine: start by saying goodbye to chemical hair care products, which tend to dry out white hair even more. Instead, opt for a gentle sulfate-free shampoo, preferably of natural origin, and a moisturizing mask to be applied once a week to soften hair as much as possible.

Good to know Vegetable oils are also your allies for moisturizing and shining hair. Avocado oil, for example, is ideal for intensely nourishing the hair fiber from root to tip. Grapeseed oil, for its part, deeply moisturizes hair, giving it a sumptuous shine. |
Regularly removing gray hair to boost radiance
Yellow highlights on your white hair - your pet peeve! But why this phenomenon? It's due to the ageing-induced drop in melanin production. But that's not all. External factors such as pollution and UV rays stimulate the formation of free radicals that oxidize hair proteins. The solution for shiny white hair without unsightly highlights? Use a violet shampoo (complementary color to yellow) alternating with your usual shampoo. And don't forget to protect your hair from the sun as you do your skin. Program: hat and SPF 50 protective fluid.
Avoid using heating appliances to maintain the shine of white hair
You've guessed it: white hair is more fragile and vulnerable to external aggression. Repeated use of straighteners, hairdryers and other heated appliances can damage hair, as well as making it yellow and dull. To limit damage and preserve the shine of your white or grey hair, set your hair dryer to the lowest temperature setting. As for the straightener, limit its use as much as possible (twice a week maximum between 120°C and 190°C) and protect your hair fiber with a thermo-protective spray.
