A man with grey hair is often viewed as being distinguished and debonair. If you are in your early twenties and starting to grey, you may not like the look as much as a man who is in his late forties would. The following guide helps you learn a few things that can be done at the local hair salon to update your look without making the change overly obvious to everyone around you.

Add Lowlights

Lowlights are darker shades of hair dye that can be added throughout your hair to mask the grey hairs a bit. The lowlights do not dramatically change the overall color of your hair because they are added sporadically over your entire head. You can choose to have brown, black, or even red lowlights to your hair to mask the grey that may be growing.

Add Highlights

Highlights are added by using lighter colored dye to lighten certain hairs on your head. Like lowlights, they are added sporadically throughout your entire head to create an even look. The highlights will make the greys that are growing less noticeable because you will have other hairs that are a rich blond or light brown color. The greys will blend in so that they can barely be seen by the naked eye.

Apply All Over Coverage

If you feel that highlights or lowlights are a bit too dramatic of a look for you, consider having all of your hair dyed. The stylist can match the hair dye to your natural hair color and dye your entire head the same color so that the greys are completely hidden from sight. When the hair starts to grow, the greys will be noticeable,though, and you will need to get your hair dye touched up .

Shave it Off

The last option you have available to you is to simply have all of your hair shaved from your head. Shaving your hair will remove any signs of grey and leave you with a very finished look. You will need to decide if you want to have a smooth scalp where your head is shaved with a razor blade or if having your head shaved with clippers will be short enough for you.

Looking your age is important to many men. Looking older than you have to should not be an option in today's day and age. Take control of the way you look and allow a stylist to quickly and easily update your look for you. If you want to save money on the overall cost of your transformation, consider being a test subject at a local hair school. The students always need to practice their dying skills, and the school charges a fraction of what a salon will charge for the same services. For more information, contact a hair school such as Donato Academy of Hairstyling and Aesthetics.
