GREY & TEXTURED HAIR: HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE HAIR TRANSITION

GREY & TEXTURED HAIR: HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE HAIR TRANSITION

The appearance of grey hair is a natural stage in your hair care journey. However, if you have textured hair (wavy, curly, coily or afro), this transition can raise even more questions. Different texture, increased dryness, loss of definition…

At COHEA, we see grey hair not as a constraint, but as a new texture to be revealed.

Why does hair turn grey?

Grey hair appears when the production of melanin, the natural pigment responsible for color, gradually decreases.
This natural phenomenon is often linked to age, but can also be influenced by other factors such as genetics, stress and nutritional deficiencies.

In wavy, curly, coily and afro hair, this change is sometimes more noticeable because it is accompanied by a change in texture and definition.

A new texture

As grey hairs appear, the hair fibre changes and becomes:

  • drier,
  • more porous,
  • thicker or, on the contrary, more fragile.

This can result in less defined curls that are harder to style. It’s nothing you can’t overcome, but it does mean you’ll need to adapt your hair care routine.

A new hair care routine

To preserve the natural beauty of your textured grey hair, a few adjustments are essential:

  • Look after your scalp for a smooth hair transition.
  • Use more hydrating products: grey hair needs more hydration than normal hair.
  • Choose hydrating, long-lasting styling products to maintain good definition.

To color your grey hair… or not to color it?

Whether you start with colored or natural hair, the transition to grey hair often involves a phase where the line between the two is clearly visible. There are several options available to you:

  • Embrace your grey hair and celebrate your new, characterful look.
  • Permanent coloring to fully cover the grey hair and even out the color.
  • Use semi-permanent color to blend the grey hair seamlessly with the rest of your hair for a smooth transition.

Hair transition: COHEA is here to guide you

Going grey is often much more than just a cosmetic change. It’s an invitation to slow down, to listen to your hair in a new way, and to rethink your hair care routine.

At COHEA, we support you through your transition with a personalised approach that respects your natural hair texture and is tailored to your preferences and needs. For those who don’t like grey hair, we opt for a semi-permanent color treatment to achieve a natural-looking result in a gentle way.
