“I think I am ready to go all Grey and embrace my natural…”

This is a conversation I had a lot during Covid but is still a common request in the salon today. In this client’s case, she is moving to Florida and doesn’t want to have to find a new stylist down there and we have been planning this transformation for two years.

Part of that planning was strategically planning when we would take her blonde first, and then when we would stop her root touch ups all together so we could start to see what her natural palette really was.

After 3 months of natural growth we had enough natural exposure to match the ends to her natural salt and pepper pattern and we could do the grand transformation into “natural grey hair.”

I am now going to share with you how I, Sage Kinney, go about this process… is this the only way, hell no, but If you are stuck on what to do, this DOES work.

Step 1: grab your before pics, because you’ll be super pissed at yourself when this works and you don’t have a good post to make after. THEN start mentally visualizing where the salt pieces live (white hair) and the pepper pieces live (the dark hair). In this case, my client had way more pepper in the back with just sprinkles of salt and in the front is where the heavy concentration of salt lived with a few full salt patches.

Step 2: The Formulations
The key thing with creating your formulas is assessing whether your pepper is a level 4-7 and I determined Emily was a level 6 pepper and to get a good dark grey you have to cancel out ALL the warmth. The formula that I find is tried and true is

Goldwell Topchic 6A (20mls) 6SB (20mls) 6MB (20mls) and 3% developer ….. I also added in cool violet, green, and blue pure pigment drops to enhance the pepper and give reflective shine

Now you can just use this as your pepper formula but I like to use a “sheer pepper” formula to help avoid the canvas from getting too dark and keeping dimension. That sheer pepper formula is:

Goldwell Elumen Gy@6

Now that we have our pepper formulas, the next thing we need is our decolorizing formulas for all of that salt:
