Things Men Should Consider Before Coloring Their Grey Hair

For many guys, going grey is a real blow to the self confidence and to some, grey hair is associated with old age. Conversely, many people consider a full head of gray hair to be quite appealing. Because most guys can't look as good as George Clooney, many choose not to go grey gracefully and turn to the bottle for help with the hair color. Before you decide to color your grey hair, the following are a few things to consider:


· A Professional Will Almost Always Produce Better Results.

While there are several "just for men" home coloring kits, a professional colorist will be able to mix exactly the right color formula to ensure a natural looking result. A few companies now produce excellent professional hair coloring for men, for instance, Redken Men Color Camo, a salon service that takes about ten minutes. The color fades over time, so you don't get a dramatic color change as it grows out.


· Regular Coloring Can Be Expensive.

 Expect to pay about $30 to $50 or more (excluding haircut and tip) for a men's color treatment and plan on having it done every two to four weeks. For professional results, the price is worth it. Your hair should never look as though it has just been colored or that it needs color.


· Natural Color Can Be Hard to Achieve at Home. 

For any type of color service, it is highly recommended that you seek the services of a professional as the results will almost always be more natural. Of course, for some, this option can be prohibitively expensive. Should you choose to color at home, purchase a product specifically for men, and always do a patch test to make sure you are on the right track. Please remember to follow the instructions as closely as possible for satisfactory results. You'll achieve a more natural result if your hair is a "standard" color. For home use, Just For Men, an over-the-counter hair color, produces good results.
