Question 1

What is gray blending and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Gray blending is a hair color technique that integrates your natural gray with your existing hair color rather than fully covering it. At Taylor Monroe in San Francisco, we use demi-permanent color for soft, gradual grow-out; permanent color freehand-painted to disguise root lines; or highlights and balayage for clients who are 75% or more gray.
