If you have just started to notice gray hairs popping up, you might be more of a candidate for spot treating.
"There are several great options for concealing grays in between color services," Kaeding said. "Temporary root sprays work great in a pinch and are typically long-lasting."
Below are a few brands that Kaeding stands by.
"For strengthening gray hair at home, look be sure to look for a gentle cleansing shampoo that won't cause buildup or damage to your hair," Kaeding said. "K18's pH Maintenance Shampoo is an excellent choice. It's pH-optimized for a mild, yet effective cleanse and is micro-dosed with their K18 peptide to prevent protein loss during washing. This can really help to maintain the strength and integrity of your hair."
"I also love their Leave-in Molecular Repair Mask," Kaeding added. "It's formulated to repair damage from bleach, color treatments, chemical services and heat in just four minutes. This product works wonders in improving the overall health and strength of your hair."
Struggling with density and overall hair strength? Kaeding said gray hair often loses density over time due to many factors, including genetics and changes in the hair follicles.
Thankfully, there are a few ways to help improve your scalp at home with treatments. Kaeding said these treatments will help remove buildup and debris from the scalp, promoting a healthier environment for hair growth.
"To help with the loss of shine that typically occurs with gray hair, I am a huge fan of K18's Leave-in Molecular Repair Oil," Kaeding said. "It is lightweight, reduces frizz and adds incredible shine to the hair."
To address pigment loss in gray hair, Kaeding said, you can use a color depositing shampoo or conditioner for temporary results. Or, for a longer-lasting solution, you can opt for permanent hair color or highlights.
Kaeding suggests using a clarifying or detox shampoo to dissolve excess sebum if your hair is getting oily between washes.
"I love the Detox Shampoo from K18, it removes up to 95% of sebum," Kaeding said. "On days between shampoos, a quality dry shampoo can be your best friend. It helps absorb excess oil, refreshes your hair, and can add volume."
