The soft movement of the hair ends brings out a youthful look.
Kyoko Shioda (56 years old)

About 10 years ago, Mr. Shioda started dyeing his gray hair. “She was also using henna, but I stopped using it in the fall of the year before last because I was worried that her roots would soon turn white,” says Ms. Shiota.
If you check the Before photo, you can see that gray, brown, and black are clearly separated.

There is also a method to remove the color of the gray hair dye, but this time, I decided to leave the color of the hair as it is and add yellow gold highlights to make it look familiar with both gray and black hair.
The neo- gray hair looks stylish, and the three colors of the remaining gray hair dye, gray hair, and black hair create a rich expression along with the movement of the hair. Since the amount is large and spreads easily, I put a layer around the face and cut it to create a soft movement and a light impression.
“I usually wear my hair up when I am at work, but after a long time, I have a down style and it feels fresh,” says Shioda.
With gray hair styles that incorporate color changes, you can enjoy the transition period without feeling embarrassed when you stop dyeing your gray hair.

side & back
I have a lot of hair, so I put layers around my face to make it look more dynamic. By adding yellow gold highlights, the color remaining at the ends of the hair and the base hair will blend in, and the dullness will be erased with a glossy shine.
The gray hair remaining at the tip of the hair is dyed, and the white and black hair that has grown in is a gradation. I add highlights and let it blend in.

Leaves a little weight and manages soft curly hair well!
Yukari Matsuhashi (55 years old)

Mr. Matsuhashi is worried about thin, soft hair that does not give volume. With a gradation from one length, cut without adding many steps and calm the ends.
If you use the movement of your habit to create nuances in how black and white hair look, you can create stylish gray hair! The gentle movement and short bangs create a gentle atmosphere.
side & back
After cutting in one length, adding a gradation will make the ends of the hair more manageable. The one-length base makes it easy to tie, knit, and arrange. The habitual movement gives it a natural charm.
Add personality with sunglasses and accessories. The charm of gray hair is that you can enjoy fashion regardless of age.

Bleach the remaining black hair to platinum brown

A bob style with a layer on the surface of the hair to create volume on the top. Leave a little weight and finish elegantly.
The imbalance between gray hair and black hair is adjusted by bleaching the black hair, and the white hair is colored in a platinum brown that does not stand out.
side & back
The hair flow from the rising bangs to the side is beautiful and elegant. Light hair color will eliminate the dullness of the skin.
The back style has a heavy hem, but the effect of the hair color and the layers on the surface creates a light atmosphere.

Naoko Yamamoto (59 years old)

Mr. Yamamoto has 70% white hair, no coloring, natural gray hair. By adding layers, you can create movement and add a sense of looseness.
People tend to give up on long hair when their gray hair increases, but with regular haircuts and care, even gray hair can be attractively long. Layers are added to the ends of the hair to create a weight that balances movement.
side & back
Long hair down to chest. For fine, soft, and unruly hair, we add layers to create movement.
A little more black hair on the back side. The movement of the hair ends with layers creates a three-dimensional effect, and adds an expression to the weight.

Sakie Naito (51 years old)

A gentle hair flow that leads from the bangs to the ends of the curled hair. Add movement around your face to create femininity and glamor. I have a lot of hair, so I add layers to give it some movement and give it a light finish.
Use an ash color as a highlighter to cover the gray hair. Wrap it with a curler or curling iron for a gorgeous look.
