WE'VE GOT YOUR GRAY HAIR COVERED

Learn how to effectively cover grays, what makes gray hair different, and the easy application process to achieve the best results possible.

Gray Coverage 101

It’s a fact: Gray hair is harder to colour. That’s because it’s more coarse and, therefore, more difficult for hair colour to penetrate the follicle. The solution? Choose a hair colour formula specifically made for gray coverage and follow the timing instructions to a T!

PERMANENT SOLUTIONS FOR GRAY HAIR

The effective, long-term solution to cover grays at the root.

What To Use

For standard gray coverage, apply your favorite permanent colour, like Olia or Nutrisse. Both options offer 100% gray coverage, rich colour and shiny, silky hair. If you have stubborn grays (too stubborn for regular colour), try Nutrisse Ultra Coverage—our first at-home hair colour solution with CoverPlus technology, specially formulated for 100% coverage on hard-to-cover, extra-resistant grays.

How To Use

Apply the colour only at your roots, let it develop for the time on your instruction sheet, then pull it through your hair to blend andrevamp your look. To ensure complete saturation of stubborn grays, massage or comb the colour as needed into resistant strands, then follow regular timing and rinsing instructions"
