“Her Smile Says It All!” People Praise This Hair Pro for Helping His Mom Go Gray

A professional hairstylist dyes his mother’s graying hair to match her natural salt-and-pepper color. Now, she can’t hold back her smile.

Growing out gray hair is all about discipline and commitment. One common way to embrace silver locks is to dye your hair gray for a seamless transition between your natural salt-and-pepper hair and gray hair, or blend gray hair with highlights. But to get a gorgeous silver mane at the end, the hair transformation process needs a professional touch from a hair color specialist.

For Guy Tang, a talented hair educator and colorist, helping his clients get their dream hair color is the ultimate flex. This time, he offers his service and artistic vision to the most loyal and supportive client – his mother. Watch her priceless reaction to this incredible transition to gray.

Salt & Pepper

“My mom wanted to transition to gray hair gracefully and no longer color her hair anymore,” the hairstylist explains. The whole process took him over 8 hours with multiple steps and tons of foils, but the result was worth the effort. The first and most important step is to get rid of old hair dye and break the line of demarcation.

To achieve this, the hairstylist uses a color remover on the ends that helps him extract oxidative dyes his mom used before. The next step is to lift the color-treated hair as light as possible, taking it to blonde before putting a chosen shade of gray on top of that.

Full Head of Foils

Guy Tang opts for a cream lightener to lift the hair to a level 10. He foils every single strand, which takes him all day and probably a hundred foils. Once the old color is gone, and the hair turns into a blank canvas, the hair specialist removes brassy tones to make the new hair color stick and achieve the desired result.

Because his mother’s grays are mainly pepper, the colorist decides to add more salt to the hair and chooses silver shade as the base color. The result is a dazzling charcoal gray hair tone that matches the natural color pattern and allows growing grays gracefully. Still, even the most swoon-worthy gray hair transformation needs special maintenance for healthy and shiny locks.

Grand Reveal

Many hair fans comment on Guy Tang’s work, praising the hair artist for his talent and skills. “Your mom is stunning and beautiful. And I love what she did with her hair, thanks for going through that explaining that so helpful,” one follower says. “Wowza, somehow she looks even younger…beautiful,” another user adds.

Graying with grace is every woman’s dream. Let this jaw-dropping hair transformation be your sign to embrace your silver strands with pride!
