If the taboo of white hair seems to have lifted in recent years, especially with successive confinements, assuming it is not always easy.
Especially when the first signs appear and the hair is far from uniform.
So how can you best support this transition to silver hair?
Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker seem to have found the solution.
Or their colorist at least.

Smooth transition
Thus the technique of
Herringbone highlights
that can be translated as “herringbone sweeping” would be the secret for a smooth transition.
Like Gray Blending (a scan that plays between coloring and bleaching all over the hair to make everything uniform).

Interviewed by the English edition of
Vogue
magazine , colorist Zoë Irwin explains that the chevron technique she has used for a long time is "to blend several shades harmoniously rather than completely hiding gray hair".
Last May, it was hairstylist Tom Smith who insisted on the importance of highlighting these using “a herringbone highlight pattern”.
"Various shades are worked among the gray locks, resulting in a finely balanced blend of warm and cool tones," the professional explained to
Glamor magazine.
.
And “rather than superimposing the reflections, they fit on top of each other (in chevrons, hence the name of the technique) in order to obtain a more natural mixture”.
And the hairdresser insists on the fact that it is important not to alternate each shade, "but to disperse and diffuse the different shades by composing with the irregular pattern of your own gray hair".
In an interview with Rachel Zoe's site,
TZR
, he even says he presents his clients with photos of celebrities next to three different types of herringbone flooring to determine which tone works best for them.
"I use images of wooden floors to help them visualize."
Your medium for brunettes
And if the two VIP examples cited are blond, the technique can also be applied to brunettes.
“For those with darker hair that turns gray, I find a medium tone, like a dark blonde, and weave it thinly into the hair,” details Zoë Irwin.
The whole thing being to mix “warmer beige tones and cooler shades to create balance and avoid any dullness”.
We now know the secret to better living this period of hair transition.
And if Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker are followers, why not follow them?
