Tips for gray hair care

The care of natural gray hair is different from the hair that still has pigment. This is because gray hair is a lot stiffer and/or more fragile. The Keune hair experts explain why and tell you how to best care for naturally gray hair.

Your hair consists of three layers. Of these, the outermost layer is called the cuticle. For most people, this cuticle consists of 6 to 10 smaller layers. As your hair greys, these layers increase and the cuticle often consists of 12 to 16 layers. This causes hair to become harder, stiffer, and frizzy. In addition, gray hair has no more pigment so the shine decreases, and the hair becomes much more fragile. Good care for gray hair is essential.
