How to Look After Your Grey Transition at Home

Grey Transition/ blending is low maintenance color, but how you care for your hair at home makes a big difference to how soft and shiny your color looks as it grows out. It isn’t just about what we do in the salon; a little effort also helps the next session yield even nicer results.

The products below are all my professional recommendations: bond‑focused repair formulas with certified clinically proven results. Also, my real everyday routine is shared below 🤗

Sunny’s Reminder

To keep your grey blending looking soft and intentional:

• Toner refresh + trim: every 8–10 weeks to rebalance tone, add shine, and tidy the shape.

• Grey blending touch‑up: usually 2–3 months after a toner refresh, depending on your regrowth and grey percentage.

This timing fits most grey blending results, which typically last around 4–6 months when cared for well at home. The goal is gentle maintenance, not starting from scratch each time.
