Grey Hair FAQ | Expert Answers
Updated: Mar 4
Curious about grey hair? Not sure how to manage your grey hair? At Fiolet Hair in Lathlain, Perth, we answer the questions we hear most often from clients navigating their grey hair journey.
Is there a right age to go grey?
There’s no “right” age. Grey hair appears according to your genetics, hormones, and life stage. How you choose to manage it is completely unique to you. The best time to embrace it is when it feels right for you.
Does grey hair need more salon visits?
Not necessarily. Options like blending techniques or embracing natural grey can be lower maintenance than full coverage colour. Your maintenance schedule depends on the look you choose and your hair type.
Can grey hair look dull?
Yes. Without the right care, toning, and haircut, grey hair can lose its shine and appear flat. Professional treatments and at-home care help maintain its natural luminosity.
Why is my grey hair harder to style?
Grey hair is often wirier, drier, and behaves differently than pigmented hair. You may need to adjust your styling techniques or use different products to achieve your desired look.
Should I wash my touch-up spray or powder before a salon visit?
Ideally, yes. Excess products can prevent professional colour from fully adhering. If you forget, our stylists can easily remove it with a wet towel before your appointment.
How can I stop grey hairs from sticking up?
Grey hairs often start short and fine, so they can stick up as they grow.
Use a clear mascara wand or a soft toothbrush with a little hairspray to gently tame flyaways.
Be patient. Grey hairs usually settle into place as the old hair naturally falls out from the follicle.
