There may be many ways to grow out gray hair but they may not all be the most healthy choices you make for your precious strands. Let’s find out what the least healthy methods are, which most professionals do not recommend if you want to keep your hair growing without breaking.

1) Bleaching. This can be done to camouflage the gray by adding highlights, the more highlights you add the more damage is created to your hair.

2) Permanent hair color. May also be used for lowlights and highlights while growing out gray hair. Not as harsh compared to bleaching although permanent hair dye can still change the structure of your hair and cause dryness and split ends, in some cases can also cause hair thinning and loss.

The following are the Most recommended ways to grow out your gray hair if you don’t want to damage your hair with chemical treatments which can result in your hair’s structural integrity being compromised.

3) Go Raw. Just let your hair grow out and trim your ends monthly or as usual. This will take the longest to get rid of the root contrast.

4) Cut hair short. Some women have a difficult time cutting the length and don’t want to wait forever to grow their long hair back.

5) Shave head. Start from the beginning, all the hair dye will be gone and you’ll have a fresh start with no roots, although difficult to do if you don’t have patience and are a long-hair lover. You can accessorize and easily wear a wig if you prefer to hide your shaved head during the grow-out process. Hats, bandanas and other forms of head covers also work.
