Illuminate Your Silver: Caring for Grey Hair at Solari Head Spa
There’s something a little timeless about embracing your natural silver or grey hair. It reflects confidence, wisdom, and effortless beauty. But sometimes, we notice the radiant silver beginning to fade or take on a yellow/brassy tone , and that can feel discouraging for our guests. At Solari Head Spa, we see this often, and we’re here to reassure you. Silver and grey hair looking dull, dingy and yellowing are completely normal, and with the right care, your hair can regain its luminous, silvery glow.
Why does silver grey hair turn yellowish? Grey and white hair are delicate by nature. Over time, the hair loses its pigment. Without pigment, they easily absorb tones and elements from their surroundings. Think of a new white shirt and then the same shirt after being worn many, many times a year later. It’s not that bright white it was when first purchased. Over time, this can lead to unwanted warmth, dullness and lack of volume.
Here are the most common reasons for hair to turn yellow:
Sun Exposure
UV rays can fade and oxidize your hair, creating yellow or golden tones on what was once pure silver.
Hard Water & Minerals
Copper and iron found in hard water can absorb and stain your strands, altering the tone and dulling the shine of your hair.
Heat Styling
Frequent blow-drying, curling, or straightening can “bronze” the hair, leaving it warm or brassy from the heat. Imagine ironing a white silk blouse. If you iron it too much, would it stay bright white as it was when it was new? No, the heat changes the fabric just like it does with light hair.
Pollution & Product Buildup
Residue from smoke, air pollutants, or even certain shampoos can create a film over the hair, dulling its brightness.
Oils & Brushes
Oils from the scalp or unclean styling tools can subtly discolor the hair over time.
Restoring Your Hair's Radiance
At Solari Head Spa, we treat silver and grey hair with the same reverence we give to skin…with care, balance, and protection. Here’s how we help you preserve that luminous, spa-fresh glow:
Start with a gentle detox.
We recommend a shower filter to remove minerals and impurities, followed by a professional scalp and hair detox treatment. Many salons offer detox treatments, but at Solari Head Spa we offer more than the regular detox or deep clarifying. The Scalp Facial is a great start removing any build up that could be dulling or discoloring your hair. This treatment helps lift buildup and restore your hair’s natural brightness. It is also very relaxing as massage techniques are incorporated to relieve tension. For a longer more luxurious treatment try the Japanese Style Head Spa.
Choose Grey-Friendly Hair Care
Not all “blonde” products are created equal. Many contain warm pigments that can discolor grey hair. Instead, we use and recommend gentle, pH-balanced formulas and silver-enhancing treatments that neutralize yellow tones while maintaining softness and hydration.
Milbon Reawaken Professional Treatment
This in-salon professional treatment restores shine, softness, and hydration to hair that feels dull or tired. It helps bring back youthful bounce and manageability—so your hair looks and feels healthy again. You’ll also receive 5 boosters to take home to keep your results lasting for weeks. The Milbon Profesional Treatments can be added on to enhance alomost all of the hair services at Solari Head Spa.
Protect from Sun and Heat
Your silver strands deserve the same care as your skin. Always apply a UV-protecting mist when outdoors and a thermal protectant before styling. Our stylists can guide you to the perfect match for your texture and daily routine to ensure you get the best products for your needs.
Refresh with Toners and Glosses
During your visit, we can apply a True Grey glossing or toning treatment to softly cancel yellow tones and boost shine and leave your silver hair glowing, silky, and beautifully reflective. These treatments protect from the sun also! Think of it as a top coat to provide a layer of protection to your hair.
Mindful Habits are Key
Clean your brushes often, avoid product overload, and treat your hair gently. Think of every wash as a small step of self-care, not just maintenance, but renewal.
