Ageing Hair

Health & Safety:
Place an apron round the models neck to ensure their clothing is protected from any stains or damage.
Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly with soap before touching the models skin or hair.
Ensure you conduct a client consultation to check for any allergies, infections or contraindications.

Equipment Used:
- Dry Shampoo
- Supracolour Palette (Black and White)
- Disposable Mascara Wands (x2)

Step by Step:
1. If you wish to turn the whole head of hair grey then you are best off using a dry shampoo. This is easily done by spraying the areas of the hair you wish to turn grey with the dry shampoo and then slightly rubbing it through so the product doesn't just sit on the head . You can keep repeating this process until the level of grey you want is achieved.

2. However if you are looking to turn a small amount of hair grey, for example; eyelashes, eyebrows, small strands of hair or facial hair then you are better of using the black and white in the supracolour palette. Mix together the black and white supracolour (the amount of each colour you use depends on what shade of grey you wish to achieve - the more black the darker the shade of grey/the more white the lighter the shade of grey will be). Take a disposable mascara wand and run it through the mixed supracolour. Begin combing the supracolour through the hair you wish to make grey until the area is covered. Then take the clean disposable wand and comb the area. This will prevent the grey supracolour looking like its sitting on the hair and will instead make the grey hair look more realistic.

Evaluation:
I found the process of ageing hair quite straightforward and easy enough to accomplish, therefore it was not a struggle to achieve. However after experimenting on different hair types I have found that dry shampoo can struggle to both appear grey on some hair types as well as sticking to some hair types. However I think the way around this would just simply be to have to keep repeating the process when necessary.
