Haircare trends focus on gray transitions and layered volume

Haircare experts are offering guidance on managing hair transitions and styling to enhance appearance. Stylist Ana Martínez, education manager at Oh my Cut!, notes that a common mistake is dyeing hair immediately before attempting to transition to natural gray. She explains that the contrast between dark artificial pigment and natural gray roots can be highly visible, especially with dark colors. Martínez suggests two main approaches: a full transformation to recover natural gray hair, which is a longer process depending on pigment accumulation, or techniques to integrate gray strands with the rest of the hair to soften the demarcation line.

Regarding hair structure, stylists are recommending a move away from strictly straight, flat styles in favor of layered cuts. Layered hair is suggested to add volume, movement, and body to the hair, particularly for those with fine hair. When properly distributed, layers can frame the face, highlight cheekbones, and soften facial features, providing a more dynamic and rejuvenated look without necessarily sacrificing length.
