Greetings from the red carpet here in Hollywood.  I must say you’ve come to the right place for beauty, fashion and everything “fabulous after 40!”  I’m thrilled to be part of the team for hair, make-up and skin care tips and yes, intelligence does start to show up a little more in these fine years in the form of silver linings here and there.   But fortunately, there are lots of options.

First of all – red is a very difficult color to commit to if you’re concerned about grey coverage.   Red fades the fastest, needs more routine touch-ups to keep the color true and vibrant, and it’s hard to shift or move the color once its set.    I suggest moving into a brunette with highlights.    Anytime you use a single process color to cover grey, the regrowth is very obvious because of the single process application.  However if you break up the color with subtle highlights, then the regrowth is not as obvious and you can get a little more “wear and tear” out of the color.

In the meantime, try going brunette with subtle highlights.  I think you’ll like the results, and I think you’ll be less frustrated by regrowth and in-salon time.

In beauty,

Billy Lowe

P.S.

I’m excited to roll out my Billy Lowe Be Beautifull campaign this year where I’m traveling around the country, working with clients  just like you and helping them discover the right cut/color/styling.  Many clients may never make it to Hollywood or New York for their own make-over, so this year, I’m bringing the red carpet to you.    So if your salon is interested in hosting a fabulous week with celebrity beauty brought right to you, please feel free to reach out to my team by visiting billylowe.com.
