Hair matting: what is it and what problems will this dyeing method help solve?

Matting is a procedure that involves neutralizing yellowness in natural gray hair. Most often, masters resort to matting to color male clients.

In essence, this is a light coloring of gray hair without changing the natural color of the hair in those areas where there is no gray hair yet. As a result, the client receives an even natural color without unwanted warm shades and the effect of regrown roots.

The matting procedure in a salon or barbershop takes approximately 10 minutes, and the effect can be called long-term, since it lasts up to three weeks. On average, this is the frequency of visits to the hairdresser to update the haircut, which can be combined with matting.

The process of matting gray hair is as follows: a special corrector is applied to the hair, which can not only muffle gray hair, but also instantly give the hair a natural color, shine and softness.

In what cases is hair matting necessary?

When it is important to preserve the client's natural hair color

An important nuance of working with gray hair for male clients is naturalness, even when working with gray hair. This is a popular request that will help you make the right successful selection of paint, the color of which is as close as possible to the natural palette.

Highlights of gray hair

Often clients do not agree to coloring with permanent dyes; they only want to slightly hide their gray hair. Therefore, a completely relevant option is to matte hair with light tints of gray.

Regrown roots

The contrast between natural and dyed hair looks strange, and while female clients are accustomed to the process of touching up their roots, it will most likely cause discomfort for men. Matting gray hair will help with undetectable regrowth.

Unwanted shine

Another feature of gray hair coloring for men is that the hair should not be shiny.
