Book Three: Transition – Achieving the Blend

The art of placement. The science of subtlety. The heart of the transition journey.

This third booklet in the How to Grey Hair Transition series takes you into the essential next phase—blending. Designed for hair professionals ready to move beyond consultation and begin the physical transformation, this guide focuses on how to seamlessly integrate natural white or grey regrowth into pre-existing colour with skill, strategy, and sensitivity.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• The ideal regrowth length for a successful blend and why timing is everything.
• How to read the hair’s natural patterns and work with (not against) dominant colour characteristics.
• Precise sectioning, weaving, and foil placement techniques that respect the hair’s integrity while maximising your results.
• Colour application strategies for both lightening and deepening—where to place product, what to avoid, and how to adapt for complex banding or previous colour build-up.
• The crucial role of lifting to the correct shade and how to assess this visually (think: peeled banana).
• Toner selection based on natural warmth, hair porosity, and guest skin tone, with an emphasis on achieving balance—not just ash.
• Professional timing, rinsing, and heat-drying protocols that protect the hair’s condition and elevate your results.

From the first foil to the final toner, Book Three guides you through Step One of a three-visit process, laying the groundwork for a beautifully blended grey transition. With detailed visuals, real-case insights, and expert do’s and don’ts, this is your hands-on manual for executing a premium colour transition with confidence and care.
