Gray and white hair: natural processes and external causes

Gray and white hair are the result of a natural process called canities, which occurs when hair follicles gradually stop producing melanin, the pigment responsible for the hair's natural color.

This phenomenon is primarily linked to aging but can also be influenced by genetic factors—some people start seeing their first silver strands at a young age!

However, beyond the natural progression of time, external factors can also affect the appearance of gray and white hair. These include:

• Exposure to UV rays
• Pollution
• Smoking
• Frequent use of harsh chemical products
• Excessive heat from hair dryers and straighteners
  
  

The combination of these elements can dull the hair’s natural shine and often lead to unwanted yellowish tones.

Understanding the factors that affect the health of our hair is the first step to keeping it bright and natural! But let’s remember that this change (which many of us fear!) should not be seen as a flaw, but rather as an inevitable part of the hair’s life cycle.

The importance of proper care for gray and white hair

As we mentioned, taking care of gray and white hair is essential to keep it shiny and healthy.

This type of hair tends to be much drier and more fragile compared to pigmented hair (have you ever noticed how those first white hairs stand out, stiff and unyielding?!). The lack of melanin makes them more vulnerable to external factors and more prone to developing that annoying yellowish tint.

Adopting a specific hair care routine helps prevent these issues: using gentle, hydrating, and anti-yellow products is key to keeping gray and white hair soft, strong, and radiant.

A targeted treatment, preferably with natural ingredients, will combat yellowing and revitalize the hair, enhancing the unique beauty of these distinctive colors.

How to remove yellow tones from white hair?

Now, let's get to the tricky part!

One of the most common issues with white hair—and also with blonde hair that wants to maintain its cool tones—is the tendency to develop warm, yellowish highlights.

No need to worry! Eliminating those annoying yellow highlights naturally is possible; you just need to find the right treatments and follow a few simple tips during washing.

The main goal is to restore the hair's natural shine while enhancing the neutral and cool tones of white, blonde, and gray hair.

Certainly, avoiding excessive sun exposure and limiting the use of heat styling tools are also crucial steps in preventing yellowing. And who hasn’t used natural remedies like chamomile rinses or apple cider vinegar to tackle this issue?

Currently, one of the most effective solutions is the combined use of Antioxidant Shampoo and Anti-Yellow Mask, formulated with pigments that neutralize yellowish tones.

Natural treatments: the new Anti-Yellow Line from La Saponaria

La Saponaria has developed the highly anticipated Anti-Yellow Line: a new routine consisting of an antioxidant shampoo and a 100% natural anti-yellow pigment mask that will delight many gray, white, or bleached hair types that often display unwanted yellow highlights. This line includes an Antioxidant Shampoo with Organic Blueberry and Arginine and an Anti-Yellow Mask with Organic Blueberry and Amla, both formulated with high-quality natural ingredients.

Let’s take a closer look at them now!

Antioxidant shampoo

Do you want to add vibrancy to your color and a touch of extra shine?

The new Antioxidant Shampoo with Organic Blueberry and Arginine is here for you!

Hair, just like our skin, suffers from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, leading to premature graying and hair loss. To combat this phenomenon and protect hair from environmental damage, antioxidants are incredibly useful as they counteract free radicals and prevent their harmful effects.

The Organic Blueberry and Arginine Shampoo is rich in antioxidants: the constitutional water from Organic Blackberries, Vitamin E, and Arginine work together to counteract oxidative damage and its direct consequences on the scalp and hair. The Amla extract has strengthening properties, is rich in tannins that combat graying, and helps preserve the shine and vibrancy of color. Arginine helps limit moisture loss from the hair shaft, keeping the hair hydrated and flexible, reducing breakage. Betaine and Saccaride Isomerate provide hydration, while fruit acids (AHA) have a smoothing and shine-enhancing effect on the hair.

The extra-green note? The Blackcurrant Water in the Antioxidant Shampoo and Anti-Yellow Mask is a circular recovery ingredient sourced from the high Val Varaita region, where an herbal company recycles waste water, transforming it into a valuable ingredient for our hair! The Nettle and Fruit Acids (AHA) also come from upcycling projects.

Anti-yellow mask

Your new ally for a wonderfully cool mane with no traces of yellow!

The Anti-Yellow Mask with Organic Blueberry and Amla has been designed to revitalize hair and enhance the neutral and cool tones of white, blonde, and gray hair. The 100% natural purple pigment neutralizes unwanted yellow highlights. Organic Blueberry, Organic Amla, and Arginine are natural antioxidants that help combat premature graying and protect the vibrancy of color. Beetroot, Betaine, and Flaxseed keep hair hydrated, flexible, and soft!

The fragrance is an intense and successful blend of juicy red fruits. The slightly acidic pH of this mask seals the hair cuticles, keeping them disciplined, compact, and healthier.

Practical tips for using the anti-yellow mask

How to use the anti-yellow mask?

On your first use, mix all the contents of the packet found under the cap into the mask. Stir carefully to ensure that the 100% natural pigment is fully absorbed into the mask. You’ll know the process is successful when the mask takes on a delicious violet color!

At this point, after using the Antioxidant Shampoo, apply the Anti-Yellow Mask, distributing it evenly throughout your hair.

How long should you leave the mask on and what happens if you leave it on too long?

We recommend leaving the mask on for 5 minutes—no more, no less! It’s important not to exceed the recommended application time, as prolonged use could alter the color of your hair.

Respect the timing and then rinse thoroughly.

How long does the mask's effect last and how many times a week should you use it?

To achieve the best results with La Saponaria's Anti-Yellow Mask, it is advisable to use it once or twice a week.

The effects of the anti-yellow mask typically last until the next wash, but with regular use, your hair will maintain a bright and yellow-free tone.
