Grey Blending

Grey blending is a personalised hair colouring technique that softens the contrast between natural grey hair and existing colour. At BRUSH Amsterdam, we use carefully selected techniques such as highlights, lowlights and toning to create a seamless, dimensional blend tailored to your natural grey pattern and desired look.

Not at all. Grey blending isn't about becoming fully grey unless that's your goal. Whether you love your brunette, blonde, balayage or highlights, we can design a colour that incorporates your natural greys while preserving the shades you love. Your grey becomes part of your look, not necessarily the dominant colour.

Yes, grey blending can be adapted to dark brunette and black hair. Because natural greys create a stronger contrast against dark colours, the technique requires careful planning. We balance depth and lighter tones to soften that contrast while maintaining a colour that complements your complexion and personal style.

In many cases, yes. However, years of permanent colour or black box dye can make the transition more complex. Previously coloured hair may lift unevenly or reveal unwanted warmth. Our specialists assess your colour history and hair condition before creating a gradual, personalised plan. Some transformations require multiple appointments.

Traditional grey coverage aims to conceal grey hair with a more uniform colour, often creating a noticeable regrowth line. Grey blending works with your natural greys, using complementary shades to soften the transition between your roots and lengths. The result is a more dimensional colour with less obvious regrowth.

Grey blending can be lower maintenance than traditional root coverage because natural greys are integrated rather than completely concealed. The frequency of touch-ups depends on your grey percentage, chosen techniques and desired finish. Toners and lighter colour accents may still need refreshing to maintain their tone and dimension.

At BRUSH Amsterdam, grey blending appointments generally take approximately 2–5 hours, depending on your starting colour, hair length, colour history and the complexity of your desired transformation. More extensive colour corrections may require a staged approach across multiple visits.

Our grey blending treatments start from €595. The final price depends on your hair's starting condition, previous colour treatments, the techniques required and the complexity of your desired result. A personalised assessment helps us determine the most suitable treatment plan and associated costs.

Grey blending often involves professional colouring or lightening, which can affect the condition of your hair. At BRUSH, we assess your hair's strength, colour history and suitability before recommending a technique. We prioritise the integrity of your hair and may recommend a gradual transformation when extensive lightening is required.

To keep your blend looking refined, use professional colour-safe haircare suited to your hair's condition and tone. Depending on your colour, we may recommend hydrating treatments, bond-repair products or occasional toning care. Your BRUSH colour specialist will advise on a personalised homecare routine and maintenance schedule.
