TURNING YOUR HAIR GREY?  LET’S PLAY!

Hair turns grey naturally with age. Grey hair comes from the pigment melanin, found in the core of each hair. There are only two types of pigment: dark (eumelanin) or light (phaeomelanin). Combined in various combinations, these pigments create all-natural hair colors. When there is more eumelanin than phaeomelanin, you get black hair.

Grey can also be made by mixing black and white or combining equal amounts of cyan, magenta, and yellow. This can be done in dreadlocks extensions to give them a nice aged look.
