Transition
Grey Hair Grow-Out Plan
Build a realistic grey hair grow-out plan with timelines, salon options, trims, care routines, and ways to handle the root line.
Transition is a plan, not a single haircut
Going grey works best when grow-out, blending, wash-day tone, and confidence each have a job. Start with stages of going grey, then choose blending phase or a fuller grow-out plan based on contrast at the root.
If work visibility is the stressor, read going grey at work. For daily maintenance once silver dominates, move into the embrace silo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the stages of going grey?
Most people move from first visible roots through a mixed mid-phase into higher silver coverage. Timing varies; stages help you plan cuts, blending, and wash routines—not predict exact months.
How do I blend grey hair while growing out dye?
Blending softens the line with lowlights, glosses, cuts, or partial color. It is a bridge strategy, not a requirement. See the blending phase guide for salon language.
How do I go grey at work without looking unfinished?
Prioritize a deliberate cut, clean tone, and a simple styling routine. Workplace confidence is often about shape and polish more than perfect ice-white color.
