One fine day, rhythmically and like someone who does not want the thing, appears in the middle of our pristine hair slinky, shimmery hair, halfway between gray and white† We distinguish it from the rest, we watch it with suspicion and examine it very carefully under all the lights we can find in our house, until that first suspicion is confirmed: indeed, it’s a gray one† You think about ripping it out or cutting it, but the truth is it will always be there, it will stoically come back.
This is just an anecdote, because over the years it will be not one, but several gray hairs that dot our hair and sneak right into those visible areas with premeditation and betrayal: the forehead, temples or just where you usually draw the part of the hair† The truth is that sometimes this process is not even due to age, but it occurs at a younger age. Through genetic causes, due to lack of vitamin B12, folic acid, iron or zinc, or due to stress their presence may be much earlier than we expected.
Nothing happens, at this point we can consider several alternatives and freely choose the one that: let’s feel better with ourselves and with which we feel most comfortable. The choice is in our hands. On the one hand, we can completely dye them and cover them with natural or classic dyes. for others, let them grow without touching the rest of the hair in the purest Andie MacDowell style. And it’s that we all remember the lead actress of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” who showed her transitional hair at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021, away from her manager’s requests, as she stated herself. Finally, we have the middle option where the crux lies integrate gray hair with the rest of our hair using highlights and reflections in tones that will give us more or less nuances, depending on what we are looking for. Without a doubt, if this season we have to talk about highlights that intertwine the gray locksyes or yes, we have to call it the most fashionable alternative according to experts, the very thing that actresses like Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron or Gwyneth Paltrow have chosen: the blades in spike†
What are spike wicks?

To understand it better, Raphael Goodfrom Rafael Bueno Hairdressersexplains: “With this new technique, the aim is not to work on gray hair, but rather intertwine different shades to a mixture that promotes the harmony and naturalness of the hair† In this way we take advantage of the gray locks and bring brightness and personalization to the hair. This type of haircut needs less salon carebut always keeping in mind that they need to be hydrated”.
