Gray hair can be dry and fragile, so it's essential to use a mild shampoo that won't strip your hair of its natural oils. Look for shampoos like Hair Biology’s Silver & Glowing Silver Shampoo infused with biotin. Specifically formulated for gray hair, its purple formula brightens and helps correct yellow tones, so your true silver tones shine through.

A great moisturizing conditioner after each shampoo can also help keep your hair hydrated and prevent breakage. Hair Biology’s Silver & Glowing Silver Conditioner is specially designed for gray hair and restores moisture, softness, and shine.

Pro Tip: Paying particular attention to the ends, make sure to leave your conditioner on for a few minutes just before rinsing it off for added moisture.

Curly hair is prone to tangling, so using a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair gently is vital. With your conditioner or a detangler already applied, start at the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots. Pro-Tip: Regular hair trims will help to keep your curly gray hair healthy and prevent split ends, too. Aim to get a trim every six to eight weeks.

An effective hair serum can help to tame frizz and add shine to your curly gray hair. Hair Biology’s Silver & Glowing Silver Serum infuses softness and shine to silver hair and is paraben free. Complete your look by dispensing 1-2 pumps into damp or dry hair. Formulated as a leave-in, do not rinse and style as usual. For best results, use with our complete line of Hair Biology’s age-inspired Silver & Glowing collection.

Last, but certainly not least, avoid heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons as they can damage curly gray hair, making it more prone to frizz and breakage. Try to limit your use of these tools as much as possible. A little-known fact is that the sun can also cause damage to your hair, especially if it's already dry, dyed, or fragile. Make sure to wear a hat or use a scarf to protect your hair from becoming discolored or weakened while you’re soaking up those rays.
