The 7 Best Grooming Products for Men With Grey Hair

Studies suggest that by the age of 40, at least half of men will have some grey hair. Achromotrichia, by its medical name, is just what Mother Nature has planned out for us. And sure, while it might cut deep for some guys, we're of the opinion that going grey shouldn't cause the kind of worry it once did.

Thanks to a roster of famous men who've gone grey gracefully – Patrick Dempsey, Idris Elba, Euphoria's Eric Dane, Oscar Isaac and Pierce Brosnan – the look has never been cooler. But allowing your hair to flourish without going dull or brassy does require some maintenance – and if you do plan to disguise your ageing barnet with a dye, it's important that you pick the right product.

So, to give you a headstart, we've compiled a list of the best products out there right now that will help you on your journey...

If you do keep your grey hair, you run the risk of it developing a yellow tint over time due to environmental factors. But before you panic, there's an antidote. L’Oréal Metal Detox shampoo removes hard-water metals like copper, calcium, and iron to give grey hair the protection it needs.

Likewise, Oribe's Silverati Shampoo helps to maintain greys. Specially formulated for grey and white strands, the illuminating shampoo undoes dullness and yellow tones, revealing softer and brighter hair.

Taking care of grey hair is key, and that means not allowing it to dry out. Grey and white hair has no melanin in it, so it is susceptible toi sun damage. The fix? A few squirts of Rahua's Morete oil, which has provides a UV defence barrier.

Grey hair is more prone to drying out than hair filled with melanin, so ensure it's hydrated. Kevin Murphy's Hydrate Me Rinse is enriched with kakadu plum, (which has the highest concentration of vitamin C of any known plant) to provide antioxidant protection and boost the hydration levels of your hair.

The key to hydrated hair, is a looked-after scalp. Harnessing the power of plant cell culture technology, a first of its kind, the Cold Processed Scalp Detox is an oil-based formula targeting build-up and flakiness for a fresh scalp.

If you really are about covering up your greys, Colour WOW is the match for you. Easy to use at home, it's the quick hack to visible greys. Coming in a powder form, you simply press the brush down firmly into roots, starting from scalp and working out.

And if you want a permanent (or a few weeks at least) answer to grey hair, then Josh Wood's your guy. Using natural ingredients for a well-conditioned finish, this dye won't leave you looking like you've been covering up your greys.
