Every year we deal with inflation of some sort, but since the pandemic, nearly everything is in short supply and high demand. That demand drives prices up, resulting in all-time highs on the food we eat to the gas we use to drive to the jobs that enable us to pay our bills. We look for ways to cut back in an effort to save more money each month but often come up short. One way to add green to your bank account is by going gray.

Society has always accepted a woman’s choice to cover up her gray hair as a method to remain a youthful appearance, but more and more women are choosing to forego the expense, time, and energy it takes to cover up silver, white, and gray hair.

1 + 1 = A Lot!

Let’s do the math, shall we? Hair color services can cost between $80 and $250 (or more) per visit. That’s not including tip or the cost of a haircut, products purchased at retail, or expensive services such as balayage, ombre, and highlights. You likely visit the salon every 4-6 weeks for maintenance. If you stop? You save THOUSANDS of dollars annually.

Time is Money

Growing out your gray gives you hours upon hours of your life back. Think about how much time you spent at the salon. Likely, you were there 2.5-3 hours on average. Then factor in the time it took to drive to your appointment, the gas it cost to get you there, and all the other things you could have been doing instead of sitting under a heat lamp waiting for your hair color to process.

Let’s Review

Transitioning from the continual upkeep process of chemically dying your hair to embracing what lies beneath takes serious commitment. But going back to your roots is as empowering as it is liberating. It frees you from frequent trips to the salon anytime those stubborn gray hairs peek through. Hair becomes healthier when it isn’t subjected to the damage caused from bleach and chemical dyes. And don’t forget all the money you’ll save instead of spending it on highlights and balayage and base color.
