Going Grey Gracefully: Embrace the Silver and Shine

Going grey doesn’t mean giving up—it means levelling up. Post-lockdown, we’ve seen a powerful shift in confidence, with more of our Arena guests choosing to embrace their natural grey and silver tones. It’s not just a colour choice—it’s a lifestyle one. If you're ready to own your grey, we're here to help you do it beautifully and confidently.

Whether you're fully grey, just starting to transition, or considering ditching the dye, here are our top professional tips to keep your grey hair looking fresh, stylish and full of life.

1. A Great Cut is Everything

Grey hair should never be boring. The secret to looking youthful and modern lies in a flattering, face-shape-appropriate haircut. At Arena, we create bespoke cuts tailored to enhance your features and hair texture—think chic bobs, textured pixies or soft, sweeping layers.

A regular, precision cut will:

  • Keep your hair in top shape

  • Add movement and body

  • Help you feel polished and put-together every day

2. Enhance Your Grey with Colour (Yes, Really!)

Contrary to what many think, embracing your grey doesn’t mean abandoning colour altogether. In fact, strategic colour can take your grey to the next level:

Ashy Lowlights: Add depth and contrast, especially if your grey is on the lighter side. These blend beautifully and give a multi-dimensional finish.

Creamy White Highlights: Perfect for summer, they brighten the face and soften harsh lines. When applied finely and carefully, the regrowth is barely noticeable.

Gloss Treatments: One of our favourites at Arena. Our Kevin Murphy gloss range comes in clear and tonal options designed to enhance your grey, add mirror-like shine and improve hair condition—leaving your hair 25% stronger and 37% thicker.

3. Cleansing Shampoos: A Grey-Hair Essential

Grey hair tends to be more porous, making it susceptible to dullness from product build-up, pollution and hard water minerals. A good cleansing shampoo, used every 5–6 washes, is key to:

  • Removing residue and discolouration

  • Creating a clean base for styling products

  • Boosting shine and bounce

We stock high-performance cleansing shampoos that deliver results without stripping your hair of essential moisture.

4. Use the Right Purple Shampoo & Conditioner

Not all purple shampoos are created equal.

Cheap, supermarket brands can leave your hair looking lavender and feeling brittle. The right purple shampoo should:

  • Neutralise brassy or yellow tones

  • Protect your hair’s moisture barrier

  • Keep your silver and white strands looking clean, cool, and fresh

At Arena, we only recommend salon-grade purple shampoos and conditioners that treat your hair while toning. Your grey deserves better than drugstore dye.

5. Deep Treatments for Soft, Manageable Hair

Grey and silver hair can feel wiry or dry, especially as the natural pigment fades. That’s where regular treatments come in.

  • In-salon rituals strengthen and hydrate from within

  • Weekly home treatments maintain softness, manageability, and shine

Ask your Arena stylist to recommend the best moisture or repair treatment for your hair type—we promise, the results are worth it.
