Salma Hayek sits down to a grooming session in her bathrobe, unveiling her go-to gray hair fix. The 57-year-old has impressed fans with her ageless appearance over the years, seamlessly maintaining her youthful glow and trim physique. Yet, even the best lifestyle routine can’t completely reverse the aging process, a fact Salma knows all too well and is comfortable with. She has openly discussed the appearance of gray strands of hair in her mostly dark brown locks, admitting she, like other women her age, also faced the dilemma of doing a quick fix.
Salma Hayek Gives Hair Tutorial in Her Bathrobe
In a new Instagram video, Salma Hayek revealed more pro tips for concealing her gray hair, plus an unconventional method that left fans in disbelief. The video captured in a makeover studio showed the Desperado star clad in a white bathrobe as two people worked to give her the perfect hair.
At the start of the clip, Salma Hayek in her bathrobe ran her fingers through her hair, calling attention to the gray strands. She then threw out the question, “How can you cover it sometimes without having to dye it?” In response, the star admitted that when doing her makeover on her own, she simply turns to her liquid mascara. She demonstrated the technique by taking out her mascara wand and making two swift motions as if running it through her hair.
As she covered the liquid makeup product, the actress explained that using mascara helps darken the hair, while forcing the stray strands to stay flat. The downside of the method is that one needs to reapply at every makeup session or after every wash. However, Salma Hayek has since discovered a more reliable and longer-lasting means of concealing her gray hair strands without dye.
How to Conceal Gray Hair Without Dye
One of the hair stylists walked fans through the process, using a masking spray. By spraying the content strategically on the visible gray strands of Salma Hayek’s hair, he successfully covered up those silver streaks. The star described the process as “makeup for the hair,” the difference being that the effect could last up to three weeks, even with constant washing. She included a reminder for fans to keep their eyes shut during spraying to avoid visual irritation.
This isn’t the first time Salma Hayek has been candid about the dilemma of fixing her gray hair. Last year, the star shared a helpful tip with fans on how to cover the gray hair without dying it. Alongside the priceless tutorial, she shared a snap of herself sporting streaks of gray hair, with her sunglasses holding her locks in place as she posed in her car.
She took off the glasses in the next photo, and her black locks dramatically concealed all the visible gray strands formerly exposed. As nice as it would have been to believe keeping the glasses of one’s hair” could magically fix every gray hair issue, Salma’s latest product surely does a better job by a landslide.
