What is Grey Blending anyway?

I know right? It is my experience that grey blending has different meanings to different people.

My definition of grey blending is breaking or softening the line of demarcation that occurs by repetitive root touch ups used to cover grey hair.

If someone is ready to embrace their grey and break free of covering it up every 3-6 weeks, this service is it. This is not a “transformation” to grey by my definition. It is meant to be a gradual change and is used as a lower maintenance hair color outcome.
