Lockdown has taken its toll on everyone's hair. Whether you're a guy who has braved the shave to avoid getting a haircut for a few months, or if, like me, you've simply let your natural locks do their thing, chances are that your hair looks like it needs a little TLC. This is also the case if you tend to dye your hair. As anyone who has attempted it will surely attest, dying your hair at home is no mean feat, and because of lockdown, more and more women are embracing their natural gray hair. Watch this woman's amazing reaction to embracing her gray hair:  [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/YvG7OqwV-sKUnNGKf.mp4||YvG7OqwV]] And one man who is helping a lot of women make this a reality is stylist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jackmartincolorist/" rel="nofollow">Jack Martin</a>, who came up with an innovative solution for a woman who was sick of dying her gray roots with an at-home box dye every two to three weeks. He suggested that instead of waiting for her natural gray hair to grow out, she could dye her hair silver to create a more polished look that blends in with her natural color, and now it's been embraced by countless more women. As you can tell, the results themselves are gorgeous, and the smiles on these ladies' faces really do say it all!

"Some clients have salt and pepper mostly in the front and the back is darker, so I match that and add some darkness to it," Martin said.
