The Grey Up: How to Transition to Natural Grey Hair with Style

Ever heard the term Grey-up? … Yeah neither ;)

But there is no reason why you can’t fall in love with those silver streaks that seem to love to grow in the most haphazard fashion.

For many, the decision to stop colouring and start embracing grey can feel overwhelming. Whether you're dealing with root regrowth, colour build-up, or outdated tones, the process doesn't have to be a struggle. Here at Bellissima, we are fast getting a reputation for being grey blending specialists, and we are here to guide you through every step.

Why Choose Grey Hair Transitioning?

Grey isn’t just a colour—it’s a statement. And with the right support, the transition from high-maintenance colour to low-maintenance natural grey can be empowering, elegant, and easy to maintain.

At Bellissima, we use a mix of colour correction, advanced blonding techniques, and personalised consultation to create a plan that suits your hair type, lifestyle, and long-term goals. From full transformations to soft grow-outs, every approach is tailored to you.

What to Expect from Your Appointment

  1. Consultation – We start with an in-depth conversation about your colour history and desired outcome.

  2. Custom Plan – We design a step-by-step approach, which may include lightening, toning, or strategic foiling to blend your existing colour with your natural greys.

  3. Aftercare Advice – We’ll recommend sustainable products and toning strategies to keep your grey looking its best.
