Peculiarities
Quite often, graphite color is confused with gray hair. This only happens when the work carried out by the master was not entirely of high quality and was not thought out in detail in advance. Graphite hair color is more reminiscent of the dark ash color of the lead from a regular pencil. Sometimes it can look like black with a silver or metallic tint, and sometimes it can take on shades of “wet asphalt” color.
As it becomes clear, the main color of “graphite” is cold gray or ashen in different shades. It can start both from the roots of the hair and from the middle of the length of the hair and even lightly touch only one of the ends of the hair.
Who does it suit?
Although it was said above that “graphite” is suitable for almost all women, it is important to understand that the color goes well only with healthy hair. It is noticed that “Graphite” suits light strands best. Most of all, stylists recommend this cold shade to representatives of the fair sex with a cold color type of appearance. Such hair can look especially bright on a girl with dark eyes and pale skin.
Unfortunately, this shade does not tolerate unhealthy skin and its imperfections. It emphasizes all the imperfections in the form of pimples, unevenness and “red mesh” even more and can rarely be combined, for example, with freckled skin.
In order not to get an unpleasant surprise after coloring yourself, it is better to go to a good specialist who will select the necessary shade in accordance with your type and facial geometry. Too much contrast between the graphite shade and the skin can significantly add age, not to mention the fact that it will look very vulgar.
Some professionals prepare a dye mixture in advance from several shades of the same color for different types of hair, depending on their pigment. The same dye can look gray, yellow, blue and even purple on different hair. That’s why you need to go to a good hairdresser, because he knows exactly how to properly “neutralize” your own hair color.
Professionals do not recommend dyeing your hair a graphite shade if it is naturally red. The reason for this, as a rule, is that all owners of such hair have a warm skin color type.
Otherwise, we can say that graphite color is worn by representatives of the fair sex of almost all skin types and colors - from fiery African-American women to pale representatives of Northern Europe.
Paint selection
For the color “graphite”, a number of manufacturers have entire lines, including several shades, which are most often called “marble”, “cool black”, “ash” and the like. Only those with cool-toned black hair can use such dyes on their own. However, they should not be painted previously. The presence of gray hairs can also negatively affect the final result after dyeing.
However, if you still decide to buy paint and paint yourself, then it would be best to buy semi-permanent paint. This dye will be washed off after about 30 shampoos. Below are brief characteristics of coloring compositions in the “graphite” shade of well-known brands that can be found on the domestic market.
- A fairly well-known manufacturer in our country - Syoss. He produces a series of cool chestnut flowers, one of them is Oleo Intense. The composition includes quite a lot of components that soften the effect of the dye, including healing oils for hair.
- Another manufacturer - "Estelle". He owns the Deluxe 0/G dye, which gives the hair an “ash” shade. The paint has a creamy structure.
- Quite a popular and well-known brand, distinguished by quality - L'Oreal. Among the colors of this shade you can include Preference 1.0. The composition has the advantage of covering gray hair well.
- Well-known foreign manufacturer – Schwartzkopf. The line of ashy shades is headed by Igora Royal. The paint has an unusually deep ash hue. Unfortunately, it has been noticed that it quickly washes off and turns beige pretty soon.
When purchasing paint, remember that “graphite” does not tolerate “arbitrariness” and can give each head of hair an individual shade.
Dyeing technology
Nowadays it is quite well known that after bleaching, which is essential when dyeing your hair graphite color, the strands acquire a yellow tint. It is different for different hairs - sometimes it is more noticeable, and sometimes less pronounced. However, modern bleaching compounds are very gentle on hair. The graphite color itself, applied to the hair afterwards, is easily washed off with specialized products, and sometimes even with regular shampoo.
Thanks to the last fact, you can make sure how the chemical composition affects you and whether the chosen shade suits you. It is the “washability” of the paint that will help you achieve the desired shade. It is worth noting that the “graphite” shade is capricious, and therefore it is best to choose the shade together with a specialist. The entire process of dyeing hair in a graphite shade can take several sessions. But in general, the process of acquiring this color can be divided into the following several stages.
- The first step is to diagnose the condition of the strands. If your hair is regularly taken care of, this stage will not become protracted. However, if there are signs of damage on the hair, then it is necessary to undergo a course of treatment. As a rule, it is recommended to carry out a course of restorative masks for hair that is too dry or damaged. Short hair in this case has an undoubted advantage - it is much less likely to be damaged.
- The next important stage is preparation for bleaching. Not only dark hair, but also colored hair needs this stage. Before the bleaching procedure, you must not wash your hair for 3-4 days, or preferably a week. In this way, natural protection for curls is created.
- The third stage is the clarification process itself. As already mentioned, light or undyed hair does not need it. Sometimes for hair dyed with some particularly durable dyes, it is necessary to use removers (special compositions). It is easiest for platinum blondes to get a graphite shade, however, this is very rare. The usual lightening procedure is as follows:
- to 30 grams of special powder, an oxidizing cream (9%) is added in a volume of about 50 grams;
- the mixture is evenly applied to the hair and left for about 15-20 minutes;
- later the composition is washed off with water;
- Apply balm to the strands and leave it in for about 5 minutes.
Graphite hair color is a fashionable, original hairdressing trend that has actively declared itself at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. The dark ash tone chosen by Hollywood stars allows you to completely change your usual look, giving your hair a bright, cool shade with metallic highlights that last for any photo shoot.

The color chosen by Hollywood stars has many names, among which the most popular are:
This color can most correctly be described as black with an ash and metallic coating, manifested by shiny tints. We love graphite color among young girls who follow fashion trends, since the stylish metallic shine can instantly transform any hairstyle, making its owner the owner of fashionable, sparkling curls.
Advantages and disadvantages
Graphite hair color is a bright modern fashion trend that has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Among the advantages of the “cold gray” shade are:
- the opportunity to get a bright, extravagant and very fashionable appearance;
- a beautiful metallic sheen, which looks especially advantageous on medium-length curls;
- the ability to easily hide emerging gray hair and visually rejuvenate a woman.
The disadvantages of the shade include:
- “capriciousness” of tone, which makes it unsuitable for all types of appearance;
- difficulty of creation, requiring at least 2 stages;
- the need for careful care;
- a red tint that appears on the hair after lightening, requiring the mandatory use of tinted shampoos with purple pigments;
- the danger of using it yourself, since it is very difficult to create such a color at home;
- undesirable use for various skin defects. A cool tone will immediately highlight all the imperfections of the face (acne, scars, pigmentation, wrinkles).
Who suits
Graphite hair color (photos of singer Rihanna clearly demonstrate the beauty of dark ash curls shimmering with silver) is a rather capricious tone that requires only healthy hair. On split ends, the metallic sheen will take on a dull, gray and unkempt appearance.
The most advantageous dark ash shade will emphasize the cold appearance of winter or spring types, distinguished by:
Graphite can beautifully transform the appearance of sultry brunettes, giving the hair an original, metallic shine. A dark ash shade of hair will create an extravagant and bold combination with dark skin, but in this case it is better not to experiment on your own, but to entrust the selection of a suitable shade to a colorist.
Stylists strongly recommend dyeing your hair with graphite only in the autumn-winter season, since it is at this time that the skin is the lightest and purest, and dark ash, like any cold shade, will instantly highlight any facial imperfections (pimples, red spots, rosacea).
The wet asphalt shade is contraindicated for aging skin, as it will visually deepen facial wrinkles.
Girls with the following characteristics should avoid dark ash shades:
- thick blush;
- peach or golden skin tone;
- green, brown eyes;
- red, brown, chocolate hair with a golden tint;
- freckles.
With this combination, graphite hair color will greatly age your appearance, giving your hair an unkempt, graying appearance.
Graphite color looks most advantageous on medium-length hairstyles for young girls. Older women should prefer a short haircut, decorated with a “cold gray” tint. This shade will reliably cover gray hair and visually rejuvenate your appearance.

Dyeing technology
Graphite hair color is considered very capricious, requiring a long (at least a month) dyeing process. The fastest way to reproduce a dark ash shade is on light hair. Brunettes may require a longer period.
It is best to go to a salon to create a new look, since transforming hair into “ash” requires preliminary lightening. The colorist will correctly carry out the procedure and eliminate the yellowness that appears after bleaching the strands. 
The process of creating graphite hair color:
| Bleaching | Diagnosis of hair condition. | A specialist's assessment of hair structure and color. In case of damage, before dyeing, it is necessary to undergo a capus restoration course, consisting of nourishing masks based on plant components and keratin. Traces of previous staining are removed by washing. |
| Preparing for lightening. | It consists of 3-4 (preferably 7 days) refusal to wash your hair. Thus, a protective film appears that protects the strands during lightening. | |
| Lightening | 1. Preparation of a solution consisting of 30 g. special powder and 50 gr. 9% oxidizing agent. 2. Applying the composition to the hair, followed by leaving it for 15-20 minutes. 3. Removing the bleaching mixture with warm running water. 4. Applying a nourishing balm (hold for 5 minutes). |
|
| Toning | Selection of dye | The specialist selects a composition that can color the hair well and neutralize yellowness. When dyeing yourself, ready-made cosmetics are used. |
| Hair coloring | 1. Applying dye to the entire length of hair, followed by letting it sit for 30 minutes 2. Thoroughly cleanse strands of cosmetics under running water. 3. Apply conditioner-developer (for 2-3 minutes). |
Blondes and light brown girls can skip the lightening process by going straight to the second stage and using ready-made paint that allows you to create a graphite shade. To avoid dissatisfaction with capricious color, you can resort to tinting shampoos or crayons that remain on the hair for up to 8 shampooing procedures.
Proper care
The graphite shade of hair is very capricious, requiring increased care and frequent renewal, since in the absence of care, the beautiful metallic tint will quickly disappear, turning into unpleasant gray stripes (which will be especially noticeable in high-frequency photographs).
Rules of care:
- Cleanse strands only with products designed for colored hair. Such cosmetics seal the scales, preventing the washing out of color pigments.
- To eliminate the yellowish tint, use special tinting agents that include purple pigments that preserve the beauty of cool shades. It is recommended to start using 2 weeks after coloring.
- Thorough protection against negative UV exposure, preventing rapid color fading. Fashionable wide-brimmed hats, scarves or caps will do the job well.
In addition, you should minimize the negative thermal effects of styling devices (hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron) and rinse your hair at least 1-2 times a week with herbal infusions (yarrow, nettle) or lemon water (1 teaspoon of citric acid per 1 l water).
After 2-3 weeks, you can begin a course of restorative masks using store-bought preparations or natural oils (burdock, nettle, flax). This treatment will help prepare your hair for subsequent coloring.
To preserve the popular shade, you should choose a colorist and update your hairstyle every 4-5 weeks, since growing ends and a fading metallic tint will give the hairstyle an untidy look.
Graphite hair color is a popular fashion trend chosen by top models and Hollywood stars. The dark ash shade, which looks spectacular in any hairstyle, instantly makes its owner stand out, striking with an extravagant metallic tint that persists even during photography.

Who suits graphite hair color?

Perhaps your strands are too dark, they will have to be lightened, and during this procedure a slight yellowness will appear - which means a slightly different shade of paint will suit you.
After dyeing, don’t relax either. Graphite color requires care, so make masks for colored hair, and only in this case it will not fade.

@refectocil_international Since the palette of shades is significant, graphite is considered universal. The shade is selected depending on the tone of the hair and the density of its lines. Gray tones are used for cool tones in appearance. The saturation of the pigment depends on how long the dye will stay on the hair. For blondes, the dye aging time is minimal.
Before using the paint, an allergy test is done at home. Before staining, the shape is adjusted in advance. Graphite is popular for blondes; the gray tone visually increases the density of the lines.
There are some differences from the black tone. Black pigment includes shades of the same range, resulting in a uniform black color that does not change with the direction of light. Graphite dyes include several tones - grayish, blue, black. Saturation may vary.

If the shade is cold, a cold tone is chosen - grayish. If you have light hair, you should not do dark eyebrows, it looks unnatural. Eyebrow dye should be no more than 1-2 shades different from hair.
The grayish color is suitable for light brown hair with a cool tone.
@refectocil_international Graphite pigment is not suitable for red hair, as well as brown-haired people. For brunettes, black or graphite or brownish tones are most popular.
Graphite tone is considered almost universal and suits different types of appearance. It makes the eyes more expressive and visually increases density. Painting can be done for a long time with professional dyes, or you can use cosmetic pencil, eye shadow, and mascara.
Making graphite eyebrows (dye, tattoo)
@refectocil_international You need to choose the option of coloring in a graphite tone, taking into account the characteristics of the body. Adding color with paint involves coloring only the hair; the pigment is washed off quickly from the skin. If there are bald spots and gaps, you can get a tattoo.
When to apply coloring:
- Eyebrows are invisible.
- The lines fade quickly.
- The eyebrows are thick, but the shade does not match the hair.
There are some contraindications for implementation. The main ones are allergies to paint, as well as irritation and damage to the skin, some eye diseases. The advantage is that there are few restrictions after the action, the result lasts for about a month. The downside is that you need to perform a new procedure periodically.
Tattooing involves injecting paint under the skin. Due to this, visually the lines look more voluminous and the shade changes. There are techniques involving drawing hairs and shading.
@nanobrovi The advantage of doing this is that you don’t need to apply makeup to your eyebrows in the future. The tattoo does not wear off or wash off with water and lasts up to 3 years.
The disadvantage of performing it is that there are many contraindications, and healing after execution is long. If you want to get rid of the pigment, it can only be removed with a remover or laser.
