Grey Hair Options

Matching grey hair requires special consideration. True Hair offers three types of grey hair, each with distinct properties to achieve the most natural result.

Grey Human Hair

Very rare and sourced at a higher price point. Provides the most authentic grey look with natural movement and feel.

Grey Synthetic Hair

The most common artificial hair option for grey shades. Extremely resistant to oxidation and colour change, making it the best choice for maintaining consistent grey tones. Note: synthetic fibres can be sensitive to friction.

Grey Yak Hair

Stronger and harder than human hair with a slightly shinier colour tone. A durable option for grey hair systems that balances cost and longevity.

Ethical Sourcing & Hygiene

All hair used in True Hair systems is sourced from ethical providers who follow fair and transparent collection practices. Every batch of hair undergoes regular sterilisation and disinfection to meet strict hygiene standards before it is used in production, ensuring a safe and clean product for every client.
