Your Grey Hair Reset for the New Year
Embrace the Routine: Cleanse, Hydrate, Protect
Grey and textured hair is beautifully unique—but it also craves special care. At Manhattan Grey, we understand the dryness, coarse texture, and delicate balance that comes with silver strands and curls.
That’s why we created a simple, effective 3-step routine using our core products—Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, Hydration Oil, and Moisture Pomade—designed to bring softness, shine, and moisture back into your daily ritual.
Step-by-Step Routine for Radiant Grey Hair
Nourishing grey hair doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow this easy regimen to transform your wash day—and feel confident every step of the way.
Step 1: Moisture-Preserving Cleanse
Hydration-First Cleanse
Begin with our Hydrating Shampoo and Deep Repair Conditioner, designed specifically for the needs of grey and textured hair. Grey strands naturally hold less moisture and can become dry or wiry if washed too aggressively, so how you cleanse matters just as much as what you use.
When shampooing, focus on the scalp—not the ends. Massage gently using your fingertips to lift buildup and soothe dryness without roughing up fragile grey strands. Let the lather rinse through the lengths naturally rather than scrubbing, which can lead to frizz and breakage.
Follow with the Deep Repair Conditioner, concentrating on mid-lengths to ends where grey hair needs the most support. Use this time to detangle gently with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, allowing the conditioner to soften and strengthen as it works.
Rinse with lukewarm water to help maintain moisture balance and scalp comfort. After cleansing, your hair should feel clean but not stripped—soft, manageable, and ready to absorb lasting hydration.
Step 2: Deep Hydration & Nourish
Hydration That Restores Softness
After cleansing, grey hair needs intentional moisture to replace what pigment loss naturally takes away. This is the step where hydration moves beyond the surface and into the strand, helping restore softness, flexibility, and shine.
Apply your leave-in or hydration product to damp hair, working in sections to ensure even distribution. Grey and textured hair absorb moisture best when water is present, so avoid applying to fully dry strands. Use your hands to smooth the product through, gently encouraging curl definition without pulling or stretching.
Focus on areas that tend to dry out fastest—the ends, temples, and crown—and allow the product to settle before styling. Proper hydration at this stage helps reduce frizz, improves manageability, and creates a strong foundation for long-lasting moisture throughout the day.
Your hair should feel supple, nourished, and responsive, not heavy or coated.
Step 3: Seal, Protect & Define
Lock In Moisture & Shield Your Grey
Once hydrated, grey hair benefits from a protective layer that helps seal moisture in and guard against daily stressors like dry air, friction, and environmental exposure.
Warm a small amount of oil or pomade between your palms and apply lightly, focusing on the ends and outer layers of the hair. This step is about sealing—not saturating. A little goes a long way, especially with grey strands that can feel weighed down if over-applied.
Use this step to smooth flyaways, enhance definition, and protect your hair’s natural texture. For curls and coils, gently scrunch to encourage shape. For looser textures, smooth downward to enhance shine and reduce frizz.
The goal is hair that feels protected, polished, and comfortable, with moisture that lasts—so your grey looks healthy, intentional, and confidently cared for.
