In the video, Salma Hayek explains how she hides her gray hair with mascara

Like Andy McDowell, Sharon Stone or Hilary Burton, Salma Hayek is one of those personalities who embraces their white hair. However, while she doesn’t hesitate to go natural with her silver locks on her social media, the actress also admits to resorting to certain concealment methods when her job calls for it.

Indeed, in the video published on her Instagram page on Tuesday, February 27, the heroine of the film Frida shared one of her techniques for temporarily concealing her gray roots between color jobs. “Look at all this white hair,” she first says to the camera, dressed in a white robe and decked out in glamorous make-up, showing off the dyed strands of brown hair. “So what’s the secret? How can I temporarily cover them without painting? When I do my own hair, I apply mascara. Are you spinning well? [la brosse], then you do it like this,” she explains, miming brushing her gray hair with Charlotte Tilbury Beauty’s Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes Mascara. “And all those little rebel strands don’t just turn black, they stay flat,” she assures.

Hair makeup

Francois-Henri Pinault’s wife didn’t really follow her own advice that day, as she was assisted by London hairstylist Miguel Martin Pérez, who himself took charge of coloring her roots using a different tool. As she shows in the pictures, the expert used L’Oréal Professionnel’s Hair Touch Up temporary touch-up spray, a temporary color that lasts until the next shampoo. “It’s like putting makeup on your hair,” Salma Hayek continues, extolling the virtues of this tip.

At the end of his video, the 57-year-old producer elaborates, however, that his white hair “doesn’t bother him” but that “sometimes you have to work with people who are bothered by it”…
