Grey Blending vs Global Color: What Should Curly Clients Choose?

When you have curls, colouring isn’t just about covering greys — it’s about protecting your pattern, preserving moisture and choosing a technique that enhances your natural texture. Through my global training in colour for textured hair, I realised that most traditional colouring methods are designed for straight hair. That’s why at The Alchemic Beauty, we created our signature way of cutting, colouring and treating curly and wavy hair, built specifically for Indian curl textures, Indian weather and Indian lifestyles.

For curly clients exploring grey coverage, here are the two most popular choices:

1. Grey Blending — Soft, Natural & Curl-Friendly
Grey blending is perfect if you want a gentle, low-maintenance look. Instead of covering all greys, we soften them with highlights or strategically placed colour.
✔ Keeps curls healthy
✔ Adds dimension
✔ Grows out beautifully
✔ Ideal for people who don’t want frequent salon visits

2. Global Color — Full Coverage & Uniform Finish
Global colour gives a consistent shade from roots to ends. While it offers complete coverage, it requires more maintenance and careful formulation to ensure curl integrity.
✔ Best for clients wanting a single, solid colour
✔ Requires regular root touch-ups
✔ Needs curl-safe products and aftercare

At The Alchemic Beauty, our specialists across Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Delhi help you choose the method that suits your curl pattern, porosity, goals and lifestyle. And with our online booking system, scheduling your colour consultation is quick and convenient.

Grey blending or global? The right choice depends entirely on your curls — and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
