Does Colouring Grey Hair Make Thinning Less Noticeable?

Quick answer: Colour contrast changes how full hair looks: dark hair over a light scalp shows gaps more, while lighter or grey hair may blend more; choosing a colour closer to your scalp tone can make thinning less obvious.
- Contrast: The key.
- Choices: Soft shades.
- More: Grey vs thin hair.
