A warm cinnamon roll, a light creamy coffee, and a little time to slow down sound like a perfect Sunday reset to me.

🍬 **Happy National Smarties Day!**

October 2 is a fun excuse for a little candy nostalgia. Behind the chair, I’d say the *smartest* style is one that fits your hair, your routine, and how you want to feel. ✂️✨

Now for the important question: **What was your favorite childhood candy?** Mine is the Hershey Cookies & Cream bar! 👇

✨ **Grey blending vs. full coverage—what’s the difference?**

🤍 **Grey blending** softens the contrast between silver strands and your other color. Highlights, lowlights, or sheer color can create dimension while leaving some grey visible. Regrowth may look softer, but maintenance is still needed.

🤎 **Full coverage** aims to cover the grey completely. You can still have highlights and dimension, though silver roots may become more noticeable as your hair grows.

Your choice depends on how much grey you want to see, your desired color, and your maintenance routine.

(Knowing my mom, she'll stay full coverage until she feels ready for her grey hairs. Me, I'll be leaning more towards the grey blending when I get more grey hairs)

**Would you blend your silver or cover it?** 👇
