How Anshula Kapoor hid grey hair for her wedding: Not black hair dye but this hack that every bride should know

For her wedding, Anshula Kapoor chose a natural hair colour blend of brown and light brown to mask her greys. Stylist Akshata Honawar shares the process.

Like many brides, Arjun Kapoor's sister Anshula Kapoor also wanted to look her best on her wedding day. However, she had a few greying hairs that were starkly visible because of her curly hair texture. But instead of using a black hair dye to completely hide them, she and her hair expert used a hack to make her new hair colour more natural.

On July 7, Akshata Honawar, a creative hairstylist and colourist from Mumbai, shared a video in which she worked on Anshula Kapoor's greying hair. “Grey doesn’t have to disappear. It just has to blend beautifully. When Anshula told me she wanted her hair to look as natural as possible for her wedding, I knew grey blending was the perfect approach,” Akshata captioned the video, which she posted on Instagram.

What is grey blending?

According to Anshula's hairstylist, instead of chasing full coverage or traditional root touch-ups, she worked with Anshula's natural hair, creating soft dimension that would grow out seamlessly while keeping everything elegant, effortless, and wedding-ready. This involved every formula, every placement, and every section customised just for her.

But which colour did they use? In the video, Akshata revealed that, instead of going for an obvious colour, she and Anshula both wanted the hair to look more natural, so she chose two colours: brown and a lighter brown.

Explaining the process, she shared that white hair does not really catch the colour, which is why using brown makes the texture more translucent. She added that this process works better because, if you try to cover grey hair completely, it'll look like a band when it grows out.

This is why she did not pick each greying hair and darken it; instead, she used highlights and lowlights with two colours – brown and light brown. It blends the grey in because black and white are too stark, but browns make that less obvious, and the results speak for themselves.
