How often to you colour your hair?

[JennyW]

I'm have dark brown hair and of course the few grey hairs i have show up. I'm not keen on using permanent hair colours due to the ammonia but happy to use the semi-permanents but of course they don't last as long. How often can you keep using them? They certainly don't last the 28 shampoos they claim :confused:

Hi
I've got the grey ones too, and I find that coz they are are grey they take and hold colour very well. I have only ever used semi-permanent and only need to re-apply when the new hair grows through!

I re-do mine as soon as I start seeing re-growth. I never do the roots and then the ends separately as they suggest either - too much faffing. I just slap it on all over and leave it.

I like Boots Botanics and Shwarzkopf country colours and think they seem to "hold" on the the grey hairs a bit better than some of the others I have tried.

ha, ha. yes me too! Just put it on all over - much better colour coverage too otherwise your roots end up a different colour.

Well I use Casting (is it by Loreal)? which is very nice but just never seems to last as long as they say and I only wash my hair twice a week.

I usually colour my hair with a semi-permanent about every 6 to 8 weeks. It works out about a week before I get my hair trimmed.

I also use country colours as I find they take well even on grey hairs.
