Advice needed on hair colouring (merged)

I heard anti-dandruff shampoo's work a treat in stripping, toning down colour!, for one who has been in this same situation i would agree with billy858 to go for a semi perm after a few days, worked a treat for me!

Anyone experience of bleaching or highlighting hair which has previously been dyed red using a permanent color?

I think it depends how long ago it was dyed, I did the same to mine and it worked out ok but I did go to the college to get sorted, very profesional and cheap
Back to the op, I'd 2nd the poly colour tints, great product and as i need 2 boxes a go now they are the cheapest too, :beer:
Other than that, Live colour by the same people (schwarzkoft ?) is highly reccomended too.:T

Maybe 3 weeks ago at most. Would consider the local college, but I think they will have broken up for the summer.

I'm only 27 but I have had grey hairs coming through for years. I have very dark brown hair, cut in a short-ish layered bob.

I dyed my hair using a permanent auburn brown hair dye 10 days ago, and already the b*stard grey hairs are coming through :mad: it's really getting me down as they are so noticible against my dark hair.

Can anyone recommend a hair dye to use that will last longer than 10days?!

I tend to buy whatever is on offer. I've tried using henna too but that was about the same as dye.

TIA

I know exactly how you feel, although I'm quite a bit older than you I was really mad when I realised I had grey eyebrows (just a bit not a lot), honey, it gets worse, everywhere;)goes grey eventually, sorry, but here are my tried and tested things that work,

Nice n Easy is second to none for grey coverage I do mine roughly every 5 weeks and nothing shows through, I have similar colour hair to yours and use Natural light ash brown cos it comes out darker than on the pack and I don't like red tones.

Eyelash tint in Dark brown is also suitable for eyebrows, from Boots etc costs around £7 and lasts ages, I leave the product on for at least twice as long as they say and I wouldn't be without it every 5 weeks same night as I dye my hair.

Removal is my best tip for elsewhere. hth:)

I'm kinda in the same boat. Dyes last no longer than a couple of weeks, before they fade & I need to apply another dye. I tend to be happier with semi-permanent than permanent. I feel they last longer and without seeing root growth.

I think the quality of regular shop dyes has gone down hill, and if it wasn't for my grey hairs & the fact I have dyed it for years, I wouldn't color my hair at all.

Thanks both!

Luckily i haven't had any grey hairs anywear else yet! Eek!

I'll try Nice n Easy then.

I think it annoys me most cos I don't dress very feminine for work as I'm out doing outdoor pursuits etc, but I like my hair to look nice and girly! lol. vain maybe, but I hae nice hair [EMAIL="d@mn"]d@mn[/EMAIL] it! lol

Do you mean the colour is fading or you can see the dreaded glint of grey at the roots??
