Advice needed on hair colouring (merged)

I have your exact problem and when i used to dye my hair the grey bits looked ginger, until i found the amazing daniel fields watercolours. This hair colour has changed my hair and the grey blends in great, its more natural than other brands and you can buy it online.

I'd be interesed in advice on this. I've never coloured it before, it is a really nice shade of brown with lots of natural highlights and low lights. I don't want to cover these up and make my hair look flat but I have started to get a few greys. Not many but I'm noticing them more and more.

Thanks

so it's safe to assume that greying starts from top to 'bottom' and not the other way around?!

I have the same problem, my hair is almost black, and have the odd grey/white hair coming through (so they're very noticeable). My hairdresser is v.good and didn't suggest dying it in the salon, she just advised me to use a semi-permanent. I do it every 6-8 weeks and it stays lovely. I tend to use Casting Creme Gloss.

i use nice n easy and it lasts me around 2 months and then i need to redo it cause it fades, i think it fades because i use a reddy brown colour. if i go to the hairdressers it lasts me around 4 months before i start noticing re growth and need it doing again so its easier at the moment doing it myself as my hairdresser is 4 hours away.

I've got rather a lot of grey coming in at the temples. My hair is naturally blonde and I've chosen a Recital shade very, very close to my natural colour but I'm afraid to use it as it contains a bleach and I don't want to ruin the condition of my hair as even though I'm in my mid-fifties I still wear it long. If I've chosen the wrong shade I'm also concerned that I'm going to get noticeable regrowth at the roots, so the hair colour is sitting in the bathroom cabinet until I pluck up the courage to use it. What to do?

The grey coming in in my eyebrows isn't filling me with joy either. Fortunately, no grey downstairs yet but I don't suppose anyone is ever going to see that except me any way

I can totally sympathise with all the above. I have very short light brown hair with quite a lot of grey. I home colour it, but haven't done for a while, because I wanted to see if I could live with the grey. As I've got older and more grey has come through, I seem to have to colour it more frequently, and was getting fed up. I haven't coloured it since begining of may, and I have more grey than other colour. I HATE IT!! I feel like a little old woman, ok, I am little and 50, but the grey makes me feel ancient. I have made an appt for a cut & colour in 2 weeks. Then I will try nice and easy, hoping it lasts a bit longer.

I have been colouring my hair for fun mostly for 25 years (Im 41)

I have over the last few (6) years noticed grey coming through. The most alarming ones are the ones I notice in the mirror - sticking STRAIGHT UP! When I pull em out they're 18 inches long with a sudden 1 inch of stiff silver (I'm lucky?) then the rest normal :rotfl:

Seems that these things do occur overnite - when you think you are safely sleeping.

I prefer to use semi permenant dyes, Movida by Garnier was my fave but I can hardly find that any more. I use ones mostly close to my natural colour as they don't give you a line when it needs doing again.

Except I see the grey. That's when I know it's time now If I can't be bothered I rip em out for a couple of weeks til I get round to it.

I am lucky that most of my greys are silver, I have been known to leave the ones at the front to see how they get on, not actually bad. The ones elsewhere on my head get removed.

As to bodily hair becoming grey - My pubes have been at least half grey since I was 28. Heyho! Glad they're there rather than on my head :rotfl:
