Those with grey hair...

[mruffruff]

For a while I used Loving Care in my natural brown shade. The I wanted to let it wash out and go natural.

My granddaughter kept asking me why I had pink hair!!!

It seems that my hair kept all of the red tones even through 3 months of washings. I finally got the red parts cut off. Now I'm silver on top, gray/brown/silver on the sides and brown/gray in back.

I earned every gray hair so I'm going to flaunt it

I gave up trying to cover the grey/silver in mine, nothing ever did anyway.

Me too Laura!!! I started getting grey when I was 18. I just couldn't keep up with it!!!

I may be the odd one here, as I dye my mousiebrowngoshawfulugly hair blonde. But, I DO have lots of gray, also at the temples. I have used L'Oreal creme color every month for the past 4 years! I still have all of my hair, and there are natural highlights. (I use one shade one month and another either lighter or darker shade the next to create my own highlights!)Since it is a creme, it doesn't run and get on my face. I will never use anything else.

Good luck! I am sure you will find something that will work. Look at the box for the "gray coverage percentage" and that will help you with your decision.

I can never understand why women want to colour their hair. Be natural.....you're beautiful the way you are.

I use Wella bleach and I get it at the local beauty supply. I buy my own peroxide and mix it at home. The whole thing costs me about $3.50 (you can't beat the price) and I do it once a month. Actually my beautician (who is also my neighbor) told me about this. She said why come into the shop and pay top dollar? They use Wella at her shop. It covers my gray but I don't have any solid gray areas. I have threads of gray on top and on the sides. The back is still *me* at least for now.

Edit: Kim you could do a "home frosting" on yourself. I believe it is Clairol who makes a product called "La Petit Frost." It is for highlighting small areas. My daughter has used it very successfully.

I have never used any hair color product. I didn't get any gray hair
till my mid forties, so it's been a slow gradual thing. I am interested to see
what others have used, but I probably just keep the gray. I do keep it
fairly short so it's easy to keep up.

Why, Thank you!!!

Before I developed a severe allergy to any kind of hair dye, I used Nice and Easy (and you've seen me, I had lots of grey). Sometimes I treated myself to the hair salon for professional job.

I do the exact same thing that Pam does, the only bad thing is the grey's have a different texture, they are thicker and unruly.
