I just spent well over two years growing out my gray. Here's my advice as I did this...I started with jet black hair. I got tired of the upkeep. I threw bleach in my hair not to go blonde, but to lift the black. I then used level 2 to add color back in the hair, to a dark blondish. And then I used purple shampoo to keep it ashy and ward off the blorange hair. Sometimes I'd use Overtone or arctic fox in the purple or even periwinkle shades to enhance my silvers, and my remaining old dyed hair would take on a really cool steel color, especially if I used overtone in the pastel silver. Plus, deep conditioning. I'm not a fan of short hair so I just stuck it out. I started this well before the pandemic. And I just owned it. I didn't care what anyone thought of my hair. At all. And my confidence must have showed because women AND men were telling me how great my hair color was. All the time. I've never had compliments on my color in 40 years of dying it and I've been every color possible. I just cut my hair from nearly waist length to a just touching my shoulders bob. It's now all my own mostly silver and some pepper hair. I don't miss spending all that money and time on my color. I don't miss the damage and crispy ends. Nature gives the color we should have and it's actually made me look younger and authentic and not washed out and insecure. Yes it is a challenge with dryness and other things but it's easier to manage than hours of my Saturday spent at the salon. If you're ready to embrace the gray just do it and own it. You won't regret it.
Thank you for including those of us who are just starting to get grays. I don't have many, but they're right up front and they're wirey. They stick out and look weird. The highlight idea is doable.
Very true indeed. I started getting gray hair when I was around 37 years old. It sucks!! I hate it!! Lol. Now, I'm 67 years old. I still have gray hair, but, it's white hair, instead of gray hair. Lol. I'm still coloring my hair. I probably will, until I get really old, like 80 years, or until the day I die. I hate having gray hair or white hair because it makes me look old. If I look old, then, I will feel old. That's the last thing I want. I want to feel young, not old. Just my opinion. 😊
My hair is completely white and gray now and I get so many compliments. Since the scamdemic I stopped going to salons, and because I am a former hair stylist I have knowledge of how to cut hair so I just started cutting my own hair. My hair is the most beautiful now than it’s ever been. I let my hair grow out, it’s past my bra line, and I’m 64, and I’m ok with it. What I’ve found is tinting your hair to cover up gray is a waste of time and money, as It’ll look good for a week or two then it goes drab until you do it again. One vicious cycle after the other. Coloring hair is addictive, always after that youthful beautiful rich color coming out of the salon, but like any addiction you always want that same feeling over and over of feeling beautiful or high. Now I’m free, and love it. I think with age you start not to care what others think of how you look, although you should care about what you think, and I care that I look as nice as I can look. Younger people have fun with your highlights and all the other neat technology they have out there, as for me, Im grateful for my free beautiful highlights and longer hair.
I embraced the gray. Was brunette. Transition 1. Only colored crown 2. Later got highlights 3. Even later got low lights. With my wavy hair it blended nicely.
This is all fantastic information, thank you. I read an article this week that they seem to have discovered what causes gray hair. You actually have stem cells that circulate in your hairs; as you age the stem cells get ‘stuck’ in your hair and no longer circulate to transport the pigment, the hair subsequently goes gray. According to the article this discovery will pave the way to developing treatments to stop and reverse gray hair, in a few years. Until then I’ll keep coloring 😅
🥰💙🥰💙 Dear Sylvia, Could you do more Grey-Hair video with some semi-hair color , maybe even those -box color, and that they are aswell here in Europe available. I'm more than 35% grey, special my upper midshift hair. I do have highlights and babyhaighlights around level 9, my natural level is probably 5. Everything was done in salon. But now with Corona is not easy so I thought to try DIY with your great advices. Unfortunately those midshift Grey's are coming through the highlights more and more. I'm in the menopause (51) and my hair is starting be thinner and thinner and less than 5 od 10 years ago . It's more dry even if I use different hair oils or hydrating and nourishing shampoos, conditioners and mask. Thank you 🥰💙🥰💙
Thank you for these tips. So many of us let our grey grow (or had no other option) during lockdown. Glad to see you cater to all hair colors. Appreciate you!
Great video! I am blonde and I started to dye my grey roots with a 7, which blends perfectly into the rest of my hair! You are right, anything lighter will not color your greys at all! Please make a video about how to keep the colored hair nourished and healthy as dying every 4 - 5 weeks damages them a lot.... Thank you!! xx
Thank you for this video Silvia! I just turned 45 and have always been blond. Embracing the journey of growing out my natural hair. Doing baby lights to ease the transition!!!
Been getting my long, dark hair coloured (professionally) since the beginning of time and now the greys are starting to sprout through with increasing enthusiasm. Gradually going to go lighter so by the time we’re at 25%+ they’ll be blended a bit better… well that’s the plan anyway 😎
What a great tip - purple shampoo! It’s been sitting in my shower since I gave up on blonde and decided to go grey! I’ll definitely be using it again! Love your videos!
I’m mid 40s…the things they don’t tell natural redheads! I grew mine out without coloring it just to see. The more white I got the more it turned this wild brassy green. Yes, green. It was getting more blonde while iI was naturally losing my red. I used toner shampoos (sometimes pink, sometimes purple) but I decided to go with henna. I’m happy with it now.
I actually just continued to use the same regime that I did, when I coloured my hair: Going for Olaplex treatments at the salon, Olaplex 3 at home, Olaplex 4, purple shampoo, hair mask with moisture in it, Olaplex 5, and then Olpaplex 6 and 7 en combination and letting it air dry. I cut my long hair into a lob, which made a huge difference in the appearance… Initially I wanted to let it grow, and have long hair again with time, but I am loving this length! So much easier to maintain, and I use a lot less product!😊
Thank you for the great advice! Just wanted to add that in this video, your own hair, booth the style & colour is the best I have ever seen it look in any video. Yours is the style I want to wear as soon as my hair is long enough (by next summer). Please make a tutorial on how you achieved your stunning look!
Thanks I’m 33 and started seeing more gray lately and was very puzzled as to what to do having never colored my hair before (brunette) and didnt really want to color dark permanent as it makes me look tired and older
Hey Noami! I’m 28 and also have to dye frequently. I’ve been using henna or color depositing conditioner in between dyes to stretch it so I’m not putting harsh chemicals in my hair so often. If you try this, make sure you are using NATURAL henna as it can react negatively with permanent dye. **im not a professional! Just sharing what I do at home**
I know this is an older comment but it’s best to color 4-6 weeks to give hair a break and avoid damage. Get a root cover powder or spray, even dry shampoo comes in colors that hide grey or like others suggest use color depositing conditioner or hair mask. I know L’Oréal colorista hides greys. You can also use semi permanent or Demi permanent colors that are way less damaging since you are coloring so often.
I know you're busy but THANKS a ton for this video. Have you heard of anybody at the less than 25% gray, go for the complete silver look that's so popular with the kids right now? How does that look growing out? Does anybody know? Not asking for a friend this time, LoL!
So glad you made this video. I have about 3 inches of bright silver roots, but dark brown dye on my ends, and I'm so tired of coloring my hair and wanted some highlights, but was worried they wouldn't match the silver I already have at my roots since they are so contrasting to my dark hair. Looks like I need to grow my hair out before getting highlights 😭
Try short haircut, find one that suites your face shape and voila no more suffering but sharp updated look. Just think about it and research some examples
You're NOT alone. My children are BOTH streaked with silver. It just runs in some families. I'm starting to go gray naturally, have you thought about bleaching out & dying your hair all silver? You know as in that trend going around? I'm on the fence about it. I'm looking to have a brief chat with somebody about it though, if you're interested I'm looking for random opinions, plus pros & cons.? Have a great day Lisa.
Thank you for sharing some options. The challenge I’m having is I have two spots (where are my horns would be😂) that are very solid gray and so I’ve just been dying those but I just realize that they always say short in baby hairs. I don’t know if it’s because I color it or just because of the other changes in the hair, but it won’t get any longer than 6 inches when you get the rest of my hair is very long down to my butt. Is it possible that I’m damaging my hair with the coloring and I should use something else? Or is this just the way it is with grays?
I really appreciate these types of videos. Is it normal for you hair with pigment to be relatively straight while your gray hairs are curly? I'm frustrated with what seems like frizziness because of the total difference in texture.
The texture of grey hair is different. This is why you need a good hydrating/moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or deep conditioner and argon oil. Keep it hydrated and they should appear less frizzy.
What should I do for my hair? It’s naturally black (technically very dark dark brown but appears black) and I have random long strands of grey/white hair everywhere! Not just my roots, just sporadic full strands and too many to easily pick them all out anymore...but because I have a lot of thick hair I don’t want to dye my whole head just because of random thin strands but they’re adding up to an insane amount fast lol
Omg I wish I heard this before. I wanted to embrace my grays but my hair is so dark because of dying it black for years. My hairdresser bleached it and it damaged my hair so much it broke it. Now I have to wait until it out grows the color and will have uneven hair. It's so annoying.
Suggestions how to get rid of red brassy tones when coloring greys at root . Looking for that soft med brown color hair at salon every 3 weeks with new job I've been able to get to hair dresser .
Great video!! Do you have any suggestions within the realms of DIY for people with 25% grey hair? Would doing supermarket root-touch up wands work just to make them less obvious at the roots? Or something like that?
I’m seeing more and more grays popping up 😫 I’m only 35 so I’m not happy about it. I love my natural color so I don’t want to color it so I’m hoping this video will help me out
I’ve recently found your channel and love your advice and results of different hair coloring. I need your advice please. My hair (medium brown with old highlights and silver with gray) grew out for one year. I had a stroke and doing my hair was not a priority. Two weeks ago, I went to my hair stylist and told her I would like some silver highlights to blend with my gray. I showed her two pictures I had found. Not a good situation…I know have chunky blonde highlights in the front, and she put some dark brown on some strands which I didn’t even know about until I saw the finished hair. The highlights were light blonde with some yellow, brassyness. She bleached it again and put a different toner on it. I’ve washed it about 4 times, and I hate it!! The toner is pretty much gone, and I do use purple shampoo every other time. I have a consultation at a different salon to see if something can be done to get the yellow out. Where I had a lot of very light silver, it’s white but elsewhere it’s blonde. Do you thing it can be fixed so I have the gray back and the highlights not yellow. It makes me sad that it had grown out for a year, and I liked the look and only wanted to brighten it while blending it so it would continue to grow without color. Please give me your advice…I’d really appreciate it. Oh, my natural color hair is medium brown. The way she placed these blonde highlights and added dark brown strands, I look like a skunk😢
I refuse to dye my Grey's because 1) I like the look. 2) It's gonna cost way too much and 3) It looks stupid when you grow it out. Imma just play with semi permanent colors now that I have lighter hairs. It may not last forever but it actually shows up now
Thank you so much for the great video im 37 and my problem is i have only one portion of the front of my hair turned completely white unlike the women who have salt and pepper its really hard to cover it
The semipermanent color stays 2-3 month on my brown hair, but just a week or two on my greys.🤨 So bc I have just a little grey hairs, I decided not to color them. But... although I have little greys, my brown color changed from warm to neutral. So I'd like to add some warmth back. I tried henna, but it relaxes my waves. Permanent color damaaged my thin hair. What is the best solution? Recommendations for any other natural color? Or?
I have one stubborn white patch on my temple. A Cruella De-Ville streak if I let it grow! Any hair dye just seems to wash away from it in about a week. Even being done in the salon! I’m only 30 and am a natural brunette so it’s so noticeable. Help!
Same !!! I have a white patch on my left side near my “sideburns” and I’ll dye it (professional or box dye) and by the next week it’s washed out. Since I have dark hair it’ll fade to orange and then white again 🤨 I’ve decided to just let it grow out Lol
What if you have whiter roots and browner ends because of the natural greying process. There is still awkwardness even when embracing complete natural hair. I've not dyed my hair in almost 10 years and my ends are significantly browner simply because in the last year the greying has sped up. So my roots are different. I am constantly fighting myself not to bleach it, but if I did bleach it, it would still be virgin hair :D
I don't have any advice for you, but I just wanted to say that I think your hair looks really cool! If it were me, I wouldn't do anything to change it.
I have a very specific case, my hair is this dark brown to light blonde ombre, but I do have those 25% grey hair so instead of just lifting up my ombre once or twice a year I have to color my roots brow to hide the grey hairs, but when it comes to lifting my ombre up I have to light my brown colored hair and it gets hard and damaging. What would you suggest in that case? Thanks
Hi Sylvia Do I need to use the grey coverage specific colour for the level or can I just use say an ash brown in the level with a 20 vol developer ? I am an all over level 6 and find that the grey coverage level 6 throws warmth which i hate. Xxx
I use perminent boxed hairdye and it comes back every 2 weeks. L'Oréal casting is the best for my hair but I don't know hat else to use or do. My hair is dyed dark.
Hi you look beautiful, more than I bleach my hair and use so many different things to my hair is silver and white ,what you recommend to keep it, tone and shine and what shampoo,and is falling too,thank you,I love your videos,God Bless you 💖

I have let my grey grow out to a bob length. I have about 50 % grey and I would like some more exentuated silver parts in the front mimicking the stripes that my grey makes. I am naturally about a level 4-5 I guess. I have watched your video with the home box dyes and I have bought the “colorista effects bleach”. Will this give me a good result or should I not do this on my own? I just dont have any good experiences with the hairdressers in my area 😬 They do a slobby patchy work. And I cant go to saloons due to covid anyway. If I have a chance of a good outcome I can order a consultation with you to get some guidances and learn how to touch up the roots. 😊🙏🏻
So I am curious about semi permanent dye. You said it won't really do the job, but then you talked about using it to grow out dyed ends. I have lots of grey that came in mainly in the front. I dont mind that it wont work for long, but does that semi permanent dye really wash out completely? Could be a temporary bit of fun and experimentation.
Hey I have grays more than 25% or just that they are only on the top of my head. But I'm a light readhead. As u can see in my pick. Can u recomend things in general for readhead ? It's so difficult to find something. It's like no one wants to deal with readheads. Also , my mom used to said and I agree, when u get old you can't use darker colors ( she was a brunet ) because it make your face looks more sharp, like less soft ) and I've noticed Nicole Kidman who has my same hair color is going from blonde to light readhead again and again ( just like me ) it's like she can't find a good way to covered her gray hair neither. Me I use to be a 7 now I'm using 9. That I did the last time. I just only dive my grays. But it's far too complicate to do it myself and seems no hairdresser want to do this job neither. That would be so easy for them . I used the same technique that u have to use when u do highlights with aluminum foil. I just picked up only my grays ! And it worked lovely 💓. But I can't reach the back of my hair. And later I have to use a toner to tone everything the same color. ( Maybe because I used blond instead of 9.3 ) any advise ?
I love your videos, I have a question I am about 95 or percent grey but been coloring since teenager but a couple years now doesn’t cover at all. However my hear is blood and I am trying to make it platinum blonde in order to blend gray highlights. What do you suggest I do?
Hi!! Can you give me some recommendation for a good Argan oil? I have 75% of grey it is very dry. I want to blend highlights, lowlights to cover the grays. But I need moist first. Thank you. I
I have a random question I need help on. By mistake I received a L'Oreal Power Toner. Little did I know that my hair would turn copper after dying it ash blonde. Should I use this toner?
I am 24 and I am starting to have some gray hairs, because of vitiligo (my father has vitiligo, so I probably have it too). I am natural blonde, so it's not so visible. my mother has natural light blonde hair and some of her hairs are gray, but they blend in together. they look like platinum blonde to me
I have 50% or more i do have natural black hair and i color with permanent color and 20 vol developer and it still pops out in a couple weeks and i only wash my hair every 5 days 😩
Hi great video I have thick curly brunette hair I have had my hair Japanese straighted ( yearly ) Sept 2020 I had a few highlights ( just bleach ) they are peek a-boo a partial of a partial A have very little grey ( less then 50) I just pull them Is that ok ? I am 44
I got babylighst to disguise my 3% GREY HAIR but found the blonde washed me out. I want to stay brunette. How can I just dye the 20 or so grey hair strands I HAVE without getting highlights
over a year ago, I switched to semi-permanent colour. Now I've stopped dying, and it's starting to wash off, but is quite brassy at the moment. I'm considering a deposit-only mask to grey-ify the hair that's been semi-permanently dyed. Do you have one you'd recommend?
You are beautiful but it looks to me like you are using too much Botox or fillers, especially around your lips. Please do not overdo it. Try to embrace your aging face without trauma. You do not need to follow these crazy trends that make the face look frozen and, I am sure you will look less plastic and artificial.
in the pic of the women growing out her grey... what colour would be match to the colour she's growing out? I love that colour. Not the grey but the brown.

I'm 24 and my hair is starting to turn into White/ Grey since I'm 22... I'll hope I won't suffer like you :/

I don’t know if it’s because I color it or just because of the other changes in the hair, but it won’t get any longer than 6 inches when you get the rest of my hair is very long down to my butt. Is it possible that I’m damaging my hair with the coloring and I should use something else? Or is this just the way it is with grays?
I found my first gray at 7. I personally don't care but so many do.
What about those of us with grey growing in and we don’t currently color our hair but want more grey...
Raises hand up 😄 I'm trying to be patient
I really appreciate these types of videos. Is it normal for you hair with pigment to be relatively straight while your gray hairs are curly? I'm frustrated with what seems like frizziness because of the total difference in texture.
nrdy grl You're not alone! I have the exact same problem!
The texture of grey hair is different. This is why you need a good hydrating/moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or deep conditioner and argon oil. Keep it hydrated and they should appear less frizzy.
On the upside... at least I'm getting some volume now! 😄
What should I do for my hair? It’s naturally black (technically very dark dark brown but appears black) and I have random long strands of grey/white hair everywhere! Not just my roots, just sporadic full strands and too many to easily pick them all out anymore...but because I have a lot of thick hair I don’t want to dye my whole head just because of random thin strands but they’re adding up to an insane amount fast lol
Use semi permanent or demi permanent the same color as your natural hair, it will blend the gray with minimal damage.
Yay. So happy for this video thanks
Great video I love all the tips for how to transition to gray hair!! 😊🙂👍🏾🤜🏽💗❤💜
Omg I wish I heard this before. I wanted to embrace my grays but my hair is so dark because of dying it black for years. My hairdresser bleached it and it damaged my hair so much it broke it. Now I have to wait until it out grows the color and will have uneven hair. It's so annoying.
Can you recommend a good semi permanent color brand?
She is so beautiful ❤
Suggestions how to get rid of red brassy tones when coloring greys at root . Looking for that soft med brown color hair at salon every 3 weeks with new job I've been able to get to hair dresser .
Thank you for making this video!!! My hair appointment is Saturday and I have these issues LOL
Yes, thank you. More, 25% to 75% grey!!!
Hello nice video, can you tell us which semi permanent brand we can use to cover gray roots while transitioning
Great video!! Do you have any suggestions within the realms of DIY for people with 25% grey hair? Would doing supermarket root-touch up wands work just to make them less obvious at the roots? Or something like that?
I am in the same boat. Wondering about just those wands, but don’t want to add chemicals
Can you name a good toner for grey hair
Beautiful explanation!
Can you give me a brand name of purple shampoo? Should you use regular conditioners or use purple conditioners too?
Bold Uniq makes great purple shampoo and conditioner.
Fanola is my favorite purple shampoo! I have left a link in the description!
Thanks
thanks! will you address hair going white, with areas of dark hair?
Yes please. I have this problem
I’m seeing more and more grays popping up 😫 I’m only 35 so I’m not happy about it. I love my natural color so I don’t want to color it so I’m hoping this video will help me out
Yes I would recommend to start with a semi permanent color for now!
Thank you 😊
Another great video
Thank you so much!
All of your advice is spot on. Thank you so much
Yeah, I’m having trouble keeping it hydrated
Thank you so much!!
When I use a 10 volume it covers my 50% grey perfectly
I’ve recently found your channel and love your advice and results of different hair coloring. I need your advice please. My hair (medium brown with old highlights and silver with gray) grew out for one year. I had a stroke and doing my hair was not a priority. Two weeks ago, I went to my hair stylist and told her I would like some silver highlights to blend with my gray. I showed her two pictures I had found. Not a good situation…I know have chunky blonde highlights in the front, and she put some dark brown on some strands which I didn’t even know about until I saw the finished hair. The highlights were light blonde with some yellow, brassyness. She bleached it again and put a different toner on it. I’ve washed it about 4 times, and I hate it!! The toner is pretty much gone, and I do use purple shampoo every other time. I have a consultation at a different salon to see if something can be done to get the yellow out. Where I had a lot of very light silver, it’s white but elsewhere it’s blonde. Do you thing it can be fixed so I have the gray back and the highlights not yellow. It makes me sad that it had grown out for a year, and I liked the look and only wanted to brighten it while blending it so it would continue to grow without color. Please give me your advice…I’d really appreciate it. Oh, my natural color hair is medium brown. The way she placed these blonde highlights and added dark brown strands, I look like a skunk😢
Yikes! She does offer online consultations. Look in the description box.
Great tips as always! 🤗
I refuse to dye my Grey's because 1) I like the look. 2) It's gonna cost way too much and 3) It looks stupid when you grow it out. Imma just play with semi permanent colors now that I have lighter hairs. It may not last forever but it actually shows up now
Thank you so much for the great video im 37 and my problem is i have only one portion of the front of my hair turned completely white unlike the women who have salt and pepper its really hard to cover it
Same! I have this one pure white patch at the front of my hair and it’s a nightmare to cover!
The semipermanent color stays 2-3 month on my brown hair, but just a week or two on my greys.🤨 So bc I have just a little grey hairs, I decided not to color them. But... although I have little greys, my brown color changed from warm to neutral. So I'd like to add some warmth back. I tried henna, but it relaxes my waves. Permanent color damaaged my thin hair. What is the best solution? Recommendations for any other natural color? Or?
And blonds with highlights? Do you have tips? Thanks🙏
It's even harder for us 😓
Thank you
Good to know!
If you use a semi permanent on grey roots, what is involved in removing it? You said it is much easier, but didn’t say how.
I have one stubborn white patch on my temple.
A Cruella De-Ville streak if I let it grow!
Any hair dye just seems to wash away from it in about a week. Even being done in the salon! I’m only 30 and am a natural brunette so it’s so noticeable. Help!
Same !!! I have a white patch on my left side near my “sideburns” and I’ll dye it (professional or box dye) and by the next week it’s washed out. Since I have dark hair it’ll fade to orange and then white again 🤨
I’ve decided to just let it grow out Lol
Please:
What is a good brand of purple shampoo grey hair ?
What is a good conditioner for your gray hair ?
What if you have whiter roots and browner ends because of the natural greying process. There is still awkwardness even when embracing complete natural hair. I've not dyed my hair in almost 10 years and my ends are significantly browner simply because in the last year the greying has sped up. So my roots are different. I am constantly fighting myself not to bleach it, but if I did bleach it, it would still be virgin hair :D
I don't have any advice for you, but I just wanted to say that I think your hair looks really cool! If it were me, I wouldn't do anything to change it.
I have a very specific case, my hair is this dark brown to light blonde ombre, but I do have those 25% grey hair so instead of just lifting up my ombre once or twice a year I have to color my roots brow to hide the grey hairs, but when it comes to lifting my ombre up I have to light my brown colored hair and it gets hard and damaging. What would you suggest in that case? Thanks
Give up on your ombré? And get full length dimensional coloring
@@Swan.princess That's kinda what I did + extensions
Hi Sylvia
Do I need to use the grey coverage specific colour for the level or can I just use say an ash brown in the level with a 20 vol developer ? I am an all over level 6 and find that the grey coverage level 6 throws warmth which i hate. Xxx
Good question. The same happens to me.
I use perminent boxed hairdye and it comes back every 2 weeks. L'Oréal casting is the best for my hair but I don't know hat else to use or do. My hair is dyed dark.
Hi you look beautiful, more than I bleach my hair and use so many different things to my hair is silver and white ,what you recommend to keep it, tone and shine and what shampoo,and is falling too,thank you,I love your videos,God Bless you 💖
Thank you for sharing some options. The challenge I’m having is I have two spots (where are my horns would be😂) that are very solid gray and so I’ve just been dying those but I just realize that they always say short in baby hairs.

Yes, it’s breaking off. Use a semi-permanent or temporary color, if you must color.
I have let my grey grow out to a bob length. I have about 50 % grey and I would like some more exentuated silver parts in the front mimicking the stripes that my grey makes. I am naturally about a level 4-5 I guess.
I have watched your video with the home box dyes and I have bought the “colorista effects bleach”. Will this give me a good result or should I not do this on my own? I just dont have any good experiences with the hairdressers in my area 😬 They do a slobby patchy work. And I cant go to saloons due to covid anyway. If I have a chance of a good outcome I can order a consultation with you to get some guidances and learn how to touch up the roots. 😊🙏🏻
I’ve had grey since I was 16 and I only have them in my middle part starting about an inch back and just in the middle 😢
So I am curious about semi permanent dye. You said it won't really do the job, but then you talked about using it to grow out dyed ends.
I have lots of grey that came in mainly in the front. I dont mind that it wont work for long, but does that semi permanent dye really wash out completely? Could be a temporary bit of fun and experimentation.
Hey I have grays more than 25% or just that they are only on the top of my head. But I'm a light readhead. As u can see in my pick. Can u recomend things in general for readhead ? It's so difficult to find something. It's like no one wants to deal with readheads. Also , my mom used to said and I agree, when u get old you can't use darker colors ( she was a brunet ) because it make your face looks more sharp, like less soft ) and I've noticed Nicole Kidman who has my same hair color is going from blonde to light readhead again and again ( just like me ) it's like she can't find a good way to covered her gray hair neither. Me I use to be a 7 now I'm using 9. That I did the last time. I just only dive my grays. But it's far too complicate to do it myself and seems no hairdresser want to do this job neither. That would be so easy for them . I used the same technique that u have to use when u do highlights with aluminum foil. I just picked up only my grays ! And it worked lovely 💓. But I can't reach the back of my hair. And later I have to use a toner to tone everything the same color. ( Maybe because I used blond instead of 9.3 ) any advise ?
Thank you!!!!
How are my greys changing texture?! I’ve always had 1B hair, coarse, and LOTS of it, but my greys are all coming in as 2C?!?!?! HOW?!?!?!
what if you have already been bleaching your hair and you want to embrace the grey??
I just went for the semi-permanent grey colors 3 years ago. Worked out fine.
I use box permanent dye in light Golden brown and it covers the grey for 1 day. My grey’s are WHITE clear….it looks awful.
Ive dark/black hair from box dyes and i have greys coming out my ears now! I dont know what to do 😮
how to blend in the gray hair without covering it?
I love your videos, I have a question I am about 95 or percent grey but been coloring since teenager but a couple years now doesn’t cover at all. However my hear is blood and I am trying to make it platinum blonde in order to blend gray highlights. What do you suggest I do?
Hi!! Can you give me some recommendation for a good Argan oil? I have 75% of grey it is very dry. I want to blend highlights, lowlights to cover the grays. But I need moist first.
Thank you. I
Some ppl look great with grey hair. I’m not one of them.
I have a random question I need help on. By mistake I received a L'Oreal Power Toner. Little did I know that my hair would turn copper after dying it ash blonde. Should I use this toner?
I am 24 and I am starting to have some gray hairs, because of vitiligo (my father has vitiligo, so I probably have it too). I am natural blonde, so it's not so visible. my mother has natural light blonde hair and some of her hairs are gray, but they blend in together. they look like platinum blonde to me
Are you back in a salon now? Or still only virtual?
I have 50% or more i do have natural black hair and i color with permanent color and 20 vol developer and it still pops out in a couple weeks and i only wash my hair every 5 days 😩
what happens if you have been colouring your hair, your dark brown, have 50 percent and colour only lasting a week or two
Been covering my greys for 20years and out of the blue I've just became allergic to hair colour...so upset right now
Hi great video
I have thick curly brunette hair
I have had my hair Japanese straighted ( yearly )
Sept 2020 I had a few highlights ( just bleach ) they are peek a-boo a partial of a partial
A have very little grey ( less then 50) I just pull them
Is that ok ? I am 44
Starting to gent them, but concerned about how to make it less visible 🥴
What are good semipermanent color?
I got babylighst to disguise my 3% GREY HAIR but found the blonde washed me out. I want to stay brunette. How can I just dye the 20 or so grey hair strands I HAVE without getting highlights
What to do between root touch ups?
What you all think about henna ?
over a year ago, I switched to semi-permanent colour. Now I've stopped dying, and it's starting to wash off, but is quite brassy at the moment. I'm considering a deposit-only mask to grey-ify the hair that's been semi-permanently dyed. Do you have one you'd recommend?
Hi can I know which semi permanent brand you used for your gray roots
Should I pluck my only 2 gray strands? I have naturally brown hair and I'm almost 34
Lucky you, I'm 21 and already have 3 gray strands 😢
What a beautiful women .
like video but wish she wouldn't mess with her lips. why do women do that?
Beautiful sweetie watch ideas for better
You are beautiful but it looks to me like you are using too much Botox or fillers, especially around your lips. Please do not overdo it. Try to embrace your aging face without trauma. You do not need to follow these crazy trends that make the face look frozen and, I am sure you will look less plastic and artificial.
in the pic of the women growing out her grey... what colour would be match to the colour she's growing out? I love that colour. Not the grey but the brown.
