Tips for Selecting Hair Dye : How to Cover Gray Hair with Dye

[MsDataLoreLover]

My mother started going gray early and now so am I.

I get gray mostly on the top (the hairline above my forehead)

and on the sides (my temples).

My hair used to be auburn (reddish-brown).

I have thought about just letting all my hair coloring grow out of

my hair, but I'm only 38. I don"t like going gray at 38.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to beat the

gray?

Please help!

Where can I get the chart displayed on the board in your video. Please let me know the website from where I can order because I have tried most of the salon supply stores in australia but could not find it anywhere.

I can't wait until my hair goes even greyer. I bleach my hair, so my it is always very damaged. When my hair gets around fifty percent grey, I will color it with a permanent or semi-permanent dye which will be much less damaging. I think grey, silver, and white hair are beautiful and striking, but I've heard it's a turn off for most men. I like the male attention I get for being a blonde.

i have my gray around the hairline ,and when i dye it ,it only lasts maybe a week a waste of money. did i hear you say clairol has a good dye for covering the gray. that would be god for me at least if it lasted for more than a week i know there had to be something bettern tell me more.

I've got grey hairs scattered throughout my head (I'd say I'm 10-15% grey) and I really want to dye my hair red for the fun of it but I'm worried that will make a white strand really stand out. Have any of you gone from grey to red?

can't wait to use it but when i grow my hair.

[starinthehoodmuzz]

[dondondodo]

I proly have 10% white hair. I'd like to dye my hair black. what would you recommend? Wha'ts the difference between permanent and semi? thank you.

[bajanbash2k7]

the difference is permanant grows out why semi permanent fades and last up to 8-9 weeks

I have off-black hair with scattered gray hairs (about 15- 20 gray hairs- that I can see)- what color is best to dye my hair? I have never dyed my hair before and am scared to do so. Should I use permanent or semi? Could you recommend a color and brand for me?

you could use any colour since i cant see your face and what skin tone u are then dat woudl be difficult, but seeing your hair is black u could use black.. you could use either semi permanent or permanent. Clairol is the better brand but i advise you 2 go 2 the salon 2 get this procedure done where consulatation would be given because you would need to get regular treatments since colour tends 2 break the hair. Good luck

omg thank you!

[ReallyAmBored]

does this same technique apply to relaxed/permed hair?  Can u still use permanent colours or will that be damaging?

[bajanbash2k7]

the technique for applying colour is SIMILAR to relaxer. But you don't apply over and under like a relaxer you apply just under or over... you choose.

[ReallyAmBored]

ok, but is it ok to use relax and use perm colour? is there any perm colour/relaxer that are better for this?

[bajanbash2k7]

yes it is ok to use a relaxer and colour but u must colour your hair 2weeks after a relaxer the only colour that can use after a relaxer is a rinse.

[pauswa1966]

Thank you for the excellent advice. Now I understand why it is best to use a neutral color on graying hair because it has all the colors in it.

My mom has some gray hair in her hair.

She said the best way to get rid of it is to pick them out with a picker.

Is that a good way to get rid of gray hair?

[PinkChocolat07]

Sorry but I'd say no. First of all, it's going to reappear anyway. It also takes up too much time. And finally when she eventually becomes fully grey, she'll just be bald if she plucked out all those hairs!
