Sorry for shouting.
Ok, actually I'm not sorry. Fed up. Grr.
I have a huge amount of grey/white at the front of my hairline, and right through my parting. It is so fucking stubborn it just won't take colour very well. I have just dyed my hair a mid brown, and did the roots first,left it on for ages before just running through the rest of it, and it's still at least one shade lighter than the rest of my hair, maybe even more.
At the moment it's not horrendous as my hair is cut deliberately to hide the roots growing out too quickly, but fuck me it's really shit not being able to cover it. if the wind catches it, there is that almost flourescent brown at the roots.
Any ideas? I have tried various brands, have tried using peroxide on the roots first to make it more porous. I know salon is best, but really 1) I can't ever find the time to make it to the salon for 2 hours every 4 weeks b) I can't always get there due to health reasons and b) it's bloody expensive.
Before you suggest just going grey gracefully, not a fucking chance. I already walk stooped like an old woman due to back problems, I am not going grey as well just yet (and anyway, I still have a large amount of my own colour too so it will still look fucking stupid unless I get it dyed grey, then I might as well get it dyed brown or whatever).
