I need advice. So I have naturally dark brown hair I have always loved the colour and never dyed my hair before (I'm 42) but now it's peppered with a few greys. My hairdresser suggested that one of the colourists at the salon do a brown semi-permanent to cover the grey and add shine and so I went for it. It wasn't cheap. The first time it was quite a warm colour (which I hadn't expected) so the next time I asked her to make it more dark brown and less warm, it was better at first but quite quickly over the summer it faded to a gingery colour on top. Underneath the top layer of hair it's still my original dark brown, with bits of grey but now it looks like the ginger needs to grow out, and it looks dry. I take good care of my hair and am told it's in good condition but to my eye it looks frizzier maybe because of the colour.
So what to do? The colour is driving me mad, but if I get it dyed again will it do this again? It will take ages to grow out as my hair is shoulder length. Or, is there a dye out there that will give me shiny dark brown locks without unnecessary warmth? Like I said, I need advice.
