To put blonde dye straight onto grey hair?

[MrsOverTheRoad]

I'm pretty much 100% grey at 45 years old...have been going grey since I was 18.

I have dyed it brown for many years now...very little spare cash so salon job is not an option.

I'm sick of it! I'm now sick of how fast my roots reappear because I have fast growing thick hair.

I'm considering letting the grey take over....but I don't want grey hair.

I wondered about putting a blonde dye on the grey...would it work?

I thought that I could bear having terrible hair for a while...then when I had enough grey visible, getting a short bob and dying it blonde.

Whilst it's growing out I can wear headscarves and just look a bugger...I work from home luckily so don't need to worry about being messy looking for work.

So I am mostly dark in the back and under layers but the top and front has lots of white in it. what will happen if I put a semi permanent blonde dye In? Would it bleach the dark hair? Or just make the white hair blondy?

My only experience of this many years ago (semi blonde on dark permanent) was my hair turning orange! Not sure if the semis are any different nowadays.

Why don't you at least go and get professional advice?

I will talk to my hairdresser next time I'm there. I'm just curious to know what home dye kits could achieve.

Nanny well hairdressers don't give free consultations.

I know this is an old thread, but anyone who finds this and is looking for similar answers: dont listen to those who say grey is ageing!! And for gods sake dont cut it into a sharp bob. THAT is ageing. Unless you want to look like a librarian. Longish, and nicely maintained it sexiest
