semi perm hair colour not lasting

[Gatekeeper]

my frizzy grey hairs at the temple and hair line no longer seem to hold onto semi permanents for very long anymore. I don't have a huge amount of grey so only colour these bit with a semi -one of those which are supposed to last 28 washes- only now they seem to last only for a couple

I don't want to embrace the grey yet as I feel it makes me look older than I am and it also doesn't look good against my grey skin

Anyone anything they can recommend please? I don't want to dye all of my hair, just the temples and hairline round my forehead

Ta!

Johnny no mates here again bumping the thread

Anyone????

please

No idea but I'd like to know too.

permanent i'm afraid.

Trouble with grey hair is it's porous so it grabs the colour but then loses it quicker.

What brand are you using? Maybe put a thread on Style and Beauty, you should get some answers there?

I use permanant too, even with that the greys fade quickest

this IS S&B , I thought I was on Chat

haha 70isalimit...the vagueness is setting in

You could just buy permanent dye and a tint bowl and brush from the pound shop and just mix up the amount you need if that's a concern? I have short hair and I generally use a third of a pack of permanent dye each time I do my hair.

how do you get the mix just right?

I usually mark the bottle of developer into sections and add the colourant from the tube by eye, seems to work fine.

I mean I squeeze what seems to be a third of the contents of the tube in if that makes sense?

Cheaper too!

I changed brands, worked for me.
