I'm 39 with mid brown hair that has a fair peppering of grey. For about the last five years I've worn it mid-length and dyed it every 6 weeks or so with Loreal Castings light brown which did a reasonable job of covering the greys and is pretty close to my natural shade. However, this summer people started to comment on how light my hair was looking and I realised the constant dying must be stripping the colour out of my hair. Rather stupidly I assumed that semi-permanents didn't do anything long-term to your hair, but I've since checked the packet and realised that the hydrogen peroxide in the developer is probably to blame for lightening my hair. Anyway, today I had a look in Boots to see if they had any wash in/wash out colour - the sort I used as a teenager and I couldn't find anything. So do those 6 wash type dyes still exist and will they cover a bit of grey - I don't mind using it every week or so if it won't damage my hair?
