Is there any way to dye or camouflage grey hair but leave the rest it's natural colour?

[TelephoneIgnoringMachine]

I'm not massively keen on dyeing my hair but nor am I keen on my bright silver hairs which are rapidly invading my head. I'm a sort of light brunette in winter, dark golden honey blonde in summer, with reddish tones. Similar to Jennifer Aniston but more ombre from the sun.

Is there any way of hiding the grey without dyeing over the rest of my natural colour entirely? What about highlights or something, would this camouflage them?

There is a product on the market called colour WOW, I got mine off ebay and use it to touch up my roots between visits to the hairdressers. It says on it that you can use it to cover grey hairs too.

You can get hair mascara to temporarily paint out the white ones.
Or WOW as mentioned above for a bit of root camouflage.
Highlights may provide an optical illusion but silver hairs to have a way of shouting out look-at-me!
You could try and find an all-over dye very close to your natural colour.
Or learn to love the grey.

Thanks for the replies. Learn to love them it is then. It's not just the roots, so that WOW wouldn't help. And I don't think there is a dye that's close to my natural colour, as I've naturally got a lot of highlights.

I use henna, it covers my grey a reddish colour and my brown hair stays the same it looks like i have highlights

Yes I do this, I have a combination of golden highlights and a few strands of my natural hair colour put through 3x a year, all tones together nicely and disguises the grey and white.

There used to be something called grecian2000, I remember my mum using it. It did something to replace whatever it is thst turns your hair grey. Might be worth a Google

OMG I have just looked at the reviews of Grecian 2000 on Boots - will NOT be using that!

I've used henna before, both chestnut red, and brown shades (the gorgeous ones from Lush). Unfortunately these are no longer practical for me - take far too long to apply, & they are significantly darker than my natural colour, I'm a low-maintenance person lazy with my appearance. I did contemplate them though. I wonder how henna would take on grey hair?

Perhaps I'll look at getting some subtle highlights done occasionally, especially at the front & as I get more grey.

Sorry I was on my phone last night so not able to look at it. Is it really bad?

Going to have a look now.

Go and explain what you want to your hairdresser, if they do it subtly you won't have to have it done every month, as I said earlier I only need mine doing 3x a year as even when it grows out it blends in and looks fine.

I have been sat in my car while my toddler was asleep just looking at my grey hairs.
I only have a few, but the time will come when I consider this.

I have a hair appointment on weds so will ask then.

Review of Grecian 2000 on Boots.com:

I've tried both this and the foam. The foam version is easier to apply neither works as advertised.In the initial 2 week period you are instructed to use it every day and wash you hair as little as possible. Your pillows will be heavily stained and occasionally if it rains or you sweat at all there will be brown deposits on the back of your neck or running down your face. Very embarrassing when your asked what that goo is or if you've died your hair recently. Also as you can only wash your hair minimally your hair will look terrible despite the advertised built in conditioner.If you follow the instruction to the letter it will get rid of most but not all of your grey.After the initial 2 week period you still have to apply it 3 times a week, so you will still have dirty brown pillows and the occasional blob of brown tell tale goo will still occasionally dribble down your face, build up on the tops of your ears or down the back of your neck. The grey also comes back incredibly quickly after a wash.I rejected traditional hair dyes because they appeared to me to be too much hassle and this looked like an easy option but after 6 months of use I've come to the conclusion that just using a basic wash in hair dye once a fortnight is a much easier and less obvious option.

That's a no from me, then.

I use Batiste coloured dry shampoo on my roots. It gives me a few more weeks before having to colour again.

Plenty - cars mirrors are dreadful for showing up even really minor flaws, I hate them I keep a pair of tweezers in the glove compartment though so I can have a quick tidy up of my brows when I am waiting to pick up ds from sports club

I have highlights/lowlights, plus my natural hair colour. I have it done twice a year.

Look on groupon for cheap local hairdresser offers. I had my hair cut and coloured for £35.

The light was only on one side of my hair, so I suspect I have lots in the other side....

i like that spray, the new Charles Worhtington one
