hair colour not covering roots!!!

[jonesj]

my hair is very grey indeed - i started going grey in my early 20's and i am 50 now. I have been paying over £50 every 5wks at local salon. The colour is lovely but i can see my roots through after only 2weeks. This is a new salon and their colours are better believe it or not - its just my hair grows fast !I just cannot afford to continue paying this amount out.My only option is to go back to home colouring (which I hate) as my hair ends up patchy. Do others colour the whole head and not just roots to ensure even coverage. any help would be lovely thank you

I have no answers but exactly the same problem! Watching for replies

I, too, am having this problem. I used to get my hair done at a salon and I liked it but it's too expensive to do every three weeks. Not to mention time-consuming during a busy day. So I have been doing it at home (Clairol Nice n Easy or L'Oreal something-or-other). The problem with doing it at home hasn't been patchiness, per se, so much as feeling like I'm just not fully getting the greys covered. It is very annoying.

I know some women go in for lighter hair colour and highlights so that grey roots aren't as drastic between touch-ups, but my hair is a very dark brown and I don't think I can really do much to lighten it.

I always assumed that salon colour is stronger and will at least cover grey better, even if regrowth is a pricey problem. I don't actually know if that is true.

Using belle colour in between but so grey really sob sob
