Have been dying my hair for around 32 years. From what I remember I was originally kind of light brown. First went with henna, then various reds and darkish browns with chemical dye. Am quite grey now. Last year I got my hair dyed back to something not unlike my own original colour in the hope it would be not that noticeable and maybe blend in if I I started to grow it out.
After a few months it looked horrendous.
The grey/brown natural part is not so bad, but the fact that I have the grey pepper and salt bit on top and then the light brown dyed bits makes it look horrible. I have tried wash in wash out products but they make the top of my head look purple!!!.
I do not want to start harsh chemical dying again, short hair does not suit me and I don't want to look the way I do now.
So far hairdressers have told me there is nothing that can be done. I have a vague idea that it should be possible to pit some very ashy highlights and lowlights in and over time have less to make it all less noticeable.
Happy about any ideas.
