Going back to colouring after no dye for 4 years

I feel bad (no idea why) for thinking about it, but after saying I'd never dye it again I am considering colouring my hair. Mine's salt and pepper..pretty white at the very front and dull grey and brown the rest. Shoulder length.
I gave up colouring 4 years ago but tbh while I love how healthy it is, I currently feel washed out, old and tired ..and look it. I recently avoided getting it cut short, but wonder should I try that first?

I need a boost. Not sure whether to 'go blonde' (or rather have some ice white highlights to blend with the white..ie go greyer) or go for light brown. Either way I'd be dealing with roots again.

Has anyone done this and did it make you feel better about yourself?

Hope it gives you the colour you want, Gara.Smile

Patch test is very quick. Wet a bit of hair by running your fingers dipped in the tea through it and dry with the hairdryer. If you like it you can chuck the rest of the tea over your hair! Grin

Dye it a lighter colour. My mum is silver/gold blonde and it looks great. Makes her look much younger. Grey hair doesn't suit anyone older than 30 imo.

Grey hair doesn’t suit anyone over 30? Are you actually having a laugh yellowallpaper?!

I would go for light blond highlights.

Very interesting silverystream

I’m worried I will smell of hot beverages though 😂

Doesn't really smell SO21. Other hair products have a far stronger smell. My hair smells of my conditioner and styling product.

That’s good, thanks.
I was worried I may spend all day craving cake 😂
