Do I give in ans reach for the hair dye or wait it out. I just feel so rubbish especially now I'm back to work so feeling more self conscious. Does help that my natural colour is dark brown but I have highlights running through it so no I have dark roots with grey streaks and blonde ends!! Can any ony suggest anything to cover them ☹️

My hair is similar to yours. How about one of those spray on root colours? I have one and they are pretty good. It just blends it in a little rather than completely covering and I find it looks better. If you don't like it, it washes straight out

I reached for the box dye last week. Mid brown very grown out roots, a few greys and the rest highlighted blonde.
I now have blonde roots - warmer than I would usually go for - but much much better.
I did an inch section strand test in foil so I was sure of the outcome. Maybe try a few and see if you feel any give you a good result? If you put on a lighter colour you can still have high lights when the salons open. If you go darker that’s a lot more risky, long term.

Clairol Root Touch Up OP

Sprays might work on yours, as the roots aren’t too bad. You have to apply them every day though, as they brush out.

My hair is similar to yours. I put a dark blonde L’Oréal Castings on. I left it on the roots for the recommended time and then worked it through the ends for an extra 5 mins (so that I didn’t get a line). It looks pretty good. The grey streaks are now dark blonde, same as my highlights and the bits of brown I still have left are still brown.

I know it's how you feel about it and I don't mean to diminish that but yours really, really don't look that bad but I really empathise as mine are I feel looking bloody dreadful BUT I can highly recommend the Josh Wood root touch up products. They're a little bit more expensive but they make me feel lots better during the never ending amount of video calls I'm doing

I know there are so many bigger things to worry about and to be grateful for if you are well and safe but God I miss my hairdresser.

Did anyone see Mary Portas on the news last night? Rocking those roots!
