Do I need highlights or a tint?

My greys have sped up during lockdown! I’ve been disguising them with a root touch up spray but they are coming through thick and fast now although only really on the top not as much through rest of hair.

I’ve always had highlights which helped blend the greys in when there were a few but now I’m wondering I should ask for an all over tint.

A friend just had her hair done and it’s a gorgeous honey blonder colour. She is quite grey naturally. She said she had a no.8 colour all over and then t-section highlights every months. All her greys are covered.
Whats does a no. 8 tint mean? Is this permanent colour? It looks gorgeous on my friend so am wondering if I should change to this from normal half head highlights now I am much greyer.

Can anyone advise please?

I think 8 will denote the blonde colour as hair colour runs from 1 (black) to 10 (lightest blonde).

It will be a permanent colour as semi permanent wouldnt lighten darker hair

if your hair is naturally dark then you would need bleach to make your hair blonde. Highlights basically bleach your hair to make it lighter
