Hair colouring advice please

I have been getting an all-over colour at the hairdressers every 6 weeks and I am looking to grow out my grey.

My hair colour looks dark in the pic but fades to blornage as expected.

Would I be able to use the colour attached to cover the dyed part of my hair as it grows? Or would I be better with using a dark brown instead.

I can't afford the 6 weekly salon dye plus I am desperate for it to grow and she trims it quicker than it grows.

I use olaplex no 1 and 3 weekly.

Another hairdresser ruined my hair with bleach previously trying to get it to grey so that isn't an option this time.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello, I'm not sure of the ingredients in the Swartzkopf hair colour but if the colour remaining on your hair is permanent nothing will colour/lift it apart from bleach - so it would just dye your roots.
I'd suggest the next time you colour it to get a tsection/half head of foils in a colour similar to what you've got at the moment, you can have some lighter foils in there too but as you probably know it's hard to achieve grey on dark hair so it's optional.
The foils will blend your roots allowing you to grow your grey through and go longer between appointments, when you feel comfortable with the amount of natural grey showing you can phase out the foils.
Or if you can bare it just start growing it out and see how you feel. Nothing beats natural grey Smile

Thank you! I can see that foils might help and hadn't thought if that.
