Balayage- how do you deal with greys?

[Ontherebound34]

Hi all. I was thinking of balayage but I don’t know what I’d do with grey roots. I don’t have loads (less than 10% I reckon) but still enough to notice. If you don’t get the colour redone often, how do you deal with this? Or is it just a non-grey person thing and should I just stick to my usual highlights?

For work I just rock the grey look - I work in a nursery so it’s normally just shoved up in a messy bun and full of glitter/sand/worse
For going out or church I use one of those spray in cover up things. Make a huge difference and easy to use.

The one I use is L’Oreal Magic Retouch. It’s £6-8 on Amazon

I get a root tint to cover them.

Thanks for those tips.
@fiorentina what root tint you use?

Sorry I meant I have a root tint at the hairdressers around 6-8 weeks in between appointments when’re I’m having more highlights added.

I chose balayage partially because I want my greys to grow in naturally. I don’t want to cover them long term but would like to detract from them a little. I’m maybe 5% greys if that though and balayage works brilliantly for taking the attention away without leaving roots/ requiring regular touch ups.

Nice and easy root tint or the superdrug own brand.
I can do it myself, I do the bits you can see, round the hair line, top of my hair, parting.
Do you have a friend, sister or mum that could slap it on for you?
I throw away the little brush that comes in the pack and have bought myself a tinting brush from the local chemist, it's easy to do
