Please don't tell me to go to a salon as I can't afford it!
Hair-story - Originally naturally a very dark brunette but went almost fully grey in early thirties. Embraced it for a while but ultimately got fed up of it and started doing pastel pink/purple then teal with dark roots, magenta with dark roots, all at home (so not afraid to have a go at hair stuff). Loved them all but an absolute nightmare to upkeep. I also had a brief stint as an all over redhead last year but got bored of that pretty quickly.
I want a more natural colour for a change (age and job related). What I want is a colour that my greys blend more easily into. Blonde is not an option as its too difficult to maintain at home and my hair is damaged. Plus I look shit as a blonde. Don't want too too dark (level 4-5) like my original natural colour) as the greys are too obvious against the dark colour.
Bleached my hair to get a blank canvas and then panic-applied a dark rose gold semi mixed with a light brown semi and its turned out to be gingery mouse with a green tinge. I hate it.
I want something rich and flattering (I'm pale and cool toned with blue eyes and freckles) without being too dark.
Can anyone advise on what might work? Has to be something I can apply over this colour as not willing to damage my hair further with colour remover or more bleach.
Have attached a pic of my current hair and of a colour I really like. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
