New Hair Growth is White - highlighting options?

Hello

I have long hair and have gotten blonde nightlights for years with a toner put on. Costs about £200 a time (I'm not in London).

Mid 40s now and hair has thinned on one side just at temple.

Taken biotin for last 6 months and new baby hair coming through at temple which is white.

Wear hair in side parting which doesn't help but don't suit middle parting.

Have a youngish hairdresser (big salon) who I don't think quite gets menopausal hair of effect thinned hair can have.

She coloured the new baby hair at temple auburn last time and it just didn't work or last.

I feel I look bald at front at one side and can't wear hair back as looks worse.

What would you ask for this time please colour wise and cut?

I'd go to someone who knows what they're doing.

I have a young hairdresser and she knows exactly how menopause affects hair .

I'm the same, I have highlights to blend it in 3x a year so it breaks up the white, grey.

Thanks @LoafofSellotape

I'm noticing that the grey and the white isn't blending in as much as it used to anymore

You need to find a hairdresser that specialises in grey blending. There's a specific training that people do just like when balayage became a thing.

Cheers @Thatsenoughadulting I didn't know that that was a thing but it makes sense . I'll do a Google and see if any salons do that here (I'm in a small town)
