Dear Folks who are knowledgeable about hair,
I’m in my 40s, have dark hair with greys popping through, and I’m very inexperienced with hair dye.
Last year, I had my hair dyed for the very first time. I’ve always liked my natural colour, so I chose just to stick with. I went to a hairdresser who selected each of my great strands and dyed just those (yes, it costed a fortune) - it turned out great.
Despite this, my hair went vvv dry and knotty.
i tried every manner of shampoo and conditioner, but nothing worked. It was so knotty. The change of shampoos gave me scalp trouble and even if I used a hair masque or leave in conditioner, because my hair is so fine, I it just gets v greasy looking.
So I had to wait for it to grow out.
So over a year later I’m quite grey - I need it dyed again. I’d like the same procedure, but a better, milder type of dye. I know Henna won’t really help me. Is there anything else I can use that will give me good lasting coverage?
