My roots along my hair parting I’d say are probably 50% grey now, natural colour a sort of light brown. The Underneath section is still dark blonde/light brown (if natural) as it is much less grey. I’ve been blonde almost forever. Always had highlights really except one year when I went brunette. I quite liked it but everyone says blonde suits me.
My hairdresser says the best way for me to keep going is just highlights and some colour woven through (so I have bleach but also a tint on some highlights if that makes sense, all foils). She says a root smudge won’t work as it’s too much upkeep. But this is only 5 weeks since I’ve had my colour done and I’m already wanting it re done…not sustainable.
I am considering my options, my mum who is 100% grey but like me always been blonde has always just used a home colour on her hair and it looks fab. I know my hairdresser would not suggest this (obviously!) but also would it not work as the under side of my hair is still quite dark (ie not grey).
Can anyone offer any ideas of how to not go fully grey yet (I can’t anyway as it’s patchy!) but to better keep on top of my roots? Ideas for root touch up sprays etc also welcome. I’ve used one powder type thing and it’s ok but very drying.
i can probably afford to go every 8 weeks for the colour but even so this is only 5 weeks and I’m already not happy with it. I assume as it’s highlights / foils and not all over colour so the regrowth seems very fast.
