Please talk to me about hair dye....

[KatyMac]

I put a permanent colour on my hair about 3 weeks ago & it has completely washed out

This is not the first time - on occasions I have a hairdresser dye it & it ften washes out or doesn't last long

So which make is the longest lasting - it is to cover grey

Actually if my grey were more gold/red they would be lovely highlights

TIA

did you leave it on long enough.

what colour is your hair, or what colour dye are you using.

i only have exp of dark brown.

I use nice n easy and leave it on for about 40 mins - normally gives pretty good coverage on most of my grey hair.
Would recommend it.

I use nice and easy too, leave it on a bit longer than they say, prob around 40 mins like missisboot says. Red shades have a tendency to wash out or fade faster than other shades, so maybe thats the problem??

Hmm - my hair is dark brown & I'm using dark brown

I think I used Nice & Easy.....I left it on for 40 mins (so maybe longer next time)

Thanks

hi,

i used to use permanents for a few yrs. Yet my hair suffered. Now i use a semi, the normal Casting one (not the more expensive Casting one)in their medium brown. I leave it on for longer than i am supposed too, but the regrowth isn't as severe, and becuase it does fade, a bit, it looks a bit more natural.

Not so harsh iyswim. I have very grey hair and i find the coverage good.

Well (like the pratt I am) I used a permanent one

By Garnier

With fruit oils

THIS time it has taken - but it is slightly too dark

I guess it's back to the wash in ones - thanks for the suggestion

hey you are not a prat, i used to love my permanent red colour, but it took a toll on myhair. I went to the hairdressers, thinking about having some highlights done, and they did a sample, and my hair practically evaporated, and fizzed, as it had no protiens left in it. So i decided, to ditch the permanent, even tho it always looked quite glossy.

I have tried alot of the semi's and the one i mentioned is the best so far.

KatyMac - if it looks too dark don't worry - the colour should lift after a few washes to teh correct colour. I always feel I'm looking v gothic for the first few days!

Thanks for the reassurance

My mum loves it
