Well, join the club. My first gray hair was when I was 18 yrs. I started dying it in my early twenties. I just use the box hair colors. For me, the only ones that actually cover my (difficult) gray is Preference or Excellance by L'Oreal. I like to change up colors. Since I had a medium to light brown hair color, I choose a range in color from dark blonde to medium brown depending on my mood. I also use some of the red's as well. Luckily my brown is lighter and the gray doesn't show through as much as people with dark brown. However, as I get older (50ish) I tend to use a lighter color because your skin tone changes and a darker color really drags down your skin appearance.

Use to color off and on...more on...then decided the money could be used better FABRIC. In my heart and head I don't feel as old as the population says...well the body has a mind of its own. But it is salt and pepper, shoulder length, and natural curl....if you or anyone doesn't like it then bless them to look the other way. Garnier was the brand I used previously.

I'm a hairdresser also. I have to agree that it would be best to let a professional color your hair for you.

It's very costly when you mess up and time cosuming and you'll feel better. Sorry not one for Salley either they actually try to give you advice, but not always knowing what they talking about. Give all this a throught!!

Been going to the same girl for eons.........and she uses Clairol.....which works just great on my hair.
Away for the winter, and the girl here told me.."oh, what I use is so much better"
I left there looking like Bozo, the clown !!!!!
When you find something that works for you, stick with it !!!!!!

PERFERANCE BY LOREAL PERMANENT HAIR COLORING A 71/2 MY HUSBAND EVEN KNOW THE COLOR LOL. IT'S A LITTLE MORE BUT SO WORTH IT. IF YOUR HAIR TURNS ORANGE IT IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T LET IT LIGHTEN UP TO THE FULL WHITE. HAVE FUN PLEASE POST A PICTURE WHEN YOU ARE DONE

I have been using Clairol Nice and Easy Permanent hair color for about 25yrs and I love it. My beautician tells me all the time that my hair is so healthy looking. I had to do only body perms and only once a year though.....in past two years I have gone a straight bob cut and love it.....no perms anymore!! I hope you try Nice and Easy.....let us know!!

I don't mind my gray hairs, but I found that if I color my hair, my perms last longer! And if I don't perm, my hair is SO straight & SO fine, that it looks like I barely HAVE hair! lol
So anyway, I prefer the Loreal brands. I usually get them at Target when they're on sale, so they're not too pricey.

I've been bleaching my hair for 40+ years and last week I went to the beauty shop and had it reverse frosted (heavy). I think I'm going to like it but I still see this stranger looking at me everytime I go near a mirror!
