I am 42 years old, and for the past 2 years my haircolor will not hold. I color to cover gray.
I have been to 3 different salons, all using what I think are pretty good brands of haircolor, (Redken, Goldwell & Keune). I have naturally dark brown hair, and I get it died to match.
The problem is, the new growth... After getting it colored, my roots are orange, and continue to get lighter and lighter as the day's go by :|
My hair is about 3-4 inches in length all over (had to cut all my length off because of this). Looking closely at the hair, you can see that it's the roots that aren't taking, but as you go down the length of the strands, they get darker.
I am putting a semi-permanent color in it every 2 weeks, just to try & knock out some of the orange - so I can walk outside the door!! The condition of my hair is getting worse and worse, because I am going every 6 weeks for colorings, and putting this semi-permanent color in it.
Since the problem is starting with the new growth, does anyone think it might be hormones or something I eat??
Nobody at the salons I've gone too know why this is happening, their attempt at a remedy is to just leave the color in longer, which is frying my hair. I know their intentions are good, but I'd like to (pun intended!) get to the root of the problem!
If anyone can help, I'd surely appreciate it!
