Hi my hair has been going grey since I was 20 and I'm now 46. I used to have it coloured a dark brown, which was my natural colour before I started going grey. But the roots grew through so quickly that I was having it coloured every 3 weeks and it was costing a fortune. I decided to start colouring it myself and at first it was ok but I could never find a really natural looking brown, everything had red in it. I somehow managed over the years to get the red out and started to go lighter and lighter, thinking that the grey wouldn't notice so much when it grew. I'm not totally sure what colour I am now lol but its very light brown or could that be dark blonde. When a colour on the box says dark blonde, it looks brown to me lol.:lol:
I really want to go even lighter, at the moment there are very light bits running through my hair where the colour hasn't taken properly on the grey and it looks like highlights and very natural.
Waffle, waffle, anyway my question is can i use a permanent blonde colour on my light brown hair without having to have the colour lifted first, a bleach bath i think its called, I had it once many years ago and spent 6 hours in the hairdressers and it still came out orange, hence me not wanting to go back to a hairdresser.
as I said i've been going grey since I was 20 and quite honestly its depressing. I know i can't go back to chocolate brown as I just can't keep up with the regrowth.
any suggestions or is there a mobile hairdresser in the Reading, Newbury, Basingstoke area who could sort me out.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm very down at the mo, business slow and I just need something to pick me up a bit. Oh my hair is short, I've given up with having it long and coloured.
