Luckily for me, I don't have this problem as my hair is quite fair, but for those that do (including a very good friend of mine :hug: ), what is the best method for covering grey hair?
I believe that hair turns grey due to the lack of pigment in the keratin? and would assume that this will impact on the structure of the hair shaft?
So, if you have really dark hair (nearly black in fact) and want to cover the grey roots, what would be the best product to use ie. a semi permanent (as I believe this would be far more gentle on the hair) or a permanent? (well ...because it will be permanent!)
Or would low and hi lights be a better option?
I think for peeps who have very dark hair, they must feel conscious of the fact that their grey hairs show really quickly after having either type of colour! and indeed would a semi permanent colour really cover the grey???
I know that my roots even though they are quite fair, drive me nuts when they start showing so any help or advice would be very much appreciated :green: as would my friend.
BTW my friend has had both semi and permanent colours carried out by her hairdresser, along with a full consultation and whilst the results have been fairly good - they have not quite come up to expectations!
Hence my question :hug:
