How do i manage grey hair?

Unfortunately i have grey hair - agh!!! Not all of it but quite a bit. i have been dyeing it dark brown but hate the block of colour if you know what i mean.

Does anyone know of any other way to manage/hide grey hair? - i am looking for a permanent solution that i can just do/get done every six weeks etc. I feel the dark colour makes me look older as my natural hair is light brown.

i.e would highlights/low lights (not bright blonde) work?

Any ideas would be very much appreciated as i dyed my hair last night to dark brown and my son said i look like morticia from the adams family!

Are you using a permanent color or temporary? Using a color marketed to men specifically or women? I ask this because there are major differences in haircolor offered commercially.

Permanent color is your best option as it will offer complete grey coverage with maintanence being every 4 - 6 weeks. Color marketed to men often contain metallic salts that react bad with other colors on the market.

Color choices should stay within the shade of your natural hair and no more than one shadelighter or darker for best results. Perhaps a choice of a light or medium brown will provide results more to your liking. Since you are covering grey, always choose a color that is described as "neutral" or "natural" as to avoid unwanted color casts in your grey as it is colored.

As for the color you just applied... it is in it's freshest peak at this moment. All color will fade, to some extent. Expect it to tone down a half to a full shade within the next week or so.

Honestly, the advice of a local salon professional will be your best bet. They can see your hair, determine the percentage of grey in your hair, and custom formulate a color that will match your natural exactly. And, they'll most likely offer a complimentary consultation. Worth the time to get the results you really want, isn't it?

Seek the advice of a local pro and you will not go wrong.

To check graying of hair, mix lemon juice in olive oil, beat till frothy and apply on scalp and wash off after an hour. Premature graying of hair can be postponed by using a strong decotion of black tea and a tablespoon of salt, strain and apply to the roots for 45 minutes and wash with water. Don't shampoo.
