I have dark brown hair but sadly have lots of grey ☹️ a trait inherited from my mum and grandad who both were totally grey by my age - I am nearly 36 (I've got off lightly compared to them at least I suppose). I used to dye it myself but my hairdresser basically told me (very nicely of course) that (a) I was sh1te at it and (b) I had too much grey to keep getting away with it so I get it coloured at the salon now. It's another dark brown shade, a bit richer than my natural shade and I'm generally v pleased with it.
However I only got it done a month ago and now my roots are starting to come through, and there's so much grey ☹️ and because the rest of my hair is so dark it looks very obvious. I'm going to have to buy that root touch up stuff, as I can't afford to go to the salon to get it done every month.
Do you think if I went a shade or 2 lighter with my colour it would make the grey root growth a bit less obvious? Trying to decide what to do next time I go and get it done (probably in about a month or so, before my son's christening)
?
