Hair colour for grey hair

I'd say go for it phoenix!
I found my first grey hair aged 11 shock!
By 36 I was predominantly grey and kept up colouring it various shades from chestnut to bright red for many years. At 60 I decided to take the plunge and had a short crop to reveal the 'natural' silver grin
I'm also growing it long phoenix, and have just about got through the in-between stage.
I do occasionally think about colouring it again, but only a blonde. I've never thought the Dot Cotton look was an attractive one wink
For now though, I am enjoying my 'silver'. I think it suits me, and I get a lot of compliments on it - from friends of all ages smile
The great thing about hair is that it grows, so if you don't like it, it's not long until you can change it!

Having 2 hair problems at the moment! Hair was v. short, trying to grow it a bit longer, HATE the in between bit!

Would so much love to just let it go and see how it looked colour wise, (reckon it's probably around 70% grey? (not sure, got my first few grey greys around my early twenties shock legacy from my biological father)

Why hide your natural colour? Go for an up to the minute cut from a good stylist and it will look fabulous smile

I've always used Nice n Easy, it's a good price and effective.

I had my hair coloured for several years , then became slightly paranoid about roots and decided to go au naturelle ( or whatever ) Tis true it's not completely grey, but I don't regret it at all and my new hairdresser says he's 'loving the colour'

I think L'oreal excellence was voted the best for grey hair in a good housekeeping poll. I must try it, I have a grey streak that is starting to wander rather.

As far as I'm aware, Clinique don't do hair colourants...hmm

Hi,

I will recommend you to try the products of clinique. It's product are superior than any other brand in the market

I always use Superdrug basic, but I always use a colour at least one shade lighter than my natural colour so that the resulting colour is natural looking and doesn't kill my skin colour.

Can anyone recommend a hair dye for grey hair? I am 67 and have tried once or twice to colour my hair, but with mixed results. I can't afford salon prices.
Many thanks
