Shall I stop dyeing...what to do

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have hazel eyes and a fairly warm skin colour, my hair did have warm tints with the sun which suited me. Awful photo attached.

The trouble is my hair is now dyed darkish brown, and I do not want to cut it all off. Recently I did the roots with a permanent Nice N Easy light caramel brown shade 6W, which on the grey has come out a lightish warm brown. After doing roots I applied to rest of head a bit later.

I believe I cannot lighten my hair now unless I use bleach or a hair colour remover, neither of which I fancy trying.

I think I will just keep touching up the roots with a light brown or even dark blond. Susy thanks I will try the semi next time.

I think honey blond highlights might look nice, but I do not want the expense of maintenance.

I became allergic to hair dye so had to move to highlights where the dye doesn't touch the scalp. I am now a salt and pepper grey which I dont like.

I was wondering if anyone with grey hair had used semi-permanent colouring, and if this works on grey hair. I don't want to end up orange. Also I usually wash my hair every day so how long would it last?

Framilode I hunted high and low looking fir semi permanent colour. Clairol do a limited colour range which wash out gradually over 28 washes. I have grey/white hair/ light blond and was having it highlighted / coloured regularly.
The Clairol semipermanent range is limited. I decided against the 9 blond,( the higher the number the lighter the colour and this is used on all brands so makes choosing easier). I got the next lightest colour which is medium blond which I have now used twice, it covered my grey, and gradually washes out. It’s been a couple of months and it’s fading but no lines of regrowth.

Like some other GNs here, I gave up dyeing a few years ago. I hadn't seen my natural hair colour for years, and thus was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a light "honeyed" grey colour. (My roots didn't indicate the "true" colour.) Since it grew out, I've had lots of compliments on my new shade!

I should have added that naturally, I was once a brunette.

Started going grey in my late 20s and spent a fortune dyeing it professionally. When I was 50 It was every few weeks it needed colouring so just decided to bite the bullet and go grey. Hairdressing costs nowadays are cut and blow dry only. Hairdresser said my natural grey colour is lovely - it saves loads that is for sure.

If you are in the UK by a hair dye remover one such as Provoke. B&M sell it it’s not expensive and it’s gentle but always do a skin test. Follow the instructions you will notice the colour reducing straight away it depends on how porous you hair is. It won’t completely take the colour out as it’s not a harsh product. As they were years ago in the hairdressers but it’s worth a try.

I have dark brown hair and I wouldn't say it's too dark and makes me look older (even though dark colors really can have this effect). You can stop dyeing if you feel like doing so, or maybe change the color and go for something lighter. When I was looking for a new color, I recolored my hair in photos via Photodiva to see what will suit me, you can try it, too.

I had very dark hair and very pale skin. It started to go grey rather patchily, which I didn’t much like, so had different colours of highlights to blend the grey growth in. It hasn’t been cut or coloured for a year now and it looks good, it’s in wonderful condition. I am looking forward to having it cut though, I mostly pin it up at the moment. A chin length layered bob is flattering to most faces and more importantly (from my point of view) is very easy to look after.
