Hi there,
I dye my hair at home, from a light brown to dark blonde. I've always liked the result at home better than what I get at the hairdresser's (and I've tried many hairdressers, never happy with it and it costs a bomb). Home hair dyes are so good these days especially if you're staying within a few shades of your natural color, like me.
Anyway, I was aware that I had a few grays. No problem....the dye will take care of it.
Except. I was recently under bright lights in the Macy's changing rooms, and I saw a slew of gray hairs, but I only colored my hair about three weeks ago, definitely not enough time for much root re-growth, so way before I'd usually re-color, and yet the dye had obviousy worn off the grays.
And this isn't the first time I've noticed the silvery strands showing through approx three weeks after dying.
I don't feel good about this - I don't mind having gray hairs, but I do mind being unable to adequately cover them when I want to. After all, I'm only going to get more gray. (All power to those who proudly let their gray show, but personally it's not for me - I've always loved dark blonde hair.)
I used L'Oreal Preference.
My question is, can anyone recommend a hair dye that actually covers the gray for more than three weeks? It seems really crappy for the dye to wear off so quickly.
Thanks.
