[quote=Anonymous]I have similar coloring, dark brown hair when I was younger and pale skin tone. I am also 42 but my grays started coming in in my late 20s. For many years I covered them at an Aveda salon and it was terrific. But given how dark my hair was as the %age of grays increased it showed quickly when it grew in.

A few years ago I died my hair a dark blonde at the salon which was achieved with bleach lifting the darker die. It "sort of" worked. On the one hand you are right that the grays growing in will blend better with lighter color hair and you can extend the time between color appts. But the color my stylist achieved was too brassy; despite a few attempts it was not quite the right color for my skin tone; I think bc the dark color that had been lifted left an orange tinge.  I have now grown out my gray -- in part with the thought that I might die it blond from a "clean" palette.

My advice: defin. go to the salon dont do it at home. Have them lift as much of the dark color that they can. Tell them you want to avoid brassy undertones with will clash with a pale skin-tone.

Good luck![/quote]
