[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I do this. What is your base color? That will help me in advising you. The key is to not thinking of it as covering grays -- semi-perm just doesn't cover that well and gray hair generally does not take dye very well, which is why if you do permanent color you usually need something formulated for gray hair. Instead, what you are looking for is a shift in tone. My hair is dark strawberry blonde. So I do glosses and semi-permanent dye in dark golden blonde usually, sometimes I go slightly redder or browner depending on the time of year. I like the Kristin Ess and Overtone glosses, and for semi-permanent color my go-to products are L'oreal or Garnier -- I think they have the most dynamic color for at-home dye, and that's what you want. Something that is going to tone and blend your grays into your natural color. But again, it really depends on your base. I think this works really well for blonde or light brown hair. I would have no idea how to approach very dark hair with grays and would assume you'd just have to do a permanent dye, but I honestly don't know.[/quote]
