[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get semi permanent at a salon. My hair is medium brown. I don’t have much gray though. Maybe 5% or less. In my color hair, the color fades away from the gray hairs Ian’s turns into a dark blonde- so new growth isn’t as stark against my darker brown hair. If you have a lot of gray, you may not like the color it fades to. [/quote] Thank you, That is my fear. My hair is much whiter/gray in the front, and I see things about how you should "take the yellow out!" at the same time I am trying to make it look blonde to blend as highlights with the browner base.[/quote] I think I'd be okay with it fading, esp if it's not going to fry my hair to do it again. I just don't want the same distinct roots (really, I'd love NO roots!) I had with permanent color. I'd much rather do it every 2 weeks because it's fading than every 2 weeks because the contrast between what is dyed and the new growth is so stark.[/quote] Semi permanent is so easy to DIY. Apply to the new growth/roots only for the recommended processing time. Then apply to the rest of the hair for another 5-10 minutes. This should blend the grays in enough so that they aren't as noticeable. My hair is ~ a level 2/3 dark brown, and I apply a level 5 ash demi-permanent to the roots to blend in the grays. Does a pretty good job and doesn't leave a harsh line of demarcation. I'm only ~10-20% gray though. I will likely have to rethink my strategy when its a higher %.[/quote] Thank you! How long does it take to fade? Would I be able to go back to "growing my hair out" if I wanted to, do you think (I would like to see how I like it but am afraid of erasing my progress). I wonder what it will cover - again, even hiding just 25-50% of what I have would be totally fine for me. [/quote] That’s the thing...I don’t think it totally fades out- meaning back to gray with zero trace of dye. You may be left with light yellow hair if you just let it go [/quote]
