[quote=Anonymous]It may be that you have more gray at the temples than elsewhere on your head.  If you are using a blue, purple or ash base tone--especially in a lighter shade--it may not have enough warmth to fully cover your most gray areas even if it is the perfect shade for your natural non-gray color.  Also, the cooler undertones in every color formula (blue, purple, ash) tend to fade more quickly than the warmer tones, which is why so many blondes need to use blue-toned shampoo to keep their highlights from going brassy.  So, if the colorist is using a shade that is barely covering the heavy gray at your temples, a few weeks may be all it takes to strip it to the point where the gray shines through.

You might want to ask about using a warmer or slightly darker formula.  You could highlight over that to look lighter or cooler overall.  You might also need to go for touchups more often or use some sort of toner at home in between visits.  Most women I know need to color their gray at least every three weeks.

Another possibility is that something you are using on your face is bleaching it.  Do you use benzoyl peroxide products like proactive?[/quote]
