[quote=Anonymous] I'm 44. I used to be a redhead but if I went natural now, I'd be at least 65% gray. It started happening around 38 and I swear every year it gets worse. At 40, it was every 7-8 weeks. Now it's every 6, at the least. In the last year, the grays have also started to "resist" the color, so I'm sitting in the chair way longer in order to get the same effect. I dye my hair red because I really just wanted to keep looking like myself. But I know that red hair dye fades pretty quickly (especially in the summer) and it would be easier if I decided to use brown instead.  Depending on how often I've washed it or how much I've been in the sun, sometimes I have to go every 5 weeks. But anyway, even going ever 5-6 weeks, I have gray roots. I have turned to a powder root coverup and I swear by it and I've recommended it to other friends and all of them like it. It's made by a company called "Color Wow." I first bought it from my hair salon but it's cheaper on Amazon. Maybe there are other powders/sprays that others can/have recommended. I've never tried anything else. I admit that I thought this was a complete waste of money when I bought it, but it really, really, really helps. It takes just a few seconds to apply and it stays on really well through brushing etc. Obviously, it washes out so you have to reapply. It's amazing how the basic colors are able to blend in enough to match lots of different shades. I guess it's just a trick of the eye, but I used to feel so bad about the gray roots and this stuff hides it well enough that honestly I don't think anyone but me notices them. After I ran out of my first purchase (which took FOREVER), I didn't immediately replace and an employee who didn't know I colored my hair made a remark to me about the gray roots. As in "oh, I'm so glad to see you have some gray hair too. You're older than me and I have more grays than you! Have you ever thought about dying your hair when they get bad enough?" It was hysterical. I'm like, "Girl. I've been doing that for 8 years!" I swear by the stuff. It's easy, it looks good enough, and it gets you through to your next coloring. I can't live without it now.[/quote]
