[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I will try the demi permanent and see how it goes!  My grays are “stragglers” so if I can cover even half of them I think I’ll be in good shape!  —Op[/quote]

This is the way. Trying to completely cover them is a mistake because there are only two ways to totally eradicate gray hair and both are not advisable to do at home:

- Dye your hair the same color as your natural color, using permanent dye, then adding highlights and low lights so the color isn't too flat and unnatural looking and it mask grays as they grow in (good for brunettes who don't want to go lighter)

- Two process bleach and tone, either highlights or full depending on how many grays you have (good for blondes or brunettes okay with going lighter)

These are both time consuming, difficult, and very pricy in this area. Total cost can vary because it depends on how often you need to touch it up, which depends on growth speed and your coloring and haircare habits and a few other things. But generally you are talking about a couple thousand dollars a year, minimum, to make this look really good.

12 boxes of demi permanent dye and some diligence with application (which gets easier and more effective with practice) is certainly worth a try!  I've been doing it for 3 years and very happy with results, I plan to keep it up until it starts looking questionable and then finally make the call on whether I want to upgrade to something more high maintenance or just go gray (I'm only 46, I'm just not ready yet).[/quote]
