Has anyone tried going to a beauty supply store that sells to the public, like Sally's? They have a lot of products the hairdressers use.

Last year I decided to inbrace my inner senior self and start to let the gray come out. I had been coloring at home with Nice N Easy in a medium auburn brown and was having to do every 4 weeks to cover the roots. I started to use Natural Instincts that washed out gradually in a light auburn and then changed to light reddish blond and fianlly just stopped coloring. My hair is short so grow out did not take too long. I now use Shikai Color Reflects shampoo and conditioner. It takes the yellow color out of the gray and gives it a prettier silver color. I am so glad I am not having to color my hair all the time and so loving my freedom.

I am not real sure but at sally's you need a cosmetology license to get hair color products other items you can buy with out a license maybe just in my state PA and the rules could have changed,i stoped coloring my hair years ago i still don't like the gray but was getting to be a pain coloring every 4 wks my hair grows like a weed.

For those that have white or silver color hair - no matter your age - I think it is stunningly attractive!

I think it is a travesty to color it.

I've been letting my gray grow out. I've been coloring at home for over 35 years! (started graying at 18!) I got some stuff at Sally's called "Color Fix", to remove as much of the old color as possible. It's a little hard to use all by yourself. It did lighten my dark hair and helped it blend in with the gray on top. I need to do it again to get some more color out. It doesn't remove it all at one time.

I am getting impatient with the skunk look... cant wait to just be all gray and FREE! Gray is very trendy... I've heard that even some young ladies are coloring their hair gray now.

I greyed very early, it runs in my family. Colored it for years but it got to the point I couldn't keep up w/ the roots w/I a week of coloring the roots were showing bright. So I let it go natural a few years ago (started about 4 years ago now) my hair is just longer then shoulder length and I did it the hard way let it grow, took 2 years to finally get the line grown out enough to cut w/o going too short. A work mate of mine even younger then me (in her 20's) liked the look of my grey so much she let hers go grey also (she is nearly completely white) she did hers w/ a beautician. It took her only about a year w/ multiple procedures of bleaching, and frosting and I don't know what all. Her's looked better through the whole process. Now we both use the purple shampoo from the Beauty supply store, it doesn't "color" it just hides the "yellow" tint. I like my hair so much better now then when I was constantly coloring it. I get a lot more compliments on the color now too. And hers is stunning, but she is a beautiful girl, would look great even if her head was shaved.

my hair has gone white in the front since my picture was taken. the back is now light blond. I have a spot on the top of my head, my dh calls a yarmulke spot. I cover that about every 6 weeks, so it all blends in and looks more natural. it coast me $2.97 at Walmart. goes on the top spot and everything looks great. People and stylists ask who did it that way. it looks so good. I know, i need a camera to take a new picture in my profile and avatar.

After some medical issues my hair went completely white. (Being told you are going to die did scare the color out of me) The white hair was pretty but I just felt old with it. My daughter found some wash away color in lavender. I LOVE IT. It is very light. It took a lot of courage for me to do it because it is very "out of my box". It is not an "in your face" purple--just a gentle lavender. I get lots of good comments on it.

Naturally I am a redhead, but have had blonde highlights for the last 30 years, I go to Sally and but Swarzcopf 12.4 and the appropriate creme peroxide to mix it. That was what the salon used when I went to the salon, got some grey in there now but it still looks like a good colour mix and it's not a flat all over colour.

We have a place here called Ulta that sells hair products. They sell the same brands as Walmart for twice the price.
