I colored my hair to cover the grey for many years. It was costly to say the least but I just felt better not having grey hair. So before I retired I decided I had to stop paying big bucks every 6 weeks and doing it at home is just not for me. Moving also meant not having my ususal hairdresser either who I trusted so much to make me look my best. My wonderful hairdresser, Mitch Eubanks of Mitchell Wade Salon in Oveido, Fl said he would assist me in letting it go natural without having the awful look you get when it grows out. So with his color magic he highlighted and lightened my hair until it was grown out. Honestly I like it more than I ever imagined and love not having to run out for color every 6 weeks.
