That is what I use,and it has the highlights in the color.It gives your hair just a little dimension.

I wish I had a three way mirror in my bathroom that might have to be something to get when we paint and take that nasty looking wallpaper off the walls...LOL

Well folks, I just had to chime in- I am 66 and I am beginning to get a lot of silver in my very dark brown almost black hair- I do have much more dark than silver though. I don't use anything to cover it up and say "my hair was done by a Master it has God's natural hightlights". My daughter is a licensed beautician, and wanted me to cover up the gray when it first started showing up some. Knowing my allergies to so many things and never having used anything on my hair before, she suggested some coloring you can buy at the store - supposed to wash out if you don't like it, after about three washings if you used Prell shampoo. Well it didn't wash out, hair was stiff and felt like straw and the color was there for over six weeks - I wash my hair daily, after that I decided never again to put anything on it.
Donna you aren't old, just mature. Sometimes my bones tell me I am really mature lol.
