What is a good hair dye that will completely cover gray? I've been using Nice n Easy which I like alot but a week after I dye my hair the gray pops out all over again. I would at least like to have the color last for a month but that damn gray keeps popping up. Is there another brand that will last longer??

Go to Sally's and get Clairol Grey Busters. It is with the regular Clariol colors. My MIL is completely grey and this has covered her much better than the other regular ones.

Try Nutrisse by Garnier (permanent color). It seems to last longer & cover grey much better than some of the others.

I've been using the Nutrisse by Garnier for over a year, but I am finding that the colour fades within 2-3 weeks on my grey hairs.

I use the darkest red brown colour and went to my hairdressers yesterday and he said that reds always fade quickest and better go with dark browns. He also said that L'Oreal elvive shampoo/conditioner for coloured hair was good to keep the colour for longer.

Hi..

I have color resistant white hair. I have tried many different "permanent" dyes, that covered my white hairs for all of a week, and then washed right out of the whites..

The product that I found that would last the longest on my whites is Herbal Essences. I have dark brown hair, and found that the reds or plums (I used Ruby Red and then tried Plush Plum) colored my whites very well.. The whites were still "tinged" with color after a month.

I found tho, that not all of the Herbal Essences dyes worked as well. The red/purples colored my whites and stayed.. I tried the brown family, to get back to my real haircolor, and the brown washed out after a week..

Hope this helps..

that's interesting that the reds stayed longer than the brown. I wonder if it is because there is henna in the red formula? Henna is pretty harsh but totally permanent and really can't be washed out (and if you keep coloring it, more henna pigment gets deposited so have to be careful to only do the new roots, but I guess that's true for all hair colors)

I just read this - if going grey in your 30's is a problem, get your thyroid function levels checked (a blood test), as hypothyroidism is something that can crop up in one's early to mid 30's for women and one of the side effects, besides unusual fatigue, is going grey prematurely

That depends on what you mean by "harsh." Henna coats your hair. If you have fine hair, that could be a problem,but for people with drie or curly hair, it's good. Grey hairs tend to be thick and coarse.

You can get henna in brown and black shades. It's recommended that people with grey hair do a treatment in red first and then the brown or black.

I have dark brown hair with no grey. When I use henna, I have to use pure red or it doesn't show up. It doesn't fade - it only grows out.

If you use henna on hair that has already been color-treated, the results are unpredictable. If you use it on hair that has been bleached, you will get a bright orange-red.
