Hair coloring tips??mom w/ gray!?

i was told once by the lady who use to cut my hair to only dye your hair 1-2 shades differnt from the natural color. my hair is a dark brown. i think it's call dark chestnut!? what is 1-2 shades lighter to this? don't want to many dark roots when it starts to grow out. %26amp; what is a good brand that covers gray but will not kill my hair? thanks. :)Hair coloring tips??mom w/ gray!?
well i think i can help, i color hair for just about everyone i know including my mom who has grey too so my suggestion is to use a good cream coloring with conditioner. Loreal is a good one but you have to get the kind that says works good on grey! the cheaper brands won't give you the results you want and usually dont have good conditioner so go for a higher up brand and price. look at the box and look at the back, this will show you approxitmatly what color your hair will turn out when done. but keep in mind that everyones hair colors differently so you have to kindof experiment at first. get a color that isn't permanent if your not sure that its what you want. then follow the directions as to the timing because from experience coloring grey can be hard. 45 minutes is usually how long you will want to keep it in for better results. as for a shade if you want to keep your color more like it is now just find the one it matches best it really isn't bad if you don't get it right on because you can surprise yourself and find you actually like a different color, believe me i've had all kinds of different color hair and i've liked most od them!! GOOD LUCK!!Hair coloring tips??mom w/ gray!?
I think the semi permanent colors are healthiest for your hair and more pleasant to use.ie Natural Instincts





Decide if your color is more golden or ash then look at boxes in that family one shade lighter (usually the number on the boxes get smaller).





Have fun with it. You can always change it next time.
