From red to blonde (covering grey)

 

I have a complicated question, I think, and hope someone here can help. Thanks in advance!

 

My natural hair color is dark ash blonde (= dishwater yuck) and I have been coloring it light auburn for many years. Due to my skin tone and the fact that the light auburn approx. matched my natural hair shade, everyone thought it was natural (even when I could clearly notice roots!)

 

Anyway, now I'm starting to go quite grey and I notice my silver hairs reflecting light within a few weeks following coloring- eek! That does NOT look natural. I thought if I went blonde it would "hide" the grey better between colorings.

 

What do you think? Would that be a good solution or should I just color my roots every few weeks? If going blonde is the best solution, what would be the best course of action?

 

Thanks so much!

 

P.S. I use Loreal Excellence Creme 6R, Light Auburn.  

 

I think silver stands out against dark much more than dark stands out against blonde, so I agree that it's a good option. I've heard reds are the hardest to take out though, so you may want to do some research on that first or go to a good salon. Also, you may need to get a bit of a cut to remove the most dyed areas of your hair.

 

Good luck, being blonde is fun and you will love it!

And have a great vacation!
