Are your roots completely grey? If the grey is interspersed with your natural colour, I think you will probably have to bleach to get to the colour of the rest of your hair. I'm definitely not an expert, though.
I don't have any experience with colouring completely grey hair. I hope someone with knowledge in this area will see your post and have some suggestions for you. In the meantime, this article on covering grey might be helpful -- http://www.behindthechair.com/displayarticle.aspx?ID=604&ITID=2

I had to use permanent hair color to cover my gray, as semipermanent didn't take without processing. It sounds exactly like what's happened with your hair.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

Is the color your applying covering the rest of your hair nicely?(the hair that was bleached>?)
If it is just the new growth that isn't accepting the color...and you have quite a bit of gray...it could just be te formula. Most likely the Strawberry Blonde color is made for hair that has pigment...not gray or white hair. If you have over 50% gray (all over or maybe spots that are mostly gray)up to half of the formula needs to be a natural or neutral color. I don't know what color that would be in Clairol. You could call their Hot Line.
