Help.....I'm determined to let my hair return to its natural color, but each time the roots begin to show it looks so hideous I color it again.
Any suggestions for how I can make this process a little easier without hiding in the closet for a year so noone will see me????
Thanks.

Hi Ray:
You didn't say what tinted color you have. I will assume it is a medium brown color. You also didn't mention if you have your color done by a professional or you do it yourself. Lets look at a few of the options to get you where you want to be.
Assuming you are coloring yourself with a medium brown color
l. The next time yoe tint choose 1 shade lighter than the one you have been using.
2. Only apply the haircolor on the grey hair. DO NOT GET ANY OF THE COLOR ON THE ALREADY COLORED HAIR.
3. This means do not pull thru the color onto the ends of the already colored hair.
Option 2
Go to the salon and explain that you are wanting to go llighter eventually all the way to grey. They can:
1. Use a color remover and tint to a lighter shade of blonde
2. Do like I said above start going gradually and tinting lighter.
3. Folow the the tinting lighter with a cap highlight
giving you very light highlights so that when you keep going lighter no-one will really notice the grey.
Good luck, Forest
