Thanks! No, I don't have to lighten it first. That would be way to damaging to do all of the time. My hair is on the dry side. The highlights I had for summer, pick up the darker color though, to have the variation.

Actually I agree with another reader..the cost, the smell of the chemical and what they do to my scalp
causing sores on my head was the reason I quit coloring my hair..
I have been blonde from a great salon and I have had what they called frosted hair from a great salon
and I used to color it myself..
These days people are going grey and not ashamed of it..
I also notice that if you wear some lipstick in a rose or pink color
and some beige or mauve eye shadow with top eye liner
it gives your face some color and contrast as you grey..
My thoughts are that anyone over 50 that has really dark hair
it shows up the wrinkles
in their face and neck..
you do not see the grey in this photo ..a selfie I took recently
but in the sunlight or under lights it is grey...
I am 62 years old and this is a photo taken by me this year..

Nor would it go well with my fair skin & freckles. LOL!

YUP! My hair appointments are every 5 weeks! I am grateful I can trade for them, or I wouldn't be able to afford it. My hairdresser turned friend, comes for her massage once a month.

I had worn my hair gray for several years. Last week, I had some highlights and low lights put in. My hair was a pretty silver color with some dark strand, maybe almost black in it.
I wanted the salt and pepper look. I found a picture and took it with me The beautician said it would be too stark a change I wanted her to do some lowlights, blending with some of the dark already in my hair and let my silver be the highlights. Instead, I got some blonde highlights and the dark turned out with a reddish look. I wish I had left it alone. The good thing is it is very subtle and a lot of folks haven't even noticed. She is going to get chance to cut it a lot now. :nod:
