Do not rub the dye into your scalp and do start with your roots and leave it on for the entire time plus the specified extra for gray.

Ok I was just trying to make sure I got all the hairs. I know I'm making it seem complicated! Just a total newbie at this!

I use Garnier Nutrisse and really like the non-chemical smell and the solution itself.

I'm sure that everyone has their own preference though. Good Luck with your inaugural try at it though!

That is my favorite!

I know but it will dye your scalp and nothing screams home hair job/fake hair color like color matched scalp. I am sure there are other reasons (ie skin absorption) but that is the main reason I am super careful not to get it on skin (directions also mention not coloring the scalp.) If I am worried about getting it evenly distributed I wil comb the dye through....

Gray always takes the longest to cover. Usually it will say in the directions something to the effect: for resistant gray, leave on x minutes more. I always do this as all my gray hair appears to be resistant! I used the Loreal & Clairol for years & just switched to a pro color from Sally Beauty. It is lasting longer & covering better for me.

Thank goodness my scalp did not get colored!! Geez I didn't know this. Ok I will use the comb next time. I'm going to go down to a 5N and buy garnier , loreal. If I don't get better results then I will spend the extra on john freida. I know its going to be a process finding the right color and technique! I am very thankful for all of the comments .

A neutral color will cover grays better than a warm or an ash. Always leave on the roots longer for resistant grays. It should only be left on the length for 5 - 10 minutes (it depends on the brand). I always use the entire bottle regardless of the length of my hair. That way I know its saturated.
