Hiding Your Gray in Your Hair

[Jodi1980]

I looked at 'Loving Care Color Creme' today at Walmart which covers your gray hair - has anyone ever used it? I don't want to make it obvious that I used any color and how do I know that it won't??

This coloring business is one that I leave to a professional. It's one way I treat myself. It costs $35.00 and is good for 3 months. I figure that's $1.00 a day to look my best. Maybe for the first time, you should try a salon and learn their tricks.

3 months?!! You're doing great Sheree!
Start with a semi-permanent color. Pick a color that isn't too dark. It should wash out instead of grow out with roots. You don't want roots before you have to have roots!! LOL Most color lasts between 4 and 8 weeks tops. 3 months is something else! I wouldn't expect that but you may get lucky. Hair generally grows a half an inch a month so right there your going to have some grays that have grown in. Good luck!

PS I recommend a professional too but I know many women who color their own hair and it looks very good.

I tried it once and I couldn't tell the difference from any other hair color. Could have just been me though. I am giving up coloring and going gray!!!

I have no gray. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I don't have any gray in my hair, but I have used Loving Care many times for different costumes I've been in. If you are looking to do something to your hair that lasts longer than a week then Loving Care is not for you. It really only does last about 4-8 days for me (long hair and I shampoo twice) and it fades rather quickly. One of the Casting type colors are much better. They are semi-perm and will last up to a month or so. I usually color my hair myself, but I'm a brave soul and I've had good luck in general. I recently tried L'Oreal Paris' brand of casting colors and it did a good job and gave me a fairly true coloring to what the box showed. I do say though if you are wary in the slightest, go to a professional, they'll be sure to give you exactly what you want and make it look great too

LOL Buck! THat was my first thougt!! Sheree Im assumming you dont go to different from your natural.
Hair grows about 1/4 to 1/2 inch a month so it all depends on how much grey you have and how different light or dark you go from your natural. I usually recomend for one process color to be touched up every 4 to 6 weeks.
