I’m thinking of having a go at home hair colouring. I’m about 50/50 grey/dark brown. I want to keep the dark brown but highlight the grey - maybe make it golden brown or similar.
Can anybody recommend any colourants that will alter the grey but leave the dark colour as it is?
I’m a novice at this - never coloured my hair since I tried henna when I was 20!!
I use Colour Effects by Superdrug. It only costs a pound and is semi permanent. I don’t have a lot of grey in my medium brown hair, - its kind of in patches - but what I discovered is that this stuff highlights the grey to look like golden brown highlights, while darkening the rest of my hair to a reddish brown (because the colour I choose is 6.4 Rich Red). I’m sure it would do the same if you wanted more of a warmer brown for yourself. It washes out in about 8 washes, so you can change if you don’t like it. 
I have no idea about color Carol - sorry. Please post the end results
I might be completely white by then. 
Just thinking about it and gathering information at the mo…
I am not an expert either but you have to be careful with grey in case it turns out ginger.
Hi
You look lovely as you are.
I was thinking about a home colour too Carol but like you I’m a bit scared to try and there are so many products available… its very confusing…I might try a semi permanent as Pixie suggested then at least if I don’t like it it will wash out…eventually.
Good luck let’s know how you get on
I quite often use Belle Colour in one of their blonde/brown shades. My hair’s grey now and for a few weeks it looks really good - a golden light brown. I find however that these colours just seem to slide off my hair after a few washes and after a month there’s nothing to see. Perhaps I could try a different make. They do give my hair a lovely shine though, which conditioner never does.
Aw thanks swimmy.
I may try Pixies suggestion too.
I’m also afraid the grey will turn ginger as Muddy pointed out. What a mess that would look|!
Hmmm - dare I - dare I not…
Until 4 years ago I always coloured my hair in later years I let my hairdresser do it
I’ve been pink
I’ve been red
I’ve been multi coloured
I’ve been blonde
I’ve been tinted slate grey
Then decided I just wanted to try being me and it now a nice silver grey with natural white highlights .
Go ahead Carol it’s an adventure .
Hi
Ladies please grow old gracefully.
You remain good looking and very sexy.
Grey hair and lines are fine.
Botox and lip fillers are not.
Carol, I just had a thought…why not just dye a tiny bit of your hair to see how it looks. A finger width, maybe? I haven’t done this myself mind you, and it does sound a bit fiddly now I write it, but your hair is long enough to try, and you could always tuck it away until it washes out if you don’t like it
Carol, Worse, using anything with red in it. The grey or any white could go pink. Get a colour that states …Covers grey.
Do an allergy test first too.
I’ve never dyed my hair in my life, I’m one of the “grow old gracefully” brigade! 
Lacking in lines too!
I dont know about grey coverage but ive been using nice and easy hair colourant for many years and I’m always happy with the results. I decided to have a salon colour before christmas and it cost me £68! I hate it and I’m off bock to my trusty old £6 bottle of nice and easy.
I found this link for you carol , hope it helps
