How have you touched up gray roots without getting a darker overlay? Also has anyone had issues with hair turning green or orange? Thank You!

I used the Dark Brown and my gray hairs did turn green at first, but after a few days they got darker (I did apply some pure henna the next day but only for 10 mins as I didn't have time for more). Apparently the henna takes longer to activate than the indigo in the mix, so that is why the initial green hairs. My greys are still lighter than the rest of my hair, but much less noticeable, and my hair did keep its natural color (dark brown). They do say that the best is to do a two step: first only henna, then the color you want: this is found in the Henna Maiden website.

My roots didn't respond well to the henna. Gray turned a bit orangey. I loved the conditioning the henna gave to my hair, however, I'd have to maybe get tips on how to get better coloring for my gray

Unsure on the overlay, but have not heard of or seen anybody use this getting orange or green hair. Did you try using anoth product before this? That may have something to do with the green/orange.

Was wondering how you pick the developer? My mom had her hair colored at a salon here, and wants to do her own at home. So I got the color but I dont know what kind of developer to buy. She is all grey

I find that with one application it turns out fine. But layering it on tends to turn out more orange. It also may depend on your skin tone if you're fairer the dark one may turn out more orange, I would go for the medium color if that's the case.

I have not had a problem with hair turning silver or grey. I only seems to keep the color from dulling.

I personally would rebleach my roots/ new growth....as for the rest of the hair (guessing your at the washed out blue stage) I would not rebleach and apply the purple over the blue those sections might be darker purple but should still look purple. Good luck!

I have a bit of gray. I used Henna for the first time and it covered everything beautifully. I'm a complete convert now. I have pretreated hair, years of dyeing. I'm not sure how well the Henna would grab a hold of untreated hair but for me, it's maintained it's color wonderfully. Can't recommend enough.

I have quite a bit of grey and it tends to take the color extremely well. You get a much more vivid color than even the bleached hair gets! Good luck.

There is a natural indigo dye you can use to make it darker. I found a lot of help on Youtube.

Grey is by nature very hard to color. I recommend a test strip, as you should do any time you try a new product. I can tell you that Splat colors do saturate very well, however they will become washed out looking within a few weeks, though they never actually come out all the way on bleached hair. For a good look you should plan to reapply every few weeks. If you are planning for something that will be fun for now and then wash out then do not use this! Again, it doesn't ever come all the way out. Hope this helps. FYI...I love the Splat beach for a very high lift. I haven't found its match in taking dark hair to light yellow blonde.

Mark you may be able to however not sure it would look very good / natural as an all over color - when I do my roots it covers however it's kinda dull. I would say get some and try it - it's not that expensive you may find it's just what you want - I have lots of hair and it's long so I wouldn't use it for all over color Terie

I tried the brown henna package. My hair is dark, and my roots are gray. For me, it made my roots a reddish/gold tint, which I don't like. I liked the conditioning aspect of it. Hope this helps

I have the same as you and age wise also. I have used this in the last and I liked it. It will make you light blonde not gray. I have naturally light hair before gray. Leave on longer for better gray coverage and if your non gray hair is not too dark.

I have straight fine mostly gray hair. My last dryer gave more volume but it was more frizzy. Now my hair has more shine. I get volume by lifting roots to dry then finishing with cool shot. Also, my daughter gave me Osis+ powder for Christmas. A very small amount rubbed just at the roots has worked wonders.

I don't have experience with black hair as mine is a redish blonde. I have always treated my entire head with special attention to application around the sides and sideburn area as this is where my gray hair shows more than on top. Once you apply the creme on a daily basis and your hair begins to lose the gray, I only apply a couple of times a week or sometimes less to allow some gray to mix in. I want to avoid the appearance of a "dye job". This product is a great way to keep the gray from taking over without totally eliminating the gray.

I've used it with the same results. I alwas preferred the light brown because, to me, it looked like my natural color and didn't look like you did anything to your hair at all. I think the new product can darken a bit more or I might be imagining it. Be careful "Touch of Gray" and "Just For Men" are two different products.

I did! I henna'd my hair for the first time, and a couple of weeks later realized it was way too dark for me so I tried a light brown permanent color and it worked fine.no problems whatsoever.
