Q. How do I go grey gracefully? I'm dying my hair with semi-permanent for now. I really do not want to use permanent as I would eventually want to stay grey. How do I make that transition? Also, is there a product that I can use myself to dye the grey out of my eyebrows?
Stephen Russel: Unfortunately there is no way to go grey gracefully. The growing out stage is very difficult. This whole process can take up to a year to a year and a half depending on the length. If this process is wanted, you must be willing to wait and grow it out.
Eyebrows: I would hope you allow a professional to do because of the element of blindness that can be caused by this product. When working around the eyes it is important to be very careful.
Q. I am a natural redhead with lots of grey hair I would like to know what would be the best colour for my hair?
SR: Natural redhead colours are usually in the levels between 5 to 8. Colours in this range would be light copper brown 5.4 to light copper blonde 8.4, with a full range in between depending on secondary shading. Secondary shading could be red, copper, copper brown, intense copper, very light copper or blonde. As a rule of thumb, it is important to always pick a desired level to strive for. Also mix natural shading to cover grey plus secondary tone for your copper shade.
