I have brown hair and it's becoming gray. Would this color the gray to a ash or blonde color?

I love this product. I my hair is very dark before the gray showed up. If you have light brown hair it might not work, but med to dark yes. Also I towel dry after i shampoo and while still in the shower I comb my hair back and with he'd tilted back, squirt the product over the hair roots in the fron and middle of the head and brush it thru. Do not rinse. I then I finish showering I wrap a towel over my hair and then style as usual.. Warning: keep an old towel just for this, towel will pick up the grey tones of the product.

My hair is salt & pepper with the front becoming more white. It makes the white more of a steal grey and blending in nicely with the salt and pepper.

If your hair is light brown with some gray in it, it will be more like bright red after the henna, I would mix some indigo in for deeper red...

Hello, No you may use this with brown hair. If you are looking for grey coverage then you will not be disappointed. I mix this with Nupur, Amla, and shikakai powder for a great condition for your hair. The amount depends on the length and thickness of your hair. To cover your grey at the same time mix 12 hours before with very warm water and a tablespoon of cider vinegar, just enough to make it thick like yogurt, this will release the dye an you will have wonderful results. Rinse your hair with cider vinegar before you apply this thick mixture. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap and leave on as long as you like. You will have a medium brown color once you are done. This will darken a touch in 2 to 4 days. I add in a couple tablespoons of Cinnamon 10 minutes before I put this in my hair. I hope this helps. =O)

There is not specific condition that goes with this. And yes- while I can't give you a 100% guarantee, it is a good bet that your hair will turn pink, as my light blonde hair did. Gray and blonde are similar in that they pick up color and "taint" easily (green after swimming in a pool, purple notes, etc.).

I dye my hair a dark brown and I use chocolate. It should work well for you. By the way, I love this stuff!

Nexxus simply silver works beautifully on the grey hair and helps to highlight the brownish hair. No need to worry, go for it. What I will recommend is that you do not leave in the shampoo too long. I usually apply and wash out immediately inorder not to have too blue a color. After few applications you will get the xesired effect.

It will probably darken it some; their is a light wax that Firehouse makes which is recommended for "blonde/gray/white colored hair." Although Firehouse recognizes that the light (color) wax isn't as strong as Wacky Tacky.

I can't help much - I mix it with a medium brown to make the mix more "ashy". I really doubt that it will do anything to lighten any color hair but that's just a guess. Sorry.

Not sure. I have eyebrows that are dark brown with a lot of gray in them and it works on me. But my hair is dyed dark brown so it matches the eyebrows.

I have used the dark brown coloring on my hair which is approximately 25-30% gray. It covers the gray thoroughly. I do leave the product on for 30 minutes, which is longer than the directions recommend. Even with leaving it on for that length of time, my hair is soft and undamaged by the coloring.

If you are dying your hair black just to do it black, use a different product. If you have gray hair you are trying to cover use a brown to light brown. Black is not natural to cover gray hair. It will not look natural and to stark. The use of a brown color because of the gray you will have the look of natural highlights when you cover the gray. I personally would not use a different dye product with this developer.

It depends on what shade of gray it is...if its on the yellow side, this might help you. If its anything else it will probably turn your hair a blue shade. It will work best on yellow-white hair to turn it more white. (Quick color theory lesson/ how this product works: purple is the compliment of yellow & therefore lessens the appearance of yellow. 50%purple + 50% yellow = gray, therefore If you don't have yellow hair, it will simply turn it purple.)

Honestly, with your blonde hair I think the brunette would give you the dramatic look you're looking for because the brown/dark brown is really dark. I'm african american and I have it and it's really dark on me but because I like how it lasts I use it anyway and just fade in the color.

I'm not a professional, but I do use this color frequently. I don't think it would have any problem lightening medium ash brown hair. It's pretty strong. My natural color is dark blonde/light brown and my results are very similar to the photo on the box.

Brunette comes off quite dark on my hair, which is medium brown. It depends on the look you are trying to achieve. If you prefer the dark-roots look, then get brunette. If you want seamless color between your hair color and the root powder, go a shade up.

I'm sure it won't do anything for brown. This shampoo just brightens non-pigmented hair. It does say that it will brighten grey hair, so I imagine it would make it silvery. If your hair is grey and brown mixed, it would probably work with the grey only.

​Different hair colors are the result of different amounts of melanin​--dark brown or black hair simply has more melanin than light brown or blond hair. In time, as melanin decreases, gray hair appears. ​​Grecian works with the hair's natural chemistry to produce a similar-acting pigment where the melanin used to be.​​Grecian works for any color hair because you control the process so you determine when you regain your right color.http://grecian-formula.com/faq.php
