My hair is a lot like yours, not totally gray but mixed, mostly at the hairline. I did get very nice results with this product, although I must say I didn't examine with a microscope. The color was really soft and natural and the hair felt beautifully conditioned when I was done. If any few grays were stubbon they must have blended in because I didn't see any. Wish this was still being produced. If you have a chance to grab a box, go for it. I was in the process of shifting from red back to blonde when I used it and was very very happy with the results.

Yes it covers my grey hair. The hair on top of my head is mostly grey and after using the Red Henna, the result is a very vibrant redheaded color.

I have red hair and gray around hair line. I used this and it made my roots look strawberry blonde (I used the dark red cream) I dyed it the 1st time left it on 45 min and my roots were brassy orange and the next time I left on for an hour and a half and looked natural red

It depends upon what your natural color is. If it is far different at the roots, that part of your hair will be a different shade after you apply the 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.

No, this is not a hair filler. It only covers the existing gray hair, not the thinning spots.

Yes, my hair, especially outdoors, looks lavender on the grey strands of hair a few days after I have colored it. I used this product several times (about once every 10 days) before this happened. So, I don't know what caused it. I wondered if it was a particular shampoo that interacted with the color product? Anyway, I am still using it. It still looks better than grey and like my husband says, so many females are putting unnatural colors in their hair, anyway! lol

not enough for totally gray. I would get the spray on color. It totally covers and washes out. I can't remember the name but most salons carry those spray on colors

Yes, I have 'old' grey hair. I'm African Amercan w/natural hair. Since using this shampoo, I've noticed my roots in the crown seem to be darker. I had considerable hair loss due to a medical issue (thyroid) and dermatologist instructed me to stop relaxing, coloring and using heat. Hair was breaking/shedding and very brittle prior to using this shampoo. I'm very pleased with the results--hair is much healthier and manageable. It's very concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

Yes, you can but you may not want to. If you apply to a small area, be sure to use a comb or brush to blend in to the surrounding area or else it would look like a patch of dark surrounded by lighter color hair. I assume that you are trying to cover the roots that are much lighter. If you want to go that route, Clairol produce a hair dye called (if I remember correctly) Root Rescue for ladies which comes with a brush applicator. My wife uses it and it seems to work ok. Still, getting the right shade to blend is tricky and requires a bit of trial and error. Good luck.

It works well and it is not too light. Its darker than a strawberry blonde. My hair is really fine and shorter than yours and I use half of a box each time. I would say a full box would be plenty for you. Here's a tip....when you mix it, let it sit for at least 90 minutes before putting it on your hair. Then you don't have to leave it on as long. I have lots of gray to cover so I leave it in about 45 mins after letting it sit for 90. Sorry I can't explain the color better....but I really like it.

I have colored gray hair, but not a lot of gray. I had professional color about a year ago and have been using Root Touch Up or a simiilar product (L'Oreal or Clairol, I switch off). The professional color was close to my own shade anyway, with some lighter highlights. Anyway, keratin is the vital ingredient here and it's all good. I haven't noticed any color alteration or any negative effect from the OGX treatment. If there is some subtle change I'm not aware of it, because having my hair feel so much better is what gets my attention. I don't think you'd have any problem. There may be a phone number on the directions inside that would be more specific. Personally, I feel very safe with it.

Mine is the same way. It does not affect the darker hair, only the gray. It keeps it shiny and you do not get the yellowing.

If this product were used on gray hair, there is a possibility it would turn white. It basically brings out a lighter version of the current color of your hair, and with different colored hair it can bring out different tints when lightened. Beware, if used on dyed hair it can cause unwanted results!

It covered my gray. It lasts as long as loving care did.....but that depends how often you wash your hair. I get rid of my gray every couple of months.

It darkened my pretty silver to a dull gray. That was mid-January. It's taken numerous washings to get my hair back to its normal color and it still has a bit to go. Hope this was helpful. This product did not work for me.

Hi, I don't know how long it takes to completely wash out but I retouch my roots with a temporary color after each shampoo with a different brand of course. So unless you are using it at each shampoo I believe your normal gray will return.
