Does anyone have some tips on hair coloring?

I have naturally dark brown ( almost black ) hair that's about 30% grey. I have been coloring over the grey for many years. Is there any good way to let the grey come in gracefully? I tried having it highlighted to transition the grey in but I thought it just made me look like a calico cat. The espresso brown I use now is pretty, but someday I'll just end up looking like an old lady who dyes her hair.

The one thing you might think about is going to a slightly lighter color. Each time you color your hair, go slightly lighter. This will gradually bring your color closer to the (gray) lighter color you have coming in. Also, a lighter color softens your face as you do grow older. It doesn't look as harsh.

The trick I've heard of is, as you age, go to a slightly lighter shade. My daughter, a hairdresser, estimates that I'm about 70% or more gray. We both think gray will only leave me with a washed out appearance. I think dyed hair can be attractive as long as the color is suitable and the cut is complementary.

First of all I would sug. going to a salon. Do not attempt box colors on your own.

Second explain to a prof. what it is your trying to achive.

Third of all Get hilites and lowlites. By this I mean one lighter color and one that matches closer to your natural. Have the prof. hilite with a level that isnt too dramatically lighter than natural color. For instance dont use platnum blonde if your hair is black.

Alternate hilite weave, leave natural, and lowlite weave on entire head. A weave is when the hair section to be foiled is broken up not solid. To do this you use a pintail comb and just catch small pieces of the hair to be colored in a catch leave patern. Good luck!
