I hated that & have dyed it since it got to the stripey part..

I had to have mine cut off shorter too, it fell out in handfuls.
Since I've had it done it doesn't fall out as much, though my hair is very fine.

Re: Keeping grey hair bright?

I love my grey and it’s staying

Unfortunately it’s very porous and takes colour on from impurities in the air, when I worked in kitchens it would get a yellow tinge from the fat in the air

I don’t have a Sally’s near so that’s why I was asking if anyone had any recommendations themselves

Re: Keeping grey hair bright?

An outlet that supplies hairdressers Mups ( Post #2 by Julie).
Never heard of it myself either.

I haven't been to a hairdressers since 1989.
I've never dyed or tinted my hair and wouldn't have a clue how to do it.
I do despair of my hair a bit now it's going grey. I don't mind the grey, or wont when it's all over ..

I sometimes get women coming up, touching my hair and telling me I'm very brave.
I never know quite how to take that.

It's thick, long and bushy and when I give it a good brush it fluffs up and stands out like wire wool or I've just stuck my fingers in a live socket.

Thanks Mort, I had missed post 2.

You make your mop sound charming.

Sounds like you need moisture, I like to put coconut oil on my frizzy curly mop each week, sleep in it and wash out next morning, makes a huge difference.

But if you sleep in it, doesn't it stain your pillow, or do you wrap your hair up first?

I braid my hair and wrap it in an old t shirt. Actually that's a point I never use a towelling towel on my hair always wrap it in old tshirts, or it goes really wiry. Towelling is death to bright curly hair.

I have to braid mine to sleep anyway or I wake up with so many knots I may as well just give up the morning to teasing them out.

This is me too Mine is not so grey that is shows much but nearly down to my waist and curly/frizzy. I use gallons of serum on it and it's always plaited, even straight after washing.

Maybe when it's long enough to sit on I might get it chopped....if it doesn't fall out before then

More like Medusa if I put a hairdryer on it.

It gets washed and braided and once those braids are brushed out it goes ballistic.
