Hello,
I am 58 years old with dyed red hair and am now thinking of going grey naturally. I have medium tone skin and dark brown eyes. Will this be an easy transition?
Thank you, Anon, UK
If you have been thinking about going grey for a while, then I say give it a try! However it isn't as simple as applying a grey toned hair dye over your current red shade.
It will take some time and quite a bit of patience to achieve your goal. What I would advise you to do is, grow out your colour so you have around an inch of natural regrowth. Then I would assess whether we could go in and lighten the red colour in key areas and tone down the rest. This creates a colour that can grow out easier and makes the transition to your natural grey simpler.
Go have a few consultations with colour specialists in your area who are confident in big colour changes, they will be able to give you a sensible action plan.
