I've been dying my hair to cover gray using Revlon Colorsilk (very economical) because I fell out of favor with the beauty school who was doing it for the past year. I started with mahogany brown (a very dark brunette) because I was concerned something lighter wouldn't cover the gray. THen I went to an auburn, but it was too reddish, and still dark. This time I used medium golden brown, and it's better... but I really want to lighten it up, and don't want to do highlights.
I notice there's no peroxide in the developer or color. Do I pick a lighter color like light brown or ash blonde--something with peroxide that promises to lighten--or do I have to really strip it blonde then dye it a medium brown color. Or should I reconsider the highlight possibility. I had some done once by the beauty school, and they came out really well, just not sure if I can do it at home.
I need to color every 3 weeks or so because I have a lot of gray patches and my hair grows pretty fast.
