I have been having having my hair professionally highlighted for about 9 years now. It is naturally dark brown and I usually have blonde and caramel highlights put in it. My hair is about shoulder length. It has been so long since I've done it last that the roots are now about 4 inches long and I have a lot of grey in it. I can't afford to have it professionally done right now, and I'd like to just do something it ot myself right now. I don't want the natural dark brown, I like it when it's lighter, but the ends are still blonde. Any suggestions of what to do with it?

BTW, I have very healthy hair even after all the highlighting, according to my hairstylist. Can't do Walmart highlighting kits, last one I did, it turned my hair orange bc they don't have enough peroxide in them. I guess what I'm really looking for is a specific color I could put on my hair that would make it even. I'm afraid with the dark brown and the blonde that one color will not even it out.

Thank you Chuck, that's exactly what I was asking. How to get the roots and the ends to be one color since they are so different.

you can buy some at the store but it usually doesnt turn out that good......you should just go to the beauty parlor and have it done......if the store stuff messes your hair up you will have to go to the hair salon anyway! so just save 20 bucks and skip the store stuff!!! hope this helps!

You can color it... But, it will all be one color.. Your question is a little confusing.. You can't color the new growth to make it lighter then the color it is now, only darker.. In other words, Don't go get a box of light brown hair color & put it on your dark brown/grey hair and expect to get the results on the box. Pick a color that is just one shade darker then your new growth but not lighter.. Apply the color to your new growth first. Wait 10 minutes then apply to your highlighted hair for a total of 20 more minutes. Rinse. Good luck!

I say dye it all your natural "ROOT" color. Leave your hair alone for about a month or so then highlight it or dye it the lighter color. Hair is tricky when your dealing with multiple colors and YOUR NOT A PROFESSIONAL!!

leave it alone. If God wanted you to have a different color, he would've made it like that

Don't color your hair. Are you not happy with yourself?
