If you want brighter grays use a purple tinted conditioner. It will tone the to a bright white. I color my own hair, bleaching the roots and coloring it whatever color catches my eye that week/month currently its purple and pink.

Can you link me a to a product please? So I don't have to strip my hair first? Just apply the toned conditioner to make it more silvery? :D I remember my sweet little grandmother had beautiful hair and she applied a rinse that was bright purple. It didn't make her hair purple or blue, but it was a beautiful silver as I recall. I look like her and our coloring is similar!

I really like Kristen Ess’ purple Shampoo, you can get it at target.

Ok, I'm old, cheap, and broke. No way can I afford to pay to have my hair colored--especially when I would need touch-ups every 4-6 weeks! Eeek!

Do any of you color your own hair? If so, which brands of color do you like the best? Which look the most natural?

I have a significant amount of grey. I know grey is in, but my grey just looks kinda drab. So the question is, do I emphasize it's pop and bleach it lighter then do that grey toner thing? And really make it pop? Or do I try to cover it? I'm maybe 25-40% grey? Hard for me to be objective and estimate it. (I know I don't want to look like I just poured a bottle of jet black over my head and look like Roy Orbison...)

Ok shoot with your best stuff!

Jesus the topic of this had me concerned... You mean Dyeing LOL I was like... OMG WTF is going on?

Depending on the length of your hair you might get more value going to like sally beauty and buying your color and developer separately. Box dyes are one and done and sometimes pretty hard on hair. But if you buy the professional color and developer individually, you can mix as much or as little as you need each time.

They also have fantasy colors which is what I prefer.

Cibu platinum is by far the best purple Shampoo I’ve ever seen or used (I’m a hairstylist). Be careful with purple shampoos and conditioners though because if you leave them on longer than suggested you end up with lavender.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
