I have the same as you and age wise also. I have used this in the last and I liked it. It will make you light blonde not gray. I have naturally light hair before gray. Leave on longer for better gray coverage and if your non gray hair is not too dark.

Personally, I wouldn't use it on 75% gray. It does cover gray, however it is a very strong dye.

Hello Suzie, My hair is about 60% gray and becomes frizzy when color burns it therefore that is why I use this Chromatics developer which is a conditioning developer. I use 9NW color to blend best with gray hair so the roots don't show immediately. I'm a blonde without bleaching thanks to REDKEN. I have salons trying to have me change to other products and it had been a long time before I found this product that works so great. I will never leave REDKEN again. YOu can view information on their website although if your not a professional you wont be able to purchase from them. I let my license expire so I buy from ebay and actually have found REDKEN is cheaper on ebay then anywhere else. Good Luck! hope this helps you!

I color my hair a dark brown so when it just starts to grow out it will cover it somewhat and usually give me a couple more weeks till I have to color again. But if your looking for it just to cover gray I don't think you would be happy.

If you are only going one shade difference from your natural hair, use 10 or 20%. If you have darker hair, or if you have a lot of gray hair (gray hair is very resistant to any processing) use 30% If your natural hair is really, really, dark, you would use 40% I would think a safe bet would be to buy 30%

Hello, No you may use this with brown hair. If you are looking for grey coverage then you will not be disappointed. I mix this with Nupur, Amla, and shikakai powder for a great condition for your hair. The amount depends on the length and thickness of your hair. To cover your grey at the same time mix 12 hours before with very warm water and a tablespoon of cider vinegar, just enough to make it thick like yogurt, this will release the dye an you will have wonderful results. Rinse your hair with cider vinegar before you apply this thick mixture. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap and leave on as long as you like. You will have a medium brown color once you are done. This will darken a touch in 2 to 4 days. I add in a couple tablespoons of Cinnamon 10 minutes before I put this in my hair. I hope this helps. =O)

I have colored gray hair, but not a lot of gray. I had professional color about a year ago and have been using Root Touch Up or a simiilar product (L'Oreal or Clairol, I switch off). The professional color was close to my own shade anyway, with some lighter highlights. Anyway, keratin is the vital ingredient here and it's all good. I haven't noticed any color alteration or any negative effect from the OGX treatment. If there is some subtle change I'm not aware of it, because having my hair feel so much better is what gets my attention. I don't think you'd have any problem. There may be a phone number on the directions inside that would be more specific. Personally, I feel very safe with it.

I'm sure your hair will go back to its natural color. I use this about once a week and since I'm allergic to every other dye, rinse, etc on the market, this is the only hair color I can use. I love it. I am a natural brunette in the old days and this product is great. It adds a lot of highlights to my hair and turns a lot of my gray blond making me look a whole lot younger.

I have greys (they're actually white) and have been using SE for 20 years. I've noticed that the whites don't hold onto the color as well as the rest of my hair and it washes out very quickly. (blues, greens, pinks, reds and purples tested)

Hi Arlette, I have a smidge of "silver" popping up in my brows and have fine light brown (also changing) hair. I do like the coverage on this, and sometimes do it lightly on back-to-back weekends so the change isn't as noticeable, and less harsh on delicate brow skin if done in what I think of as "layers" over 2 weekends. Additionally, this colour is very light and I think looks natural. Going too dark as you age isn't a great look on some. This is the only brand I use, no matter what colour you choose it is a quality product. Hopefully helpful. ~SHE

grey hair actually holds the colors as well. Its your natural hair color now. So it will hold.

I think it will, and no harm in trying since it's semi-perm. I'm not a beautician/stylist professional, just someone looking to cover my own gray. I have found the darker browns tend to fade to a purple tinge, which freeks me out, but my pretty normal kids think it's cool! Helps me get over my fear of using this product. I'm PPD sensitive and am on the look out for a permanent product that will help me age slowly and gracefully. This product is easy to use compared to many I've tried, very good, just not perfect. Hopefully they keep working on it. In the meantime, I know I won't have a reaction & the product is easy to apply. Good luck ! I think it will, and no harm in trying since it's semi-perm.

Yes, my hair, especially outdoors, looks lavender on the grey strands of hair a few days after I have colored it. I used this product several times (about once every 10 days) before this happened. So, I don't know what caused it. I wondered if it was a particular shampoo that interacted with the color product? Anyway, I am still using it. It still looks better than grey and like my husband says, so many females are putting unnatural colors in their hair, anyway! lol

Yes it will absolutely work! I bought one of these for me, and I have gray hair. It works perfectly. I also bought one for my daughter and she has very fine hair, it works perfectly for her, as well. You will love it!!! We both use it on the highest setting, too, with no problems.

I do but I am only using it at my part where my hair is thinning. For that purpose it works great. I have some grey hair as I am 63. It looks more like highlighting. I don't mind the grey but I do not like the thinning at my part. This makes my hair look thicker also. Hope this helps.

Great Hair Day will cover NEW GROWTH of gray hair pretty well; however, keep in mind that the product is a powder so does not give shine to your hair where it has been applied so you would not want to use it from your roots to the ends, for example. I use this product every time I shampoo my hair. I have mostly gray hair which I have salon colored routinely, and I blend Great Hair Day up onto my new growth after each shampoo. I like the results and I feel it disguises the 'demarcation' between my gray and the colored portion pretty well. It gives me more time between the salon color process. I highly recommend this product.

I have tons of grey and it covers as well as if it was blonde. Just remember to shampoo as little as possible, and use cold wart to wet and rinse your hair.

Unfortunately you cannot stop gray hair. It's all a part of genetics and the aging process. If you pluck it, it will still grow back gray. The temporary fix that many people resort to is hair color. Hair color will cover the gray hair for six to eight weeks at which time you will need a touch up at the roots.
