How to Stop Coloring Grey Hair
Most women find it difficult to accept grey hair when it first begins appearing, especially when they feel that it ages them prematurely, so they will often color their hair to cover the grey. As the years pass and the grey becomes more prevalent, coloring becomes a task that you must be done more often to cover the grey roots and may become a burden. Some women decide at this point to stop coloring grey hair and make the transition to their natural grey color, but the process requires planning and patience. Does this Spark an idea?

Cover the roots with a wide headband during the first few months. This will conceal the grey roots around your face and make the transition undetectable.

2
Switch to hair scarves once the grey roots become over 2 inches long. Tie a hair scarf tightly around your entire hair. Tie the scarf behind an ear or under your hair at the nape of your neck.

Consider cutting the rest of your hair as short as you can tolerate. This will lessen the difference between the grey and your unnatural color and make the final transition faster because you will be cutting off as much of the dyed hair as possible.

Use a semi-permanent hair color on your hair that will wash out in approximately ten shampoos. Choose a semi-permanent color that is either similar to your colored hair or a platinum color that would be more similar to a natural grey color. You will have to recolor your hair with the semi-permanent hair color two to three times per month.

Tips & Warnings
If you decide to use a semi-permanent hair color, once your grey hair has completely grown in and you can cut off all of the hair that had permanent color on it, you can transition from the semi-permanent hair color to the natural grey very quickly.
