I have 75 percent gray on the top and auburn underneath... 3 inches of new growth and red on the bottom... will this cover all of it or bleed through?

I have a bit of gray. I used Henna for the first time and it covered everything beautifully. I'm a complete convert now. I have pretreated hair, years of dyeing. I'm not sure how well the Henna would grab a hold of untreated hair but for me, it's maintained it's color wonderfully. Can't recommend enough.

It will likely bleed through because henna coats the outside of the hair shaft. Regular dyes penetrate the shaft and may be a better bet for covering grey. Try Aveda, it is an all natural permanent dye that penetrates the hair shaft and lasts much longer (and with deeper color) than henna. Although henna stays with your hair for a long time, it fades fast and I fear your grey lockes will look orange in a few weeks. Hope this helps.

We used a product at salon to remove the brassy buildup (actually two separate applications/appointments) and followed up with this.... I continue to use this and LOVE it... it truly has helped and I have not had an issue since. I had let color grow out to allow my natural "gray" and couldn't believe the build up that I was experiencing after working so hard to get to the natural state.... give this a try.... you won't be sorry.

It covered my gray. It lasts as long as loving care did.....but that depends how often you wash your hair. I get rid of my gray every couple of months.

Not at all in our use of this and we have three different colors. Once it is originally rinsed after application, it didn't bleed onto anything.

I have colored hair and use it just fine :) I don't notice any type of hair bleeding or nothing like that. But this is just my personal experience from personal use-I am not a professional in hair.

It will definitely cover the gray. My cushions were flowery and although it didn't cover the deep details of the flowers it definitely covered the everything. I was impressed with the outcome.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

It will come out spotty if you dilute it. I would suggest you using another dye. Good luck!!!!

the formula given to me by my daughter who is a hairdress in another state is 1 oz #7 1/4 oz #6.45 and 1 1/2oz of 20 vol developer. My hair turns out medium brown hair with some red hight lights. The front of my head is all gray and it covers it well. I leave it on for 25 minutes. I do just the roots then in the last five minutes i rub it through my whole head. Good luck.

This worked for me on my hennaed hair! I only use 100% lab tested henna and some indigo and cassia. After 2 applications I've gone from deep cherry ends to medium coppery ends and my roots are almost back to my original color with just a slight coppery tint. I'm going to try 2 more applications to try to even out the roots and ends.

Typically I work in a circle to cover an area the vertically then horizontally skin should be red but not bleeding raw I have seen results with one treatment a month. Skin cell repair them selves every 21 days more often can cause trauma to the area. Depends on area and what you are treating

The Schwartzkopf Igora Royal does not seem to cover gray, at least it does not cover mine. One might have to contact Schwartzkopf directly to find out which of their color lines work for gray.

Have you tried White Bright? I just read about it in a blog and found it here on Amazon. It says it can do this, in the description, Going to try it for something white with a red stain that also bled. Let me know if you found something that works though? Thanks! : )

I got frost gray because I was afraid of that too. I've had mine for 6 months and haven't noticed it yet. The gray might mask it.

I've put the violet in my hair and, for some reason, mine transferred onto everything every time it was wet. I even used the Ion color lock conditioner, tried the new nexxus color primer before washes, pureology for color-treated shampoo, but nothing would keep this stuff from turning everything purple. You may end up with a little magenta water around you if your color is anything like mine was. :(

I just splat a whole bit of it on top over my wet hair after I shampoo and comb it through. Most of it washes out after the first shampoo. I just repeat. The color I'm using is close to my own color . . . it pretty much just covers the gray for me . . . nothing too dramatic.

Yes it covers my grey hair. The hair on top of my head is mostly grey and after using the Red Henna, the result is a very vibrant redheaded color.
