how long does it take to completely wash out? and will my gray hair come back to normal or does it stay a different shade?

Hi, I don't know how long it takes to completely wash out but I retouch my roots with a temporary color after each shampoo with a different brand of course. So unless you are using it at each shampoo I believe your normal gray will return.

I have a lot if grey therefore every two weeks when I wash my hair I have to put more rinse in. If you don't have much grey it should last at least month. The rinse hasn't changed my grey yellowish; it's still bright white- darn it.

For me this product never washes out of the longer strands, meaning after I shampoo, it doesn't buldge, which is why I love it. I have long hair, and the gray in my longer strands has stayed completely colored every since I started using this product after all shampoos....and I or my hairstylist just reapplies it to my new growth. (roots) which is the only place it is gray and around my front edges, which sometimes I think fades more if I accidently get it wet often when showering, which I find odd, since it has never washed out anywhere else. That's what I like most about this product as opposed to the one in the Bronze bottle, which I used for years, and always faded all over after every shampoo...BUT it will be different for different people, because everyone doesn't take color the same. I have a girlfriend whose hair will not color well with this product, and she tried another product that worked for her.

I don't know about total white hair but I do have grey around hair line when my permanent color grows out. I use it every time to fill in color between scalp and color. It is a rinse and does wash out with each shampoo. I am not sure you would want this product for all over use as it tends to give the hair a different feel and maybe it tends to get dirty quicker but then I am old fashioned and only shampoo every 5 or 6 days so I don't want extra products that change texture of hair. I love it for temporary fill-in but it might work for all over color.

I've done it once it gave me a dark violet color looked like grape soda. I would leave it in for about 25 min in the hair then wash out. I recommend doing a tiny section first then see a little result.

I usually start in the front, where my hair is more gray. To make sure you get it all over, it is best to apply in sections. I start at the root of each section and massage to the ends. After you are done, Make sure you have massaged it in thoroughly. Then time it from 20 to 30 min. It really depends on how deep you want the color. I have a lot of yellow in my gray, so I leave it an hour. You can check it after 20 min and then go from there. Then you just rinse it out. I always shampoo first, then apply the color, then I apply my conditioner last. Make sure you rinse very well on the Born Blonde. It is very easy to use.

Do you mean strawberry blonde or blonde blonde?It takes 2-3 applications to get this shade, if this is your first time and especially if you have grey hair. Also, yoi have to keep it more than 4hours minimum. Also, as it says on the instructions: don't shampoo your hair for at lest a day after application. Just rinse. Read instructions and follow and you will get it. It does work. I have 80% grey. It works.

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.

The medium brown does cover my gray on the sides and hair line pretty well, but you have to leave it on for min of 20 minutes or even more. I even use it to get rid of the gray in my eyebrows. It doesn't contain any ammonia or peroxide , so it is does not last long. If you wash your hair everyday, then you will need to apply or at least touch up about every two weeks. If less often, a month. I love it because it is gentle and does not go bad if you do not use all of it at once. It lasts for a long time for touch ups. It comes right out of th ebottle..................no mixing.

This product is very easy to use.I shampoo and condition my hair with my regular products.Then apply the Brilliant Brunette color glaze. I usually wait about 3 to 5 minutes while finishing up my shower before rinsing it out.The amount you use depends on how much gray you need to cover.

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.

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.

My hair grows fast, so an application lasts me about 3-4 weeks, much like other hair dyes. If you leave the surya in your hair long enough when applying, it does a very good job of covering gray. I've not had problems with fading so much as my hair growing out. (I use black). Oh! there is a little bit that rubs off on pillowcases and the top of my white blouses, but not much. I try to really rinse well and I wash my hair a couple of times per week.

After shampooing and conditioning hair. Wring out excess water from hair. Apply color glaze with gloves. Saturate hair with product and leave on for at least 15 minutes. Rinse and use styling products as usual. I've been using this for over 10 years and always get great results. Can use everytime you wash but probably not more than a couple times a week. People compliment me on the color of my hair all the time. It covers the gray and adds a auburn shade to my hair color. Just love it.

Grey is by nature very hard to color. I recommend a test strip, as you should do any time you try a new product. I can tell you that Splat colors do saturate very well, however they will become washed out looking within a few weeks, though they never actually come out all the way on bleached hair. For a good look you should plan to reapply every few weeks. If you are planning for something that will be fun for now and then wash out then do not use this! Again, it doesn't ever come all the way out. Hope this helps. FYI...I love the Splat beach for a very high lift. I haven't found its match in taking dark hair to light yellow blonde.

It darkened my pretty silver to a dull gray. That was mid-January. It's taken numerous washings to get my hair back to its normal color and it still has a bit to go. Hope this was helpful. This product did not work for me.

It does not wash out immediately, but it only stains the hair, so it seems to wash out after several weeks. If you need something really temporary, I would use another product.

I have short hair with many gray strands and want a natural look. Where the time chart says leave it on 45 minutes, I leave it 35. It colors the gray but much lighter like my natural highlights. I use only 1/6th bottle per application and it lasts almost a year.

I have quite a bit of grey and it tends to take the color extremely well. You get a much more vivid color than even the bleached hair gets! Good luck.
