I'm just curious, you don't actually say, but I'm assuming you get a
good result on the rest of your hair? Do you feel that you're getting
a good uptake of dye on the hairs that aren't grey? Good strong
obvious colour change?
My greys colour rather disappointingly (a weird yellow-ey orange) but
they definitely stain. But I haven't yet figured out a way to avoid
getting some colour on the skin around my hairline and the fact that
you don't get any there is a bit strange, too.
hmmm...
Not helpful, I know, just wondering...
