Hi again,

No, I'm not actually the Diane on the mixes page. I started out as a
light natural redhead actually. I now have a very fiery
chestnut/copper thing going on. Although the colour change was fairly
drastic, it does mean that my roots are actually lighter than the
length rather than darker, I think that contributes to the fact that
I can ignore the regrowth for quite some time.

I think the theory is that the older, more porous length and ends of
hair will take up the dye more readily than the new growth or roots.
I don't know if I can offer any advice about the direction to apply;
my hair was shoulder length, now just about jaw length, so I tend to
always spend the bulk of my attention on getting the roots well
covered, then I give the greys at my temples a bit of a head start as
well since they are stubborn, before just slopping it on to the
length, which takes literally 2 minutes. One of the only advantages
to owning a head of short hair ( I long for the days when my hair hit
my brastrap, I'm terribly jealous of all the long-haired folks here!)
