Deeper tones
by: Michelle

Hi Myra,

Because the grey becomes more concentrated as time passes, it becomes necessary to add some deeper tones to your haircolor to prevent the washed out look.

Use the same strawberry blonde color and also buy a light golden brown shade. Mix the two together (start with 2 parts strawberry, 1 part golden brown) and apply.

This will keep your color close to the same tone while adding a bit more depth.

If you find the results too brown, try the same thing but replace the golden brown with a copper color. Go easy on the copper though as it will contain some very strong red pigments (try 1 part copper to 3 parts strawberry).

Hope this helps!

All the best,
Michelle

red head going blonde at 56 yrs old
by: debbie

I am a natural strawberry blonde and as I am aging I an finding that I have blonde hair and need to find a color so when I go back to my natural color I don't wash out but have some color. I am very white and burn easily, What can I do with mt hair? I tried and ended up with dark brownish hair on bottom and dark red on top.
Its too dark for my skin

red head going blonde at 51

I am in the same situation as Debbie. Redheads/Strawberry blonds skip the grey stage and go to white - hence we get blonder every day.
Should we let it go, color or try a henna to brighten up?
