Dyeing white regrown hair?

My earlier question asked about dyeing the white re-grown hair.

I currently look a bit like a Friesian cow, dyed dark hair with white patches! I'm considering letting my natural hair return to grey but it's not an attractive grey - just looks dirty. I thought that if the new hair is capable of taking colour I could have the whole lot dyed a 'pretty' grey. The only other alternative would be a wig. I am losing hair from around the crown and would say that about one third of my hair has gone so It's becoming a bit urgent.

My hairdresser knew very little about the condition the last time she cut my hair so I'd love to hear from someone who has tried it!

Hi Gadget1943,

You can dye white regrowing hair but I would suggest you use an ammonia free hair dye, something like naturals by boots or henna dye. I think a lot of the bigger selling brands also do ammonia free hair dyes but it's been a long time since I had hair to think about dying it.

Hope that helps.
