how to do gray hair right
10 tips for going gray beautifully
Do prepare for a long transition.
“It usually takes anywhere from four to eight months to go from coloring your hair to a natural state of gray; a year to a year and a half if you have longer hair.” If you do decide to go gray, be prepared to be patient.”

“The key to the transition,” says Lois Joy Johnson, “is to not retouch until you have enough root showing. You may need to skip a month if you’ve been on an every four to six week coloring schedule.
