Welcome!

Gray hair is the most difficult hair to color.  It is more coarse and resistant to the coloring process.   Salon hair coloring is stronger than the home versions, so you might have more luck with the color not fading as quickly.  If you do go to a salon, make sure the person is color specialist.  Not all sylists are experienced with coloring, but a specialist would know the best way to deal with your type of hair.

Good luck!

Mustang-

I am empathetic to your situation with grey hair.  I'm only 33, however, I believe I'm not 20-25% grey now.  Even going to my colorist was difficult.  We finally had to do high lights because my grey was resistant even to his professional products. 

At this point, I have given up.  I haven't colored my hair since last August...... 

I hope you find a better solution!   Cheesy
