Advice needed: hair too orange and grey coverage not lasting
Hi! I naturally have very dark brown hair with some grey regrowth. For years I’ve been coloring my hair/roots with L’Oréal Majirel 7.1 + 30 vol, but my hair keeps turning too orange/coppery. Also, right after touching up the roots my grey hairs seem to become visible again very quickly, so I’m wondering if 7.1 alone is not giving enough grey coverage.
I do like lighter hair colors, so I don’t want to go back to dark brown. I also don’t want highlights, because my hair grows extremely fast and the maintenance would be too much.
I’m thinking of switching to 20 vol for my roots, possibly using a mix of 7.0 + 7.1 for better grey coverage, and then toning the warm lengths separately with Dia Light.
Does this sound like a good plan? Which brand/formula would you recommend for the roots, and which toner/gloss would be best to use on the lenghts to reduce the orange without making it too dark or muddy? Thank you!
