In between my trips to the salon, I use something called ColorMark to help hide the gray. It comes in a mascara looking bottle with an applicator to apply to the hairline and part and comes in 12 different shades. It stays in until you shampoo and it costs $19.95 plus shipping. I used to use one of those color crayons from Sallys but this is so much easier.

According to Andre Walker, he uses Bigen on Oprah's hair. I use this product too, because you can color a lot more frequently if you have to. Sometimes Black hair dyes can fade if you use gels and heavy hair slick pomades (like Let's Jam). Sometimes I only have to touch up my edges. I like Garnier Fructis hair color when I need a hard true black, when I wear my hair in an updo, or for when I'm presenting in a fashion show. That patent leather shiny black looks good on AA skin (see Mo'Nique on her T.V. show the Parkers, who used a heavy black all the time) for great shine!.

yeah it sucks going grey early makes you feel like an old lady. i found my first grey hair when i was 20 so far that's all i've seen. (26 now) but some people i know girls and guys with dark hair started getting greys as a teenager. my granny is almost all cherokee,70 yrs. old, her skin is so smooth and soft (not wrinkly)and only a few grey. she also drinks nothing but water.but anyways you could probably use a demi permanent hair color (lasts through about 28 shampoos) see how it works. if it's just your roots may mom uses the root touch up to cover hers she gets dark blonde since it turns out darker and her hair is light brown.it's from nice n easy.you could try natural instincts for the demi permanent it says semi but really demi cause of how long it lasts.well good luck hun.

oh also i've read that people go grey from so many reasons lack of a vitamin genetics, stress on hair and of course age if you're older. but who knows. maybe one day they'll find out for sure what causes it which is probably a lot of things.like everything causing cancer.

I have a few grey hairs but so far I do not color my hair. I do get a Thermal Reconditioning once or twice a year. I'm wondering if when the time comes to cover my grey if the coloring will harm my hair and will I have to stop straightening it also....
