Jade, thanks for the reply. You are helpful. Right now I am
highlighting, which I want to get away from. I have long hair and
probably 20 percent gray when the roots come out. I have dirty
blonde hair and foil so the stuff doesn't touch my scalp. Maybe
that doesn't matter. I need to do something with the roots, but
really want to spice up my drab hair w/o chemicals, if possible. I
agree with you about the chemical stuff. We know it isn't that
great, but aside from Henna, what is there that can add a little
something. Maybe just coffee??? lol
