elumen natural colour and grey coverage. PPD allergy

[ikke1978]

HI all,

I cut my hair too short a few weeks ago. It is horrible. Like a pixie gone wrong.. looks like a bowl cut, but than a really short one. Tried to correct it with two other hairdressers. Ending up in even shorter bowl cuts. For some reason my hair pops up into a bowl model. horrible.

Only way out is growing it and not letting a hairdresser touch it anymore. I miss at least 5 cm for a cute pixie cut, so a long way back to a bob.

Now, my main question. Because of the short hair cut I suddenly see a lot of grey hairs (am a brunette) in the underlayers that were previously covered.
I did not dye my hair for 10 years because a PPD allergy ended me in the hospital back then.

I dont want to be greyish and have a horrible haircut (and 7 months pregnant).

My options are: elumen (covers grey partially), oliebe (based on plants, but Always a warm undertone), henna (don't like red or reddisch, this does not suit me)
I want my own brown colour but without the greys.

For those who use elumen:

- Are there nice natural colours that don't make the grey hairs a funky colour. I want it as natural as possible?
- Will it damage my hair. I need it in good shape to grow
- It it really free of PPD?
What to do???

I am going to a hairdresser for a patch test today for Elumen, but have a hard time trusting hairdressers after I was horrible cut so many times.

Hope for your advice...

Hugs, Lina

Elumen is free of PPD and is non damaging. It comes in browns. It’s very long lasting in my experience.

thanks. does it cover greys?

ooh.. I'm intrigued by Elumen.. would also love some grey coverage without causing damage.

thanks. does it cover greys?

I assume so. It covered mine. The greys might be a lighter brown but they should still be brown.

Nightbloomings colors work great. I use sanarae and it really covers my greys.
