HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Transitioning from a dyed colour to grey can take time. ‘It really depends on the starting point,’ says Katie.

‘If you’ve been colouring your hair very dark, then this journey will take much longer than if your hair is lighter.’ The length of your hair is a factor, too. ‘If you’re going through the process of changing your colour, I always say to clients that they may need to compromise on their cut,’ advises Katie. Shorter hair can take as little as six months, while longer hair can take up to a year or more to go 100% grey. ‘And remember, the darker your hair when you begin, the more colour will need to be applied to blend and lighten it to your grey roots,’ adds Katie. ‘This can leave your hair very dry, so the more you are prepared to cut off, the better – to help your hair look and feel in good condition.’
