How do you get back your natural color?

[soslychic]

For those that have highlited or dyed and want to get back to there natural color, is there any way to do this without growing it out. I mean if you find a permanent color that is pretty close, can you use it and then have it blend with your roots? Or is it pretty much impossible to find a color that matches your own so much that you can just let the 2 blend?

I probably could've found a haircolor that matched my natural color enough to let it gradually grow out, but I wanted to see what my real hair color was since I hadn't seen it in 15 years! Plus, whenever I colored my hair, it rarely lasted (since I never used that color-enhancing shampoo or color-preserving products--too much work!) so coloring it AGAIN to match my roots was out of the question. In the end, I cut off my colored ends, which was a good 4-5 inches. I missed my hair a LOT but am glad to be starting fresh. Now that I see what my natural haircolor is (with my 1st greys popping up) I'm really loving it.

i had highlights several times and i always come to a point where the different colors on my head get on my nerves, then i just pick a dark brown color and color my whole head. so that's how i go back to my natural color. tracy relies on textures and tones. i really like bigen hairpowder. but you can use anything that is low in ammoniak and moisturizing. hth
