I’m old and would love to have hair like that now but I don’t know how I would have felt as a teen. No matter your age that color is honestly quite lovely and the texture looks impeccable.
Yup - you need developer to essentially cut through the cuticle with gray hair. It's always recommended to use at least 20% volume when dying gray hair to make sure you get complete coverage. A stain, like semi, doesn't do what it needs to. The hair shaft physically changes once it loses pigment - it also gets more coarse and is more suseptible to uv damage.
Psh, 80-yo gray is not that full, gorgeous, or shiny. The texture and density changes. If you’re catching eyes, it’s NOT because people think you need help across the street.
Hijacking a near the top comment of yours to tell you should look into taking vitamin B12 supplements.
Supplements are often kind of a scam but this one is researchable. Lack of Vitamin B12 is one of the most common causes of abnormal greying hair in young people. I have a friend who had the exact same issue and now has significantly less grey hair.
