Paulette asks :

Hi Although I am only 27 I have some white/grey what would you recommend to cover them but something that will also revitalise my natural colour.

Grey hair isn't actually grey, it's just because that particular hair follicle has lost it's pigment, so the hair is actually transparent. Just thought I'd share that fun fact. 

Anyway. 

Covering grey hair needn't be a daunting task. Yes it's something that a lot of women suffer with, but a regular dye job should do the trick. 

Going to the salon every few weeks may be out of your budget, but top-ups at home are a much more budget-friendly option. 

The best advice to stick to when you're dying your hair, is to ensure it looks as natural as possible stick to within three shades of your natural colour. 

Plus, more and more box dyes are creating colours that have natural highlights in to ensure your hair has less 'dyed' look about it. 

I recently tried out the hair trend Flashlights, and this adds a natural light to the hair, without looking dyed at all.
