It depends, it depends, and it depends. Presuming you use a #3 (Permanent
color) - its lasting effects are affected by your water type and how often
you wash your hair. When I was younger, lived in the St. Louis area and
didn't gray as quickly - a good bottle of 'stuff' could keep me colored for
about 4 1/2 months. These days I'm lucky to have it last 2 months. Of
course, one of the pros of having naturally blue-black hair is that as it
silvers, the gray blends in rather well initially... that is until all color
is about gone from the temple area. I think my gray (silver) looks nice -
but the rest of me doesn't look or act like I should be as gray as my hair
is (without color). Does that make sense?
