HOW TO COLOUR YOUR HAIR AT HOME ! BYE BYE GREYS !! | Davina McCall

Ahhhhhhh those grey hairs are coming out again !!
Dying my hair was long overdue so I thought I'd show you how I do it at home. I've been regularly dying my hair since I was a teenager (You'd think I'd be an expert by now!) and wanted to demystify some of the things around it.

Thanks Davina, I have just started following you . I am 52 menopausal (on HRT) recently got back into running & yoga . I am in a job I no longer enjoy & have a lot going on but have a great family you are inspiring me to be a bit braver. I am taking time out to sit down with a coffee & watch your videos . We all need time to look after ourselves ,thank you x

[@lovepeace4065]

First time watching Davina couldn’t believe she colours her own hair given her status. Very inspirational and will definitely start colouring my own hair as have white hairs growing.

[@sarahyoung8123]

I absolutely love watching your videos!! You're so naturally funny!! 🤣

[@sarahvob]

I’ve used nutriesse in hollys color for years... loved it so easy. But last year I decided to grow out my color. I’m about to turn 40 and I’ve embraced my grey. Love it more now

[@dianneporter3350]

I also decided to become authentic, had my last hair dye in March 2020 and love my new grey. I will never go back to colouring, feels great not to be a slave to hair dye every 6 weeks!

[@melanieblackburn1866]

Oh i so wish i could brave it but i just cant ...i have been light blonde all my life but i have just gone auburn + i love it. Wish i could just embrace the grey like you though

[@dianneporter3350]

melanie blackburn Have to admit it was the most challenging thing I have ever done! Going cold turkey after colouring my hair dark brown for 35+ years was scary. But now 1 year later and fully transitioned my hair is so healthy. I hardly lose any hair when shampooing like before and my hair is soft and shiny. It's funny how I never got compliments on the colour of my hair when dyeing but now I do. I get asked if this is my natural grey. Anyway we all have to be ready to stop dyeing and I was more than ready.

[@denises9680]

Hi Sarah, I wish I could embrace my grey's but the problem I have is my grey's don't go down my hair shaft they just love staying at the roots of my hair. I've literally left my hair without dying it for over 6 months before but the grey's don't go anywhere lol. IF they travelled down to the ends of my hair I'd be more than happy to rock my natural hair colour. Saying that, I've just bought 2 boxes of Garnier Nutrisse and planning on dying it this weekend 🤔.

[@natasharuth459]

Love how you make us all feel normal Davina. You just treat everyone as an equal with a normal life, no thrills and no being above the rest.

I'm just starting to notice greys, but I've decided to let them grow out. I've spent years dyeing my hair all different colours and I loved having darker hair, but I finally got fed up with all the mess, the expense and the faff of having to do it every few weeks. Grey hair is a natural part of getting older, so I'm just going to embrace it. I'm intrigued to see what it'll look like once it's all grey. I think some cool lilac tones through it could look amazing.

[@seagypsiesbellydancers3047]

In lockdown I decided not to bother trying to cover up the white hairs or grey or whatever you want to call them. I thought well some people look fab with white hair and some peeps pay a fortune for it! If I coloured my hair it would slide off after just a couple of days! Binned the dye and now my hair has never been so healthy and looks great! Do whatever makes you happy. Love your channel Davina xx

[@alesiadani3447]

[@lynseyl568]

I love garnier it’s the only brand I use .. really gentle on your hair . I use glacial brown always pleased with the results , I used to pay really expensive at the hairdressers, now my daughter does it for me for free and only costs me £9 for 2 packs from boots! X

[@BarbB56]

I wish they would sell the conditioner for use afterwards. It works like no other hair conditioner.

[@lilwilliams7277]

Brilliant Davina , only you could think of exercising when putting on hair colour 🤣🤣

[@fab50s101]

Good video Davina, although your skin tone changes as you get older so would recommend going a shade lighter or put in some lowlights to break up the block colour. Natural hair ihas different tones and is a flat colour. Also the greys wouldn't notice so much when coming through. 🥰

[@lex7799]

Love this!

[@sarahcooper6352]

Well done. I make a right pigs ear when I do it... I'll be trying your technique 👍🏼😉

[@blondeenigma3882]

I've always coloured my natural blonde hair greys with a box colour at home. I use Schwarzkopf natural blonde 31, or L'Oreal Excellence Creme, two boxes for the length, and they last about 5 weeks until they need re-doing. Very good results, my hair is super silky afterwards, and with 2 boxes costing less than £10 you can't go wrong.

[@dianamariadelascuevas4839]

Your hair color is simply beautiful

[@notaclue822]

You've got your perfect shade. I get confused about which one to use. How often do you need to do it?

[@lulubelle2009]

I use coconut oil instead of vaseline I can't remember where I picked up that tip. I also put a shower cap or plastic bag on my hair whilst I'm waiting for the dye to set, it gives a better depth to the colour.

[@alisonnorcross951]

I was dying my hair from 21to 64 but what I hated was within a short few weeks i would see a harsh white line as it grew out and I got older. It looked I had a case of alopecia or low thyroid. During lockdown I grew it it out. No harsh line. My hair is not as grey as I thought. How does she make it look so easy! I got dye everywhere. Husband loved to do it for me.

[@denises9680]

Hi Davina, I've been dying my hair since I was 24 when I saw my first strand of grey hair. I always use a box dye and think they're great and easy. I recently came across a brand that is like a mask and I found that better but then I couldn't find it again, well my shade! You've taught me something. I always do a skin test but would mix the 2 together but your saying just mix the colourant! Never knew that was the way to do it! Thanks for that! Don't know if your going to get back to me but, I have curly hair and in the past section my hair which does take a bit of time. Never done it like you've shown here. I think I'm going to try your technique! I'm going to buy your shade also because it looks really nice. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@pugglepooch]

looks lovely but wouldn't it be easier to go to the salon? Much nicer experience.. I use a box die as on a budget but would choose the salon any day as it's a messy time consuming job at home. You always look amazing though and so much fun to see you doing a normal everyday thing ❤

[@dawnthatcher1412]

Tips: Be careful not to get the vaseline or equivalent on your hair as it acts as a barrier and will prevent the dye catching. Put the dye in your natural parting and the perimeter of your hairline first, it gives it longer to catch. Also if you do get dye on your skin use the tint to remove it when washing out your hair. Tint removes tint. I use this colour and it's a great colour, very natural looking.

I actually use Holland and barrett naturtint it's natural and fantastic

I’m 30 but I’ve had stubborn grey/white hair on my temples since I was 25 and it’s so resistant to hair colour! Even when I have it done at the hairdressers I swear it ‘washes off’ in a week 😖 I haven’t used this brand before but does anyone know if it’s good for stubborn grey/white hair or does your grey show through within weeks? Thanks! x

That's why I went Ash blonde so my grey mixes with blonde was golden blonde but wasn't covering grey. So dark colour would be a nightmare to keep dark.

Dying your hair isn’t just cos it’s grey, my mum was blonde and she’s dyed her hair darker for years cos she likes brunette hair and it’s grey now but she still wants brown hair.
