Help I need tips on covering white hair around my face?

I'm a 42 year old white female, I dye my hair at home, although the results are pretty amazing for the 1st couple of days, after a week the white hairs come out again all around the base of my hair around the face.

Someone told me there is something I should do to my hair before I dye it, but she can't remember what it is. Anyone knows of this technique?

Please help, salon hair jobs are too expensive.

By the way, eventhough I do my own hair dye, my hair is in great condition, soft and silky.

I have a friend who is prematurely grey. When she used to color it herself, she had the same problem as you. She now has it done by a prof. hairdresser and that doesn't seem to happen anymore. I know you said it's expensive but, I don't know of any other way. Have you thought of going blonde? Seems to me the light roots would not show as much and you wouldn't have to pre lighten. Just a thought.

I have the same problem, but that is because when my hair grows, the sides and top hair show their gray color. That said, you need to color your roots every month, but also, change your face wash because this could take away the hair color around your face area.
