If you have been active in the gray hair communities on Facebook and Instagram, you’ve probably heard a lot of talk about Overtone.

Overtone is a tinted conditioner (not a dye!) that some women use to add fun colors to their hair.  A lot of young women use the silver shades to tint their hair silver or slate gray.

But, what if you have a big event (like a speaking engagement or a wedding) and your demarcation line is bothering you?

If you have lighter hair (blonde, strawberry blonde, light brown), or if your dark brunette dye has REALLY faded (to a light orange), I think Overtone Extreme Silver Deep Treatment could work to blend your faded dye with your natural grays

It turned my natural silvers a deeper silver color (which will fade after a few shampoos) – in fact, they even have a slight blue tint (which doesn’t bother me but might drive some people up a wall!).

But, now that I’ve had 24 hours to think about this, I have to admit that you can still see the demarcation line.

WHAT SHADE OF EYEBROW LOOKS BEST ON YOU?

It is smooth and soft and feels like I’ve used a really great deep hydrating conditioner on it.

I like the slate gray/blue tint it gave my silvers, but I’m also happy with my natural silver color, so I think I’ll probably wait to try the Overtone again once my dyed bits have faded quite a bit more to see if it “takes” better.
