A client in Chicago made me rethink my whole approach to gray coverage

I was working on a woman who had about 60 percent gray hair and wanted full, even color. I used my usual method, applying the color from the roots down, but the ends came out patchy and dull. She looked in the mirror and said, 'It's still so uneven.' That moment at my station made me stop and really look at the problem. Now I start applying color to the mid-lengths and ends first, wait 15 minutes, then do the roots, and my results are so much better. Does anyone else use a different order for stubborn gray hair?

Used to think that order didn't matter, but seeing patchy results changed my mind completely.

Seeing patchy results" is what made me finally change my old way of thinking.
