The best thing to have at the moment is an ash semi permanent through all of your hair! This will tone down any warmth through your hair and give a much better look. I know my hair has a lot of warmth and I have the same problem unless I have lots of ash in my colour. Lightening your hair one shade lighter would not necessarily work. You could still end up with more warmth! The good thing about having an ash semi permanent through is that it not only tones your hair but it will also condition and give your hair a fabulous shine. You can also reapply this when any warmth starts to show through again.

Firstly Maureen, why stop colouring your hair because you are sixty? Have you not heard? Sixty is the new fifty! As for a boy hair cut, short hair like a boy only suits clients with very small faces so if this is you go for it! My advice would be to go to a professional hair salon and have a consultation on what would suit you. I also think if you are used to having your hair coloured it will not seem the same if you try growing it out. If you normally have a full head colour you could go half way and have some beautiful lowlights through to make your hair look great! Good Luck Maureen & happy hair!

I would blend your short layers into the rest of your hair to get rid of the helmet look! Other than that it is a case of having patience and growing your layers. The other thing you could do is have your length cut to your longest layers and then wait for the shorter ones to catch up. The other alternative is to have some extensions put in to save you waiting for it to happen naturally!
