OK, I know this is vain and silly and all that, but...
My hair's going grey and I'd really rather it didn't. I'm considering colouring it with an at-home kit; does anyone have recommendations for brands that are more likely to survive chlorine?
Thanks,

I color my hair, too. :)
I get mine done at a salon, and the color "takes" really well. But I *always* wear a cap. You can see, too, where some of the hair at the back of my neck slips out of the cap - the color is very faded there and my hair is stiff. But most of my hair is protected by the cap and stays a nice color and texture.
The colors that fade the least are browns, I think - so if you're going for gray coverage, I'd do that. Mine is reddish and fades faster than brown or blonde.
Good luck! I have noticed a LOT more gray after I started swimming but I think it may be due to my 3 year old, mostly. :)
