Hi @Hils my hair was actually a shade of purple (violet vision!) before hand - had elements of grey coming through at the sides before I recoloured it but nothing like the grey it is now. My hair was very short anyway so most likely all the grey is new hair coming through and because it hasn't had a colour for several months it might of gone like this anyway.
Thought I might be able to keep it grey - go for the Jamle Lee Curtis look - but scared the grey makes me look too old - hence going for the blond.
@Jinte I have heard a shower with no hair is fab - was a bit too scared to go that far.
