If your roots look shiny while the ends look dry, you’ve lost elasticity. If your hair is fine or thin, you have a potential for even more damage because the smaller the diameter of the hair shaft, the easier it is to lose that precious elasticity.
“Kitchen beauticians” using out-of-the-box dye for coloring grey hair can use this tip from FineShine.com: You don’t have to use all of the developer or peroxide that is provided in the hair color box, especially if you’re going darker than your natural color.

The less developer or peroxide you use when coloring grey hair, the more you keep elasticity in your hair. Imagine the hair’s cuticle layer as the shingles on a roof — the more it gets damaged and torn away from the hair shaft — the more your hair loses elasticity. Each time you use developer or peroxide for coloring grey hair, your hair loses a bit of elasticity, so less is more!
To figure out how much less developer or peroxide you can use, dilute the solution with water. Try it in gradually more diluted increments. It usually takes about half the time or half the dose of developer to process the color properly.
