Healing Brush for coloring hair not working

[Katzenfutter]

Hi There,
I was trying to use the healing brush to color hair in places where it was grey. I followed all the steps from the Photoshop handbook and held down the Alt key to sample areas of the hair that were good to use, but when I brush over the grey areas and release the mouse it just softens the area instead of keeping the color and texture I sampled. What's going wrong?

Or is there another, better way how to do it? I use Photoshop CX.

Thanks in advance.

Well for this I wouldnt use the healing brush; create a blank layer above the hair and eye drop(I) to get a color u think would work, then brush over the gray area; and set the layer blend mode to Color
