You know if you adjust your parting a little, even zig zag it , thee roots dont look so bad?

Theres a thread running this week on here somewhere, some people are just mixing enough of a colour to do the roots every fortnight.

The very best thing is to get a colour just slightly lighter then you are. I used to go thr auburn browns, Im now working towards the ash browns. I also read that the "ash" shades colour better then the others. I use nice and easy or whatever is around the £4 mark in the supermarket when Im shopping

Thanks, I'll look for that thread...
"Ash" colours are not in the reds, are they? Do you do the whole of your head when you change to a lighter colour or just your roots? And would it make any difference to the already dyed darker hair?

I saw a brand of hair dye that I haven't noticed before yesterday, in Tescos. It is called Mellor and Russell and was selling for 97p!!!!!
Has anyone tried it?

I just changed the whole head colour slowly. From the red browns through the red browns through the golden browns and now more into the ash colours.

TBH Im not always particular about what colour goes on. If a colour range is on special when Im shopping I just go for what ever they have as I noticed not all shops carry all of any range

Highlights/lowlights are a good way to go as then you have so many colours added the regrowth rarely notices. However its really expensive if cost is a major consideration

Yes, cost is a major consideration..... have you tried home highlighting kits before?

Yesterday I noticed Mellor and Russell hair dye on sale in Tesco for 97p!!! It is a permanent colour, and had a range of shades.
Has anyone tried it?
As hair dye is usually £4+ I was amazed at the price!!! But is it any good??

I haven't tried this brand but I noticed in home bargains they had good quality hair colours like schwartskoph (sp!) live colour for about half the price they are in tesco/boots

Hi all,

I had poseted before but received no replies. I was wondering if you can use a home hair dye if you hair has been high/lowlighted at the hairdressers?

thanks.

I think you are safe enough to put brown over anything, buy two boxes so you have loads to cover well if you have long/thick hair.

I have been using the same permanent hair colour on my hair now for a few years and am finding that the grey side strands and grey bits by the roots are showing after about 3 weeks. What can I do to make the colour last longer? Also I find myself throwing away a lot of the dye after I have done my hair. It says you can't keep it? Is this really true? Do you have any tips on how to make the whole process cheaper as £4-5 every 3 -4 weeks is getting really expensive
