    Yes just use the amount that is needed i always save mine, i always buy my colour from wilko`s. and make sure you only do your roots and comb through the rest of your hair for the last 10-15 mins this way you wont dry your hair out. hope this helps

    Let the grey grow... I did this a year ago and it was hell to grow out but now I would never dye my hair again , its such a relief not to be looking for regrowth and everyone says it suits me... you see lots of even youngish women with beautiful shiny silver or grey hair... as long as its well cut and clean and shiny its wayyyyyyyyy better than grey roots... because its so obvious even after a couple of weeks..

  • To the op. Keep a look out at Boots for the herbal essences range of permanent colour. I just got 3 boxes for £1.49 each. They may be re branding these as they are the shampoo and conditioner. So my grey won't be showing for a good while.

    Do you mean you save it even if you have mixed up the two bottles? I have some I used 3 weeks ago still on the bathroom shelf [ I know , I should have cleared it but life is rather hectic!]. Its made up and hasn't exploded....could I still use it?

    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 live in Germany and have been trying to find this dye here since I tried it when I was on holiday in England. I am very impressed with the results and the colour was almost identical to the one on the packaging. I paid more than 97P! Unfortunately, can´t buy it here and haven´t found a source on the internet.
  • Hi Ladies

    I've used (on more than one occasion) Schwarzkopf Poly Hair Colour when short on cash - you can find it in places like Savers and Semi-Chem, and it's generally £1.99. It's fab!

  • Hi everyone

    I have looked in Boots, Superdrug, Tesco, Sainsburys etc, but I can't find Nice 'n' Easy 127 'Medium Blonde'.

    It's showing as a currently available colour on Clairol's website.

    (bottom of middle column)

    Do any of you happen to use this colour and if so could you please tell me where I could find it to purchase in the UK?

    I've never used it before, hoping this will be a cheaper option instead of my current too-expensive highlights.

    Many thanks!

    :-)

    Not 100% sure, but I think I've seen that shade in Tescos.
