Question for home dyed blondes!

What brand of hair colour do the blondes here use?
I have been dying my hair for over 30 years using nice n easy, but my hair was so dry and lots was breaking when I washed my hair.
I haven't dyed it for 3 years to grow it out but the problem is a) it is taking far far too long, b) I've realised my natural colour is pretty drab and horrible anyway!
I want to try a different brand, salons are too expensive so it needs to be a home kit I can get from Boots or Superdrug etc.
Any recommendations?

    Not directly answering your question, but if you are in London why not try one of the training schools - Vidal Sassoon, Toni and Guy etc? Then you can get a cheap/ free cut and colour with professional results?

    Local collages as well. I used to pay about £15 for a full head of highlights with a wash, cut and blow dry.. Plus a tip

    Have you looked at garnier's new one called olia made with oils?

    I used whatever's on offer provided its a good make and then use either VO5 hot oil or, if I am feeling stingy, just olive oil from kitchen. It does wonders.

    John Frieda do a nice conditioning masque too which I use on hols.

    I use N&E #100 every 6-8 weeks and have found the best way to keep my hair in good nick is a cut every 5 weeks to avoid those straw ends that bleach blondes can get. I've been dying for 16 years, and my hair is in v.good condition considering that.
  • Not dying it yet, but I will need to before long, I fear.. Pah I thought blondes didn't go grey, grrr :rotfl:

    John Frieda Precision Foam for me, in a 10N Extra Light Natural Blonde. It's the only 'home' hair colour I've ever used, and I couldn't believe how easy it is - or how good the results.
