Colouring hair.

it depends on the brand really. some last just as well as the salon colours, some don't. it also depends what colour you want to go. darker colours are good quality from the supermarket but if you're dying it blonde then it's a lot harder to get a good quality job at home, but i think this has a lot to do with user error.

i use the john freida precision foam and the colour lasts really well imo. i dyed my hair 5 weeks ago and i'm still getting compliments on the shade! my roots are starting to sneak through but that's got nothing to do with the dye, just my greys... but it also covered those really well and the colour hasn't faded at all. i was paying £80 for the hairdresser to cut and colour my hair but this dye cost me £9.99 for two bottles and has done the same job.

I have never had a problem home colouring. In fact as I have short hair split the product and only mix half each time so save more money. If you mix the whole thing you cannot keep it.

I mix in a small bowl and the second time mix in the plastic bottle in the box. I stick to colours near my own colour so the natural blonds, even had a few people who thought the colour was my own and I didn't colour.

Be aware the colour always turns out darker than the photo on the front of the box. Stick to well known brands l'oreal clairol etc.

I have got two applications out of one box as well, and now I generally stick to one that's a couple of shades lighter than my own hair. It seems to give my hair shine and bounce, and perks it up. I cut my own hair as well, so my hairdressing costs are minimal.

I dye my own hair as it is A LOT cheaper than getting it done at the hairdressers and I just find it a lot easier to do it myself around my lifestyle rather than making an appointment and spending a few hours in the hairdressers. I would suggest maybe using a more expensive hair dye if you are wary of the cheap ones and be sure to do a patch test! Good luck

I've used Nice n Easy for years (blonde) and find it doesn't dry my hair out.
