Coloring Your Own Hair

RE: Coloring Your Own Hair By Christina (Guest Post) I always color my own hair. I was experimenting this time by doing it a dark brown underneath (my hair is naturally a dark blonde) Anyways, I couldn't see it all very well and didnt want to get the dye on the top part of my hair. I ended up missing some parts, and it's kinda obvious when my hair is half up. Can I use the color I mixed last night in my hair today? It didn't explode or anything? I dont want to buy a whole other box for a touch up.

Comes in a blue box. No ammonia and semi-permanent, which is the only way to go. There's no root line growing in and I usually go about 8 weeks. As you shampoo the color disperses around and gives a mix of hair color strands in your hair plus no new growth root line. If I go too long the grey starts to predominate but there's still not a root line. Only negative is that is does fade and becomes quite light after exposure to the sun. But that adds to the mixture of hair color strands. Buy at W'mart for 7 or so dollars.

Trust me. It says so on the box. Last week I left the half used container on the bathroom counter by accident and three hours later it had burst and i had foamy bleach all over the place. If you are gonna use only half the container, mix the developer and color in a container other than the one provided in the box.

Posted on 01/21/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Coloring Your Own Hair By Claudia (Guest Post) Here are a couple of products you might try: 1.) Borne Blonde- semi permanent but with no peroxide (for darker shades, try Loving Care.) Apply and leave in around 20 mins. 2.) Fanci-Full Rinse (in a grey bottle; apply to hair while still damp, leave in.) With the right color choice, either one of these could give you the reddish caste you're looking for without using permanent/peroxide color. Both can be found at Sally Beauty or other beauty supply stores. I have also found FanciFull Rinse at Walmart and some drug stores.

I usually recolor every 6 weeks, a box is around $3.00. It works best for me and my hair is course and keeps it manageable.

It's some natural dye that is semi-permanent. I get the idea that it's safe and inexpensive. And it should give you some red highlights.

Think it cost about $5.49 per 8.45 oz. tube. Comes in several colors. Cheaper then paying over $60.00 for coloring at beauty salon.

My mom used it all the time to keep her dyed color looking good. Posted on 07/15/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Coloring Your Own Hair By Mary (Guest Post) I have been dyeing my hair for some time now. I hate the soft, bodyless, flippy-floppy feeling my hair gets right after dyeing it. The best product I have tried that does not produce this result is the organic color you can get at the health food stores (green box, called Nutricolor or something like that). These dyes do not contain ammonia and my hair has much more body after using them. They do contain peroxide (no hair color will last long without it.) I feel better, however, that at least one major toxic ingredient (ammonia) has been removed. Good luck!

Posted on 07/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Coloring Your Own Hair By sjackie2000 (75) Profile Contact I use Hydrience hair color on my hair. I, too am getting older and I have more gray in my hair than my mother did at my age. The Hydrience makes your hair soft and silky feeling. I color mine about every 8 weeks or so. Try it, I think you'll like it, and it's only about $7, much cheaper than a salon dye job! Posted on 07/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
