diy hair coloring

Published Nov. 7, 2009
Views: 519

Since my hair isn't falling out as bad now, I would like a change. 

I have never colored my hair before.  It is very dark.  Almost black.  I want to lighten it a couple of shades, nothing drastic.

Any advice on which brand to use? 

How long does it last?

What if I don't like it, what can be done?

I think that's all the questions I have for now.  Thanks in advance for your advice

I am too chicken for streaks. But caramel sounds like a good color. Not too light. I don't want to spend the money for a pro job. (I'm not working now)

Hey Bubbles !! I have dark hair as well. I would suggest going to a professional and getting some caramel streaks/high lights in your hair!

Its a VERY VERY VERY nice look ! Good luck and post a pic of your hair once YOU decide and have it done :)

I like that Loreal that has three colors. I think it has hightlight color, lowlight color and a glosser. It gives a little more dimension. If your hair is as dark as you say, it will only give you a little lighter effect. I like it; it looks natural. I have a lot of gray , so I do it every 3 to 4 weeks. keep us posted. I think the color is part of the Chocolate Truffel. The box is white. Good luck.

ok, kool aid flavors are

ORANGE

BERRY BLUE

TROPICAL PUNCH

think i will go with orange to match baby

when my hair was lighter I did use sun in and since my hair was almost blonde anyway it looked good.

But as I get older, my hair gets darker and darker

And KOOL AID, why didn't I think of that, I automatically associated kids drinks with soft drinks or thought "could he be talking about red bull or coffee?"

let me check it out....

Don't use somethig like Sun-in...or something like that I sprayed some on my hair back in the seventies...thank God it was the summer...I ended looking like a cross between ronald McDonald and Carrothead. Sigh.

The best one is the one that not only has the "base color" but also a highlight kit in it. It costs more than the other hair color products but result is worth it. (I think it's made by L'Oreal?)

LOL Travised, I did a blog about that a while back. There is a link on there with how to directions, if you get that urge for lime green or grape hair. :D

You can color your hair with Mt. Dew?

That's what my teenager drinks and I can't think of another unless its cola that you color with.
