I know friends that have colored their hair for years and have no idea what their natural color would be right now. They do pay through the nose to get the colors and highlights. I want to spend my money on other things.
Stephanie - I'm with you there! Saves a bundle and it's easy to do! Years ago I used Henna on my hair, in my 20s, so I thought I could do it. Now my 16 year old wants her hair dyed, with red hightlights. Much be all the rage. I told her I do it to cover gray, otherwise I'd never color. I'm trying to get her think really long and hard over that decision! Someone told me to take her to the salon for the first color job. I said are you nuts - you can't match that! Silly advice! Crazy advice. You also can't put over the counter all over color on top of their color! So we do have a box of color sitting around for a test strand. I'm starting her out slow, level 2. I'm at level 3, because 2 did squat on my stubborn grays!!! But I chose a color very close to my natural color, I'm not secretive about coloring. I'll tell anyone I color but some people think I've never had gray hair. I think that's a compliment, at least I know I've chosen a color that's close to what nature gave me, almost. LOL
