    I know! I hate it too. The Country Colours stuff used to be sooo good.

    I have sucky hair atm too, trying to grow out a fringe which is never fun, plus yanno all prg and frumpy, not feeling all that spunky right now

    Maybe tell her your budget....i.e what can you do for $40 or $30 ????

    You could do the priceline thing....but do you feel confident enought? Wont u be spending at least $30 anyway ???

    If i were you, i would tell the hairdresser your budget and go from there....if she's any good she should be able to brighten it up a bit. And whilst your there, you should ask what colour (its a hairdressing number, not colour name) she uses.....you can buy the colour from a pro hairdresser supply and never have to go to hairdresser again...

    Good luck......Dh just lives with the fact that i need $85 every 2 months for my hair.....the arguments have stopped now.....he just gets over it....

    Yeah, I'm a bit torn about it mbear - part of me just wants her to do it cause I know it will look better, the other half has lots of other things I could be spending $85 on! I don't get any argument from DH, he doesn't care.

    I just wish it lasted longer, that's all. Semis wash out so fast.

    Maybe try Castings - it is also a semi - they do tend to turn out darker so choose something that liioks lighter. They make the hair very shiny. You ca buy it at coles, woolies, priceline etc

    Well I went in to price attack today and spoke to one of the girls there and ended up buying a Goldwell semi permanent colour. Will pop it in tonight or tomorrow and see how it goes. Feel a bit better knowing it's a 'professional' product, the colour I got is 6kr

    It cost me $17 for my haircut this morning (which is great! Have gone shorter again) and $21 for the colour, so if it looks OK I've saved myself at least $40. If not, then I'll just accept the fact that I'll have to fork out the money to get it done every 6-8 weeks! I go without enough, not sacrificing the 'do!
