Rainy, I used to go to the hairdresser and pay $250 a go for a cut and colour, only to find that within a couple of weeks the colour had dramatically faded, even when using colour shampoo. These days I havent had my hair dyed at the salon for over a year, as I buy packets and do it myself and get the exact same result. However if I wanted foils, I'd be off to the hairdresser. I actually need to go soon because I want to build up some foils for my wedding day.
I've been coloring my own for many years. I have had numerous hairdressers tell me I do a fantastic job of it. I used to use the kit you can get that you do an allover color then do your highlights but I've found since getting some resitant greys whilst pregnant it doesn't work well on the greys. I've also tried one of the permanent Loreal ones - can't remember which and again it didn't cover the grey. Damn being over 40!!!!
I'm now looking for a new brand. I'm about to try the latest version of Nice N Easy. It states it covers even the most resistant greys so we shall see.
Bit of both, but I prefer going to the hairdresser. I have done every kind of colour you can think of myself at home, but getting a cut and colour at the hairdresser is so much more of a treat, plus my hair always looks so much better than when I do it myself.
Ive always done my own, since i was about 16 when i had streaks done by a male hair dresser who nearly scalped me in the process! Too strong for his own good he was!! But yeh easier and cheaper to do it myself.
DIY at home for me! I am actually going to dye it tonight .. when the kids go to bed .. sometimes it looks great .. other times .. not so great It's luck of the draw!
