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.
