Home Hair Dyers??

Ive bought clairol nice and easy, colour blend technology to use to dye my hair this time..... is it easy to do??? ive always got mine done by a hairdresser but its a blinking rip at the min!!

Im going to be brave I think and do it tonight.... has anyone used this or has an tips ???

I normally have foils done and have it bleached but this time ive gone for a colour... have I bought the wrong thing???

Ermm im not sure it hink blondes always trouble to do yourself but iv done it and every other colour imaginable so it is doable but iv always bleached it then used a toner, or used a pretty hardcore highlighting kit, which i think by the sounds is what you could have done with if its just for your roots. Im not sure having not used the one you have, worth a try though, maybe do a test strand ?? See what colour it ends up Theres usually a bit on the back saying whether its recommended for your natural hair colour, that should give you some idea on the strength of it

Hey hun, it will give you an all over colour which you've just said, so you do realise that you won't get the same result as hi-lights.

All I can advise is to protect your hair line with a little Vaseline in case of colour run. Wear old clothes and if you are doing it over the bath fill the bottom of bath with water as I find that it stops the colour from sticking, making sure to rinse off any colour splashes asap!

Good luck and let us know how it goes

 

[MrsBrightside]

yeah I knew it would give me an all over colour.... do I just wack it on and hope for the best then!!!!

christ my roots are shocking I look like a chav

Yep, make sure that you read the instructions as most do not require you to shampoo your hair first. You then just massage it in, make sure you wear the gloves

 

[MrsBrightside]
