I want to start dying my hair at home, any suggestions?

So about every 6-8 weeks I go and get my hair highlighted and touched up. Im 25 years old with a ton of gray hair!!! So i go and get light then highlights, just on the top part of my hair.

Well every time I do that it's about $125.00. I would really like to start saving money and do this at home? Is it worth it? I just want to go back to my natural hair color. I would love to save the money.

So can I just dye my hair at home with the natural hair color (Dark brown) and will it take me back to that plus my light high lights? My highlights are not htick at all. They are very thin and stringy.

So should I do it here at home and it will be ok, or should I go to the salon?

Im just so scared something will go wrong here at my house and it will cost a lot more when I arrive at the salon.

Many thanks! I am ery grateful for your answers!

You can always use semi-permanent (that is to say, it washes out) hair dye to experiment. It will be difficult to match your original hair color, but you may be happy just to darken your streaky bits so they blend in a bit better. Just remember that ashy browns help tone down reds, while reds sometimes fade to blonde, so you mightn't like to have a reddish-brown, either.

Another option would be to go to a health-food store, Akin's for example, and buy a henna and indigo - they have pre-mixed boxes, I think, to help with the correct shade. The henna part of the mixture will never fade entirely, but the indigo will wash out eventually, so that's a good way to test too, without chemicals that damage your hair.

You should wait until you have roots to dye or color your hair. Enlist the help of a friend. You can buy a store type of hair color if there are not any wholesalers in your area that sell to non licenced professionals. read the directions carefully. find a color that is similar to the color of your new color. Fold your hair to the side in layers and have your friend just put product on the root area. do not color your whole head. You will lose the effect of your expensive highlights. normal time to cover gray is about 35 minutes. good luck

Bec D is right. Use a medium brown or a medium ashe brown. I have dark brown hair and when I used a dark brown my hair turned black. Always go one shade lighter.

hey... i know how ya feel... i am 25 also and have a good bit of grey... but my suggestion is...DONT USE AT HOME DYES!! they are metallic and extrmely bad for you hair... and theres a pretty good chance that with the way you get your hair done and want it to be, you will have a lot of orange... and it hard to correct at home dye problems even in a salon.

if you just really really dont wanna go to a professional, go to your salon, and ask them if they will sell you a lil of the color and the highlight they use on your hair... i have done this before, and as long as youre careful and let the hair stylist instruct you a lil, it should work fine.....just steer clear of the "at home" stuff.... i worked at a salon and was a cosmetology apprentice and i cant tell ya how many times ppl came in wanting to correct at home jobs... and yes, it will cost more than when ya started.... i have even often seen when women use a light at home color, for highlights, and their hair has a gren tinge to it....it doesnt look good.

good luck and hope it all works.

your stylist will prolly sell it to you if its someone you go to regularly... depending on how much product you want, it should cost around $20- $40... they prolly wont sell it to you completely at cost, but at least your still savin a good bit of money.
