[QUOTE="donna723, post: 365091, member: 1883"] I've colored mine at home for years - I never could afford to have it done in the salon. I've always used the Nice & Easy permanent color and have been very pleased with it. I get it in the Dollar Store or at Walmart and for $7, you can't beat it! And the Nice & Easy comes with a tube of wonderful conditioner that makes your hair feel like silk. I have to use the color fairly often because my hair grows really fast, and if anything, I think my hair is in better condition now than it was before I started coloring it, and there are no fumes! When I first started coloring it, I was maybe only 5-10% gray and I might have left it alone if it was a pretty shade but it was the most butt-ugly shade of steel gray you've ever seen! I started out with a shade that matched my natural dark brown shade. But over the years it has lightened to where it would be a solid light gray all over if I grew it out. I wanted it a bit lighter but my hairdresser suggested not doing it all at once because it might not come out well. She said I should buy one shade lighter and just do the roots with the lighter shade and the rest, if I don't put color on it, will lighten a bit on it's own. I thought you'd be able to tell that the roots were one shade lighter but it blended very well. It took a while but by doing this it is now two full shades lighter than it was and in a few months I'm going to go still another shade lighter. [/QUOTE]
