Sometimes I absolutely love going into the drug stores and walking by the haircolor isle. I get to listen to women talk back and forth about what color they should do, or someone looking very lost looking at all those boxes of colors not quite sure what color to get. The reason I like this so much is that I, as a color specialist, find this very lucrative, because I charge $100.00 an hour to fix what the box says is easy for anyone to do. These messed up colors! Let me give you a few words of advice. When you want to color your own hair, stay realistic with the amount of hair levels that you want to change. Store-bought colors only go up 2 levels. For example, if you’re a dark brown you should only go up to a medium to light brown. If you desire to go any lighter than you need to save yourself some money and call a professional. I also want to tell you that if you pick a color and you like it, stick with it. When you do your regrowth, only do the roots. If you continue to pull the color through, it will only succeed in darkening it, because the rule of color is that, color over color goes darker. This is why you see women walking around with bright roots and dark ends; not a pretty sight. Listen, my biggest suggestion when wanting your hair colored is please go to a professional to save alot of time, embarrassment, and quite possibly, money.
