Before I get into it I must admit that because I am a brunette this posting is going to be biased...
I find that brunettes can get away with an all over color or a "single process". And for those of us that are graying we have to keep up the coloring at least every eight weeks or so just to keep the darn gray at bay. Having your hair colored in a salon every 8-12 weeks gets very expensive and would blow many of our budgets. The solution dye your hair at home! With the right product and tools it can look almost as good as a super fancy salon. I have tried out many of the available products available at local pharmacy's and all though I have been disappointed a few times my persistence has paid off and I have saved a ton of money while still getting great results. Here are some of my helpful hints for dying your hair at home!

- Look for ammonia free and peroxide free brands as this is what turns brunettes "brassy".
- Stick with the "C" (cool) coded colors if you are trying to steer away from that brassy/red color or that "she obviously dyed her hair at home" look.
- Choose a shade one step down from what you want. The color always seems to come out darker than it says it will.
- If you have gray hair even just a little leave it on for the longer amount of suggested time. (Gray hair is stubborn)!
- I also have an inexpensive comb that I use to brush the hair color through my hair so that it gets spread evenly.
*My favorite (so far) is Clairol-natural instincts brass free 5C.
