hi all wondering if there are any of you blondes out there who colour your hair at home and what you use ?  i have long hair which is mousey and always have highlights which costs a damn fortune and iam stuck in the hairdressers chair for hour and i hate it i put a colour on a few months ago it was a medium blonde and the roots came out gingery  now i have nothing against red heads i have a son and grandson with lovely red hair but not for me  i have tried in the past putting a light brown over the highlights and everyone asks if iam ill  so dont want to go brown then again dont want to be peroxide blonde either just a nice medium blonde   any thoughts ?

My daughter is blond but likes to be blonder. She uses the newish one called Olia (sp)'

It's gentle and gives her a good colour that does not look matt.

She also uses a blue shampoo to keep it from looking brassy.

hi honeybun is that the one with oils in it ? meant to be good for the hair

[honeybun]

Yes that's the one. I don't like my daughter using peroxide. This is very gentle but works really well.
I use it too but in a darker shade and its the only one I have used that does not make my scalp sting and takes ages to fade.
We really like it.
 

If you are inclined to go a bit ginger try a hair colour that has "ash" in the title. Ash brown, blond etc. It seems to cut down on the ginger effect.

My daughter was a hair dye aholic for a while, so we have used most types and colours including red purple and jet black.
She eventually had to have her hair professionally stripped so it's a case of been there and bought the T shirt when it comes to hair dye.

thanks for that hb  the bit about it going a bit gingery is what i want to avoid so i will look for something with ash in it

Your best bet is to go for a brand that says Natural or Natural Light Blonde, ash can go a bit muddy or grey looking and warmer colours as you say can go gingery.

Have you tied the Garnier Belle Blond series they are gentle, another one is Nice n Easy.

Here is a UK website who will make up and send you a shade that will suit you.

[Rowan]

Not yet but I tempted as they give full money back guarantee if not satisfied , I have read that hairdressers are up in arms about this site and are saying they are taking business away from them.

exciting    doesnt take alot   i will have a look on there see how you go about it yes i can see hairdressers not being happy with what they charge
