i just cant justify spending out 70quid for the same job a 5 quid dye does. ive seen the horror stories but there are risks with everything in life.

I always home colour. But I've always had short hair. Now I've grown my hair out, it's getting a little more difficult to do myself. Mainly because it's so thick.

I've promised myself that once I get it to the length I want, I'm going to the hairdressers to have it professionally coloured. I want it purple. Proper bright purple. My hairdresser, mad as a box of frogs, texts me every week to see if it's long enough yet! He says he's sick of red hair dye, and want's to see a different colour!!

Always do my own, even the highlights when needed. If it goes wrong , you can always lighten/darken it with another one (unless it goes green!)

Have always done mine myself even the blonde it is now

Will admit the first time was a little scary though

But after doing it for about 25 years and all the colours under the sun guess I've had a little practice now lol

Now mine is black and shorter I do it myself. When I used to have long hair and highlights I used to get it done at the hairdressers. It's £4 for the dye and my mate cuts it once every 6 weeks for £10, I used to love going to the hairdressers but £60 a time was bad enough when I was working. Just can't afford it now x

I actually don't know how they justify the price in a hairdressers, most of the time you're just sat there waiting for the colour to take, while the hairdresser fits in another 2 clients!

I use home hair dye mainly because it costs a bomb and I get charged extra because my hair is long and thick and they refused to dye it the colour I wanted so they loose out and it cost me about £20 cos I normally need four lots of the stuff.

Looks lush cute

I always dye mine, not brave enough to go red. Our new uniform policy in work dictates no wild colours.

Hairdresser cuts and I colour, although I've not done it for a few months now as I wanted to try going back to my natural colour for a while, but my OH and kids are now pointing out all the 'natural highlights' so I'm off to the shops for a box of colour today or tomorrow, getting hair cut on Saturday so I'll be doing my colour very soon to cover up those highlights ... lol

"Looks lush cute

when i went bright pink i was pulled up by management and asked not to re dye my hair that colour once it needed changing as it was 'unprofessional'

however all the clients i looked after made comment on how it was such a cheerful colour and was known for my hair rather than the 'tubby' one lol

Not only do I colour my own hair I cut it as well. Hairdressers are a luxury I cannot afford now.

I go to the hairdressers to have it coloured.

But I want it pink for the Valentines Ball I'm going to. I need it to be a semi permanent colour and ill just keep washing it until the pink comes out before I'm next in work.

I can't get to the hairdressers so ill have to do it myself. What is the best product to use for this.

I've never dyed my hair, as in a full head dye, all I've done is touched the roots up the past few years to cover the grey, I just buy one of the root kits from the shop and do it myself, usually about 3 times a year, can't see the point in going to to hairdressers just to covet my roots to match my own colour, if I had ever gone to a full head total change of colour I would but not to just cover my grey

£70! What hairdresser do you go to?

I get mine done at the hairdressers (necessity unfortunately to hide the grey), it costs me between £28 to £35 depending on whether I've had foils, this includes a cut and blowdry.
