Do you home dye your hair?

Still damp from shower, but no damage. I've home dyed for 30 years, no issues.

Yeah I dye mine dark brown which is my natural colour to cover my greys. You’re lucky if you only have a few at 48! I’m 46 and while it’s not that bad yet, I’m definitely troubled by grey along my parting and at my hairline particular around my temples. It looks natural enough now I think but at some point I’m going to have to think about how I’m going to approach this longer term. I don’t want to be dark brown in my sixties when it will start to look unnatural if not before

I am 47, had very dark hair and started dyeing it at home about age 30. I made a mess of it and ruined towels and paint work in bathroom. I then had it dyed at the hair dressers for last 12 years.

It started looking too dark and artificial and didn't suit me any longer so I had grey blending done.

It suits me much more and no more being beholden to hiding the strip. It feels quite freeing.

I think currently, embracing the grey and "styling it out" is sort in on trend..so feel lucky in my timing. I wish I'd done it sooner

I use Surya Brasil Henna Cream. I only have a little grey but it works to cover that for now. I like that henna is a good product for the condition of your hair and it always feels shinier and thicker after I've used it. I do keep it on longer than it says on the pack and the colour seems to last a month or more.

I've always done my own i think ive only ever had highlights at hair dressers once.

Im currently champagne blonde from medium to dark brown. All I need to do is my roots with a none bleach then I use a gloss to blend it out. Roots are coming through more grey each time.

Key important things for it looking natural is your current hair colour and it's undertone, and your skin tone.

I have always coloured at home. I have switched from box dye to using e-salon. You can send them pictures to geo colour match your hair.
first time is all over colour and then I do roots only, with a lengths every 3rd dye.
my roots are showing more grey now so I do it every 6 weeks, but also depends how close to natural colour you use.
my hair is also quite fine, so I find I only actually need to use half the colour and developer each time.
i always use a tinting brush and bowl (did have a teenage sat job in hairdressers, so was used to watching root colour being applied).

I have long hair and I couldn't face trying to dye it at home. I do dye my eyebrows at home to hide the grey and harmonise with my lighter hair. I caught a glimpse of myself in a photograph with cascading blonde hair and a set of fierce black eyebrows and realised I had to do something.

Yes, but I lighten and colour my hair, I don’t dye it. 😂

I’m a Pro and buy pro brand colour products from the hairdressing wholesalers. I have very short hair so it’s not an issue if I overlap the product occasionally.

Castings

Yes, always. It looks nice. Modern box dyes have different tones in them. I've been using a semi every 6 weeks or so, no ammonia so my hair's fine, in fact it seems to condition it!

I use the semi permanant one that should wash out but doesn't but it does fade enough that I don't get a line if I don't do it. I use a slightly reddish, warmer colour over my boring brown hair so that it looks like I'm doing it for fun, but not loads different so there are not roots. Only a bit of grey at the edges at the moment though

Yes. Looks very natural. Matches my hair exactly.
I use eSalon and Nutrint (from Holland & Barrett). I do not need to do my whole hair. Just roots. Always just roots. About 10% - 15% grey.

Super easy, looks natural and saves a lot of time. It’s not the money for me it’s the time spent sitting in a chair doing nothing. I hate it so I do it at home. Doesnt look blocky - this isn’t hair dye from 1990. Why wouldn’t you do it - they make it pretty idiot proof (not saying at all that you are just saying it’s hard to go wrong).

I have dark hair and have smattering of grey so I dye it.
Usually dye auburn then when grown out I like the effect of the darker roots and use magic retouch to take edge of the greys so don't have to dye as often.

Yes, Clairol box dye in Ash Brown which is a match to my natural colour. I do it to cover up greys about every 4-5 weeks. It's so easy though I have very straight hair so it's easy to comb through and get even coverage. It makes it looks glossier too, at least in the first couple of weeks (that may be the colour seal conditioner that's included in the box).

I've had it done at the hairdresser in the past but it costs a small fortune and doesn't look any different to when I do it at home, so box dye it is!

Yes, ash blonde. Hairdresser says I do a fabulous job a d can't beleive I do it myself

I tone my hair at home and will use semi permanent fun colours but not box dye. I'd rather see the hair dresser every 3 months than have to re do it every month or more as I'm a good 75% grey on my parting but dark underneath. My hairdresser is really good at grey blending and working with my silver growth so it looks seamless. The idea is that I can go longer and longer between sessions. It's more a helping hand to growing it out than full on highlights or low lights.

Yes, usually red, but I have a nice purple dye in the cupboard I'm itching to use.

I cant dye at home I have too much white hair and it doesn't cover it. I have balyage at the salon to avoid obvious roots. My white hair doesn't suit me and makes me feel older than I am.

I use a Loreal Cadtings mid brown, its great.
I hate the hairdresser and couldn't be sitting for hours for a brown all over cover.

I used to get highlights and lowlights from a salon, but about a decade ago I started finding my roots were so grey, I needed more frequent colour than the every couple of months I was getting it done. I tried a home dye silver shade to embrace the grey but it just made me look older, so now my hair is a dusky, pastel light pink colour. I have never had so many compliments about my hair!

I'm really not loyal to brands , I just get whatever is on offer. Superdug tend to have offers on.

Yes, but my hair is red (naturally) and I use henna. My colour had faded and was not as bright copper as when I was younger, plus I have a decent amount of white particularly at my hairline and parting which I hate - I’m not ready to embrace the natural grey yet! I never particularly loved the colour my previous hairdresser made it, wasn’t quite what I felt it was naturally when I was younger, plus it cost a fortune, took ages and I feel like I start noticing my roots from about week 3 - I don’t have the time and money to go to the hairdressers say every 4 weeks. Henna seems to have restored it to what I believe was my natural colour when I was younger, costs v v little to touch up my roots and has the added benefit of actually being quite conditioning for the hair.

your hair does look really pretty!

Yes, I haven’t been to a hairdresser in years.

This is mine with about 6 weeks of regrowth.

I use Clairol Nice n Easy 6RB.

In between colours I use Schwarzkopf Live Colour semi permanent in Aztec Copper mixed with a hair mask, to refresh to colour as red fades so fast. To cover greys in the regrowth I use L’Oréal Magic Retouch spray.
