People making money off of hair dye

[gruffalo28]

Not quite sure what my aibu is about exactly just that I was looking online tonight to see whether its possible to get permanent hair dye to cover my roots and saw people selling home hair dye kits for over £30 on ebay. Anyone else have any tips for getting some (light-medium brown). Haven't see much chat about hair dye hoarders so was a bit surprised it had all disappeared.

Depends where you are in the country. Stocks had run out by me in the west mids (along with lots of food)

But in the area of Bristol (where my mother lives) her supermarket is full of everything, including hair dye. She posted me some last week.

home counties. haven't been to the supermarket in past week (need to go now so will try but assumed there wouldn't be any)

I ordered some off Amazon. About 19 quid but for 3 boxes.

Good for people who make money there.

It's nowhere near essential, they bought products and gambled on supply and demand. If others are willing to pay silly amount, then why not?

My local supermarkets have lots of stock, and you can buy plenty of brands online. Or wait until the restrictions are over as no one wil see you in the meantime anyway

I went to my hair supplies shop in January and bought litre of peroxide and 4 tubes of my shade..I had a feeling this would run out.. didn't panic buy any bloody food though at that time so have struggled to buy food..at least I can queue with fab hair and no roots !!

embrace the grey/white/silver!
A few weeks/months of not going out is a great start to growing colour out, your hair will be healthier, if you usually get it done professionally you'll save tons of money.

When we can use busses again, you'll be offered seats.

It’s the people selling paracetamol at highly inflated prices that have got me.

I bought some when I did my essential food shopping earlier this week. There was plenty in the shop, no different to what they normally have, or so it seemed to me.

People will make money 'off' whatever they can. The basic supply and demand formula applies.
