Do you colour your hair?

Do it in a salon or persuade Essbee to do it for me . Have never dared do it myself.

Nope - once you start, you have to carry on - it's expensive, it can go wrong and look crap and at the end of the day, the best hair colour is the one you were born with I think. Unless you've gone grey of course!

I started highlighting mine in my 20's and it just started to look rubbish so I grew it out - hair is much better now, better condition too.

I used to. And I used to do it myself, except once when I had it done.

Left it to grow out when it started looking a bit too blonde and I was worried I'd never see my natural colour without grey in it again if I didn't let it! Much prefer it now. Would possibly put a henna rinse on it, but other than that, can't be arsed.

yes - always done it myself - wouldn't pay salon prices unless I was wadded

I am presently resembling corn growing on tarmac

I love brunettes, am one really but look like sh** dark so go blonde.

Even old ladies in Church tell me it looks bad when I go back brown

Dh does mine, and have to say he does a good job bless him.

and it looks boootiful not naff at all

oh, do it myself. I'm a hairdresser but it's still awkward as hair is long.

a word of warning - don't look at the picture on the box, and be aware things like 'medium blonde' which is what I use is actually what I'd call light brown or fair - not blonde at all.

so true mistletoe. A mate was going to do hers dark blonde and I told her to do a strand test on her dyed blonde hair. It went sooo dark as her hair was porous.

ulysees .

I never have. Should do as my hair is now a v dark shade of blonde except for about two weeks in summer when it is like highlighted weetabix. I'm too mean to have it done in a salon though, and blonde needs properly-done highlights IMHO - can't do that out of a box, it looks like Sun-In.

(meant the tarmac quip btw)

dh does mine for me and he does a pretty good job.
