Let me in on "Rules for Home Hair dying Success"

[theladylovescupcakes]

have mousy brown short hair and quite fancy a change, but nowt too drastic. Help me choose the right product and get the right result! Are there ten commandments to successfully dying your hair at home? TIA.

No-one!? Planning to buy some dye tomorrow so don't want to make a mistake.

They always turn out darker than the pic on the front , I would b really wary it's so hard to get the right colour! Buy something that looks like your hair colour on front, even a tiny bit lighter x

Its all about the numbers.
I asked my hairdresser for advice after telling her I wasn't going to pay her £50 to do it
She told me what numbers to go for to avoid going too dark as that kept happening cos I was looking at the pic in the box.
I think the higher the number the lighter it will be.Hang on will google.
