+1 All of you women who swear by box dye should know that your hair looks flat and matte- and well, like a home dye job. Don’t fool yourself, it is very noticeable.[/quote]

Yep. The woman who looks good with a drugstore box dye job is a rare thing indeed. At least 90% of the folks doing it look like they have a helmet on their head. Not good at all. [/quote]

I mean, you just don't realize that some of the people who are dying their hair at home are doing so. You think their hair is either natural or that they get it done in a salon. I think some people have hair that lends itself better to home dying, because they are just looking to adjust the tone or brighten their hair a bit, and not to take it several shades lighter or darker or add highlights. My hair has natural highlights and I color it with Demi-permanent dye that just warms it up a bit and helps blend the grays.

I think one of the biggest mistakes women make with home hair dye as they age is not understanding that their hair and skin are changing and they need to change the color they are using. So many women keep using dark brown or red dye even though their skin is getting washed out and their hair is turning gray, and it creates this harsh contrast and is very aging. Same with blondes who don't realize their hair is responding differently to bleach/dye as it grays, and don't make adjustments. One of the advantages of a salon is that a good colorist will make these adjustments for you. But there are also bad colorists who don't do this well. You have to have a good eye for assessing your own appearance and not just get into ruts and think you can set your routines and never revisit them. Hair color and style, makeup, wardrobe -- everything needs to be adjusted not just as fashions change but as your body and appearance change.[/quote]
