Summary: It
might seem like something messy to do and you
might wonder if you will get good results, but the
hair color kits these days are very easy to use
and produce good results, though not salon
quality, as anyone can understand. And when
you do it yourself, you have the flexibility of
changing your colors more often - as does
Lindsay Lohan. (Related:

It is, of
course, better to have it at the salon when you
absolutely must have perfect results (prior to wedding,
important job interview, or even a date), but it is fine
to do it yourself at home for most other situations
since the price difference can be huge. At-home hair color kits cost between $2.50 to $9.00 and one color highlighting kits are about $15. This is considerably lower than the salon prices.
At-home hair color is easy to
apply (seek the help of a friend or family member if you
have difficulty reaching the back of your head), and if you follow the instructions, it is safe and not so bad for your hair. Be careful not to over-process your hair. Avoid this by not
changing color
frequently so you will only need to retouch
the roots and not the whole hair. |
 Before you buy a specific brand check, on the Internet which ones have higher rating among users. You can check ratings on
iVillage or
epinions. According to
iVillage, the best permanent hair coloring kit is Garnier
Nutrisse. One of the best semi-permanent hair colors is L’Oreal Preference. Also with high points is Clairol
Hydrience. But if you want to use what
Teri Hatcher
uses to cover her gray hair, try
Clairol Nice 'n Easy.
The one that gives better color is Feria of L’Oreal, but it leaves the hair very dry and it smells a lot. Ironically, it is also one of the most expensive ones.
The highlighting kits for home use are good, but in our experience, it is very difficult to get salon-quality results.
