Should I home-colour?

I use nice & easy shade 9b. It has several tones and I've used it over salon colour regularly. Old shower curtains on the floor and old nightie. The solution does not drip. Start at the hairline. Be careful to not get Vaseline on your hair or that bit won't colour. I don't bother with Vaseline and just rub off any dye on my skin. I think instructions say about a half hour but I leave it 45 minutes, even one hour on occasion

First time I did it I reckoned if it went wrong the hairdresser would soon fix it...... It was grand.

Good luck.

Feeling smug as I have continued with letting the grey grow through and apart from a few darker bits at the back, am very pleased with the overall silver/dark ash look. Glad to be grey!!
My "colours" have to be revised and anything beige or green consigned to the charity bag, but clear red, French navy, silver grey and white look much better than before.

Thanks for all the tips. Is it ok to put N and E on hair that is already salon-coloured, does anyone know?

Been doing it for years. A large old towel over pretty much everything. Vaseline around the hair line so you don't get your face dyed and a jolly good clean up while it is waiting to come off. Sometimes the drips don't show for a while so be careful around anything which is wood or whatever. Bathroom is all tiles so it comes off easily.

I'm another fan of N & E I've been using it for years. I have an old T-shirt style nightie which I always wear when applying it.
I also found the brush that hairdressers use to apply colour makes it easier to. You can buy them in most chemists Superdrug do them.

When you feel brave enough choose a shade from the light blonde range if that is the colour that you want to achieve I use 95 (I think) in cool blonde but there are a few which would work well.Anyway you have just reminded me mine own mop needs doing soon so will have to visit Savers as their prices are best on market.

OOh, 'a natural blend of three salon tones' sounds good. It was N and E that I was thinking of trying, too. I'll give it a go as soon as I am feeling brave.

gilly I have been a N&E user for many many years also,it is just the best on the market I think,NotTooOld it goes on just like a shampoo,you start from the sides where your hair is greyest and just gradually shampoo the colour over your hair,just do it gently and you should have no splashes or mess.

Yes N2O the one I use is a shaded (multi toned) colour. It's advertised as being "a natural blend of 3 salon tones" (Clairol nice'n easy) and I have to say that it does what it says on the tin box.

Is there a home colour that doesn't come out as just one block of colour, does anyone know?

I home-colour NotTooOld . I simply couldn't afford to pay a hairdresser. It costs me around £9 for 2 months worth of colour which is a fraction of what it would cost me at the hairdressers. I have got the process off to a fine art now. 2 old towels.(1 around my shoulders fastened with a grip and 1 on the floor on top of a plastic decorating sheet, a carrier bag hung on the taps for the used bottles and an old cloth or disposable wipe at the ready for any drips. Good luck

I'm not sure how colouring works if your hair is basically grey, I'm sure others will know. When I'm colouring mine I do try to make an effort and clean up any spills and splashes as I go and remove most of my clothes and cover the rest with a dark towel!!! Messy? Me???
