Do you colour your own hair?

I went grey today! At the hairdressers.

Beautiful.

Today I gave up on going grey gradually and coloured my hair Chrome Violet. Brilliant! I look like me again!

Gave up colouring a year ago. One of my best decisions ever and I've saved loads of money!

I have never had my hair professionally coloured but I've done it myself since it started to go grey. For years I've used Clairol Nice n Easy gradually changing to slightly lighter shades.

I always use semi permanent which does not involve ammonia but in recent years it has become hard to find. The shelves are full of the permanent one which I really don't like so I stock up on the semi-permanent when I can find it. Has anyone else noticed this?

I would like to colour my hair but am so afraid of the bad reaction that one can have.

I saw an article once and it has actually scared the life out of me..

I think I would like to lighten my hair colour as I get older.

I have dyed my hair once when I was 18 and I was fine but that was prior seeing the article.

An old friend of DD's had a bad reaction and ended up in A&E with a face like a pumpkin. It had happened before though so she was silly to try it again. You should be all right if you do a skin test first.
