Can't you try a section of hair first to see if it works? I'd make it ten minutes if that's what it says, but worthwhile testing first. |

I can't understand destructions for anything.... and you know how it is.... you have to keep shoving glasses on so you can read.... they steam up in the bathroom.... no.... destructions are no use at all! |

Is there someone you can practice on first!!!! I have never been brave enough to do my own,and rely on my trusted hairdresser. |

Jane, I have done it a few times...I wouldn't risk it if I was changing the colour drastically, especially as my hair is long and I would miss bits at the back :) |

Rose, I used to use Nice n Easy permanent one but for a year now have used the ten minute one which is Herbashine I think, around £4 + but easier to use, altho I always put mine on with a tinting brush after mixing in a bowl, rather than use their applicator. It fades naturally so I use it every couple of months or longer. I use an ash blonde one but because I always had a lot of red in my hair so therefore red pigment it comes out strawberry blonde/pale ginger for the first few washes till it tones down a bit. They recommend using Fructis shampoo to preserve the colour and it's on offer at the mo in Budgens. |
