First time hair dye help
I've never dyed my hair before (I think I am the only person I know who hasn't) Anyway I have medium-dark brown hair and now I have a few grey hairs that really seem to stand out against my hair colour.
It's not too bad but I'm guessing now is as good a time as any to dye it. It will have to be done eventually. I'm just looking for any advice at all as I haven't got a clue....so any brands to go for, any colours that are good, any application or maintenance advice. Any good tips really as I genuinely have zero knowledge on this! |

You're always best with colours bought from salon supplies shops. If you insist on buying something from the chemist, then get one lighter than your natural colour!
If you just have a few grey hairs here and there, and you think you can get away with it, I'd suggest you just paint the dye on them as opposed to doing a full head. I'd put off doing the full-head carry on for as long as you can! |

Nice and Easy is very good. Either that or a trainee night where trainees are supervised. Personally I would go the Nice and Easy hair dye route, the conditioner in the box is to die/dye for

No! No Nice&Easy crap, and no need to spend a fortune at a salon either. Just go to Sally Salon Services or order online - get something decent like Koleston or Majirel that matches your natural colour and 20vol peroxide, mix a little in a bowl, put gloves on, and use your fingers or a dry mascara brush to apply to the few errant greys you have.
You can worry about a salon visit and full-head colour when the greys get really obvious. |

I am in same position as OP except my hair is blonde and I have one patch at right temple. I can tuck it behind my ear to hide it but there is going to come a point when I will want to style my hair differently. Would your method work on a streak by temples. How do you get right up to the hairline. How do you avoid irritating skin? I am a hair dye Virgin too.
Incidentally, as a dye virgin, you should always do an allergy test first! Mix a tiny bit of colour, apply it behind your ear, and leave it for 24 hours. |
