I have never dyed my hair before. Is this one easy-ish to use for beginners?

Yes if it is Hydrience but it isn't being made any longer. I still buy it if I can find on internet. You can write to Clairol and they can tell you what you can use in its place. I'm a natural blonde (dirty blonde) and I use it only to cover what little grey I can see. If you can find it on the Internet make sure the contents are ok not old.

I'd say yes only because otherwise you'll get a triple tone Highlight. If you're ok with that then go for it. I had medium brown but went to black base and blue highlights (via bleaching the highlighted portion). I also had to retouch the blonde portion every two weeks.

yes it is a hair dye. I'm not sure about using it im not a hair dresser but my daughter is. From what i'be learned from her over the years it sound more like you need to bleach your hair to take the color out then apply the color dye to match the color you want to be. I think i would go to a salon if i were you. I'm just covering gray when i use it.

I use the conditioner that comes with the hair color immediately after coloring per instructions, then the next day and after that I use the only Wen daily. It's great, keeps your color from fading.

You will need to bleach it, which is included in the kit, but after that it will still fade within the firts few washes, leaving you with colored roots and just bleached out hair. The product isn't worth it, I'd try special effects hair dye or sallys pravanna dye.

I have a bit of gray. I used Henna for the first time and it covered everything beautifully. I'm a complete convert now. I have pretreated hair, years of dyeing. I'm not sure how well the Henna would grab a hold of untreated hair but for me, it's maintained it's color wonderfully. Can't recommend enough.

I had never bought hair color online. I was very satisfied with my Goldwell purchase. It seemed to be the same quality as what my hairdresser uses. I travel a lot and use this in between hair appointments with my hairdresser.

I would do the 40 developer. I kit is probably all that you need because it's a lot and it works pretty fast. If you just feel like getting 2 kits, you can do one as a back-up or use it later when you color your hair again.

It's very messy. It stains instantly. And yeah food color based dyes rinse out very easily. Mine went from vibrant purple to blonde roots and dark ends. It took my hair dresser 4 hours to get the color out of my hair.

I am a non- professional and I did it to myself.. You can do it but it is a long process and time consuming. It took me 4 hours or more but my hair is very thick and long.. So I recommend let someone help you for the first time and follow the instructions exactly. And you will like it..

NOOOOOOOO. Do nottt bleach your hair first. Apply over.What color do you want? My hair was about 4 colors when I last did mine. So I could tell you how it reacted with each.

It is a hair dye. You see results at the first use within 5-10 min. of shampooing it in. It was gentle to my hair but the main thing I do not like is that I have only been able to find it in the color black. Another product that only takes 5 min. is Just 5 Colorant for Women. You can usually find at drug stores and beauty supply shops, however, Just 5 for women contains peroxide.

I have platinum blonde hair and this is the toner that I use. I have to bleach my hair before I use this though so I would reccommend bleaching first and then using toner. I have to strip my hair pretty well before I use toner and if your hair has too much of a yellow tint then definitely bleach first otherwise you will probably have just a lighter gold/yellow as a result.

It works well and it is not too light. Its darker than a strawberry blonde. My hair is really fine and shorter than yours and I use half of a box each time. I would say a full box would be plenty for you. Here's a tip....when you mix it, let it sit for at least 90 minutes before putting it on your hair. Then you don't have to leave it on as long. I have lots of gray to cover so I leave it in about 45 mins after letting it sit for 90. Sorry I can't explain the color better....but I really like it.

I went with this color for the same reason. It worked out ok... To be honest, I used the whole thing.... But ended up going back to my Rita Hazan spray. Definitely pricier, but I felt it was more natural looking. I guess it depends where on your head you're using it. I use it on the hairline, with a parted ponytail, etc., so I need it as natural looking as possible. Hope that helps!

I have been using it for about a year. Since it contains no sulphates or other harsh chemicals, it does not affect dyed hair. I've found it leaves my dyed hair very shiny, soft and easy to style. You do have to use it per instructions for best results.

I just dyed over my henna in the salon and the result was very good. What you need to do if you want an even color is to go with the darkest shade you have on your head right now. Follow the instructions for your boxed dye and all should go well. If you still see Henna then don't, I repeat DO NOT try to lighten your hair. It would be virtually impossible and the result will be a hot mess.
