Mackenzie answered Saturday April 30 2005, 2:05 am: No... it's not a "bad idea", at all. HoweveR, in my opinion, I think it'd be wiseR of you to simply invest moRe money foR a betteR quality job peRfoRmed by a pRofessional. If you choose to have it done at a salon, make shoRe to call aRound to spot the best deal. Goodluck deciding! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

cailoisa answered Friday April 29 2005, 4:00 pm: I've always heard that if your hair is light brown or lighter, do it yourself. But if it's auburn, brown, or black, you should have it done professionally. [ cailoisa's advice column | Ask cailoisa A Question ]

S_C answered Friday April 29 2005, 1:09 pm: If you're doing it YOURSELF for the first time, then YES! If there will be someone with you to help you that has dyed they're own or someone elses hair before then it's an okay idea. If you can afford to get it done proffesionally then that's what I'd do. If not then make sure someone is there to help you that knows what they're doing. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
orphans answered Friday April 29 2005, 12:54 pm: Well you will probaly screw up since half the people who do that have a screwed up hair color so to answer your question yes it is a very bad idea unless u want a screwed up hair color then if thats the case go for it have screwed up hair and you will leave it in 2 long and it will make your hair fall out so again i say dont do yourself do it professianaly!!
xOtWiXi answered Friday April 29 2005, 12:41 pm: Well, it's not a bad idea, however, getting it done professionally is a more sure way of it coming out exactly as you want it. If you get it done from the box, you have to worry about color, basically lol. But, you do save a lot of money by the box, and there's really not much of a difference at all, just follow the instructions precisdely - Hope I've Helped ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]
selectopaque answered Friday April 29 2005, 11:11 am: I've been dying my hair since I was around 15 or 16 (6-7 years). I have almost always dyed it myself and had no problems. The only time I did get it done professionally, is the only time I've had problems with color/texture/fading. I also have very dark, blackish brown hair, so don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it if you have dark hair.
I have often found that colors come out brighter when you have dark hair, compared to when you have blond.
Anyway, for a first timer, you should definately have someone help you out. It can be a little tricky to get the color evenly saturated throughout your hair, especially in the back. If your really worried, you might want to do the allergy test also. I've never bothered to do it, but the box always says to do it. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]
mrs_radcliffe answered Friday April 29 2005, 10:56 am: No its not bad lots of girls and women even men do it. Just read the instrutions and you should be fine.
soccurboi48 answered Friday April 29 2005, 7:38 am: No. It is not bad at all. Just make sure that the person who does it knows what they are doing and how long to keep the dye in your hair!Good Luck!
Karen answered Friday April 29 2005, 7:07 am: It depends on what color you want to dye it. Dying your hair from those hair dye boxes isn't really a bad idea but the color doesn't exactly come out the way you want it to at times and I've tried most brands for hair dyes and the color fades away quickly. Don't do it; even though you save a lot of money dying your hair yourself, you could go to hair salon and get it dyed professionally that comes out better. Do what you want to do.

MeLi<3 answered Friday April 29 2005, 7:06 am: no not at all i think its a fine idea..:-)
Daisy answered Friday April 29 2005, 5:25 am: No but if I were you I wouldn't go drastc like from dark to blonde as it won't work Try a subtle colour first and even though you don't think it will make a difference I promise you it will. Get a friend to help you too so she can see you are getting the dye in the reight places and not missing in any bits! Loreal is good. Highlights also make a big difference and sometimes look better that dying your whole head one colour [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]
juicyfruit answered Friday April 29 2005, 3:32 am: Depends how drastic of a change you're looking for but generally no it's not. I dye my own hair all the time whenever I want a change! Turns out great! :) Good luck. [ juicyfruit's advice column | Ask juicyfruit A Question ]
karenR answered Friday April 29 2005, 2:29 am: I always have, it took awhile to get the right color though. It depends on how fussy you are about it I guess. If you're willing to maybe get it to dark or to light then go for it. Otherwise if you want perfection go to a salon. It is easy to do though. Now that I have really confused you...good luck with it! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Kr4z3y_Ch3lly answered Friday April 29 2005, 1:25 am: yea it is..only cause 50/50 % chance it wont be the color you want. so go get it professionally done. but if you dont want to...then good luck with the box! but i dont recomend it..at all.
daisyswim answered Friday April 29 2005, 12:32 am: It's not a bad idea, but it's not the best idea either. The box is cheaper, but it may not look as good, wheil pro. is expencive but really looks good. It's really your call personally I wouldn't die my hair at all natural is better. Do what you think is best, you don't worry about ratting me
