hair dyee
14/f
well i think it's time for a change so i want to dye my hair. becuase right now i have like half grown out light brownish highlights and it looks like crap. my hair is about a medium brown, kind of long. it's boring me. i want like a brownish/reddish color (just a hint of red though. auburn maybe?) but anyway, i've never dyed my hair before so i really don't know where to start. basically i'm wondering what is the best product. i'm looking for something that's:
-easy to use
-natural
-not too harsh
-comes out evenly
& all that stuff.
so any help? thanks

Ok coming from experience dying your hair yourself is not the best thing. If you want to do it at home, and not pay the price of a professional then get a friend thats dyed there hair before (maybe even several times). Then go online and print pictures of the shade you want. Go to the drug store, or grocery store and take the pictures. Match the shade with the boxes. Most likely there will be several different companies with the same shade. If your friend is there you could ask her to help you look too. Garnier has cool shades and it isn't harsh. Revlon is also a great brand, and that comes out evenly. But if you want the best look then go to a hair dresser that you trust. Don't go to a cheap place. Usually they have a board of different hair samples and then you can pick your shade. Plus they will take the time on your hair and they've done it before! :) Good luck!: )

Because you have virgin hair (hair thats never been dyed) then DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF. It's harder to dye your hair back to your natural color/grow the color out then get it right the first time. So go to a salon! They will be able to have what you want and do it correctly. Then, once your hair has been dyed once or twice by them- you can start doing it yourself.
The hair salon woman will be able to mix a color you want and develop it. However, if you really want to do it yourself I suggest L'Oreal because their colors are more rich and have many different tones. Make sure you mix the developer and color right before you are about to put it in your hair. Don't wear anything you really like that can be reuined by the dye. And so you don't get dye marks around your neck, put a rich lotion on your neck, forhead and around the ears.

I dye my hair that colour, and I've found that what I like is Natural Instincts. It's a semi-permanent, so it fades with time. For me, it takes a month or two to wash out. Also, it makes my hair feel really healthy.
What's good about it? If you don't like the colour, it'll fade soon. Also, it doesn't leave you with funny-looking roots, since it fades very naturally.
I'm a total amateur at this, so if I can do it, anyone can!
