| I have been having my hair colored and highlighted at salons for years, but now I am thinking about trying color at home. Can anyone recommend a good brand? I am looking for a med-dark brown. Thanks. |

Hi Virginia! I've tried so many drugstore brands--the one I always come back to is L'Oreal Excellence Cream haircolor. I use the light brown shade and it seems the most natural and covers gray well. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a haircolor, though...more vibrant color; cover grays; going lighter or darker; etc. I know one of the members here *carekate* highly recommended a certain brand...can't recall which one  , but I think you have to buy the color and developer seperately. Maybe try a board search for hair color and see what comes up. Good luck  |

| the thing with hair dye is that what works for one person can be disastrous for another. L'oreal is a good brand to start with. what carekate recommended was from a beauty specialty store (sally's?) rather than a drugstore. it is definitely more professional and could have better results. |

I worship at the alter of Wella Color Charm hair dyes available at Sally's beauty supply stores. I wrote a considerable review/ode to it a while back which you can read about here: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=7658&highlight=wella+color+colour+charm
It is THE SINGLE GREATEST AT-HOME HAIR COLOR THAT I HAVE EVER USED, period. |

I always use Loreal products...although lately I have been shelling out the big bucks to have it done professionally  I  love my new hairdresser and she does a fabulous job on my hair! |
