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.

Yes, and as my aunt always says (she's been a stylist for over 25 years), if you have darker hair, go 2 shades lighter than what you're looking for. The color on the box is what you'd get if you started with bleached hair. If your hair is brown, just be careful if you have roots that are a different color, you may end up with different shades of blonde that don't blend well. I'd probably also not recommend a warm blonde over dyed brown hair, as the result could come out brassy or orangey. Stick to cool, ash blondes, but know that it may take a couple times before you can really get your hair to lighten the way you want it to. Please note I am also speaking from experience (I've been dying my hair the gamut of colors for 15+ years), but am not a trained professional. I'm sure you will get more qualified answers, but I hope this helps a little...

YES!! I use the colorless one so it does not interfere with my colored hair...I do it myself at home. brings shine and volume and movement to my hair especially to the ends since I only color the roots but not the ends that frequently, so this is a nice option. I love 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!

Depends how much gray you have. Beware that the grey will pick up the red exclusively/ If you use RED henna, the drk brown is beautiful with red shading. But if you are grey you need to go 1 shade deeper, like chestnut. I used the RED on my daughters dark brown hair [ long] and she got a ton of compliments. If you are a little worried about to much red, just mix the henna with strong coffee, which is what I used to do when I worked in a salon . Henna does not lighten your hair, it only deposits color. Also the timing determines how bright it is. Keep the color on for only 45 minutes . Another factor is mixing the color and letting it set. If you mix and let it set for 1 1/2 to 3 hours before applying, your color will be redder. So if you mix the RED with strong lukewarm coffee and apply it to WET hair , let it set on your hair with a bag for 45 minutes , than rinse out, apply conditioner like it is shampoo[ this will help it set and will still clean your hair] you will have a knockout gorgeous color that will NOT be too red. Just some tips from someone that has done this many times[ still a successful hairdresser too.]Would love to hear how your hair looks afterwards!

I used it on my mom who has naturally white hair and it was absolutely beautiful! =]. Just don't condition your hair before you dye it only wash and make sure your hair is dry when you put the dye on and leave it on for about an hour

The trickiest part, I think, is just trying to section your hair so you color just the roots and not the ends. If you can do that, you'll be fine. I've used this kit a handful of times now and the only thing I did once was get a bit darker ends than I wanted, but it was because the hair was short in that section. The colors come our very luminous, which I love.

I used to be hairstylist, my advice is not to color it itself especially if u want it lighter like highlights it will most likely not come out the color you want it. However if you really want to color it you would have to bleach the pieces that u want highlighted and then tone the bleached hair to take the yellow tone out. It you could just buy a toner ( blue base to take orange/ red tone out or a purple base toner to take the yellow out). It's hard to do and it might not come out how you like it. Best thing is to take it to a hairstylist or buy a piece that comes in the color you want.

I suggest using something else my experience with henna was terrible my hair turned light blue than gray it took me a year to get some sort of normal back to my hair if you go to a professional you may have more luck and in the long run for me would have been cheaper cause after you use henna nothing else will cover it.

Be sure not to use any conditioner after you wash your hair before coloring. That seems to make a difference for me anyway!

It looks like you would be receiving three packages of the hair dye - which would we enough for three applications. If you apply every 6-8 weeks, like most people, that would last you between 4 and 6 months. If you color every two, like myself, then it will last you a month and a half. The Revlon Colorsilk is less than $4 at Wal-Mart and the Revlon Buttercream (which is the upgraded version and sooo much better in my opinion) is less than $5. At less than $4 a box Wal-mart is a better deal than the three packs here on Amazon. Just something to consider!

I just mix it in like any other hair coloring and it comes out fine. Just work it into a section at a time and then make sure all hair is covered with the coloring solution.

I was able to color it with a bleach lightener. The color came out pretty good. I received lots of compliments and not one knew I was wearing a lace top. I did not experience any tangles or shedding. Treat this as if if were you own hair and you should be fine. I've ordered it twice and both pieces were the same and the quality is very nice for the price. Hope this helps

I bought 2 just to be safe. Mine is thick, but not terribly long. I ended up mixing the color with conditioner. You don't need to mix with a developer (or toner as someone else said... not sure why you'd mix it with a toner), because it's more of a stain than a dye. It is super dark if you put the color straight on your hair, so I'd suggest mixing with conditioner to lighten it up and get the bright purple.

I am a hairdresser who has been using this off and on for about 20 years. I'm a natural level 5 . I have mixed white now especially on the front right part, only about 25% grey throughout I would say. I have fine curly hair. Do not use heat or a cap. It needs to dry on your head. 1 hour is perfect. Do not shampoo out, just rinse though all the way through till water runs clear. I do not shampoo for several days, though you can after 24 hours. I use this and occasionally Clairol soy creme permanent haircolor in between henna treatments with no problem.

I have the same as you and age wise also. I have used this in the last and I liked it. It will make you light blonde not gray. I have naturally light hair before gray. Leave on longer for better gray coverage and if your non gray hair is not too dark.
