I don’t need highlights in my hair. Just look at the cowlick on the left side of my head. It obviously is totally gray now, because with the hair color I currently use, the highlights there are beautiful blonde or light brown.
So what am I doing? I use a semi-permanent hair color called “Natural Instincts”, which is a 10-minute formula. I use a light cool brown. If I want red highlights, I use golden brown.
With my dark colored hair, voila! I get automatic highlights where the gray was.
I’ve been doing this for about two years now, and it has saved me a boat-load of cash.

I agree. I’ve been coloring my own hair for about five or six years. For us brunettes, It is too easy. I don’t have the time to spend at the salon anyway.

I forgot to mention the time factor. It does seem to take them longer in the salons, plus there is the time driving back and forth.

I really like the “Cheap Cheap Cheap” headline! Keep them coming.

Agree with Ann. Too busy to spend hours at a salon when I can do it in 10-15 minutes at home myself. #oldageisnot
