Be careful!
I dyed my hair when I was at uni (10 years ago :erm:).
Looked OK at first, but then faded after a while & turned ginger! :eek:
Can't remember the brand...
Have a Wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_coloring
nutrisse (or however its spelled) is quite good, it used to smell lovely too, but last time I used it it smelled kinda banana-like?
look for the brand that has different shades of black, I think its 100% or Live colour - they are my faves. :tu:
I generally get whatever hair dye is on offer, be it in boots, wilko, or superdrug! :blush:
Rub some vaseline around your hairline and ears otherwise the skin will be dyed too.

And what exactly's wrong with that :fit:

HI FV2007,
Could I ask a personal question, Why do you want to dye your hair black?
My son did his when he first went to Uni. When he decided to go back to his original blond, some 3 years later, he ended up as a skin head for weeks-(suits some I know, but unfortunately not him). Growing it out gave an the comic effect of his hair floating above his head.:Yikes:

Don't do it - black hair only looks good on those that were born with it... :erm:

I just wish I had some hair to dye these days! :bigcry:
That doesn't stop me :disturbd:
Don't do it, when your natural hair starts growing you could end up with a nightmare scenario of light roots and black hair :eek: (Says me who has just dyed her hair red :erm: )

I find it very hard to resist the temptation to tell people when they need their roots doing! teehee. :blush: says she with 2 inch dark roots and light brown / red-ish length that needs re-doing badly!

Pics please. ;)
If you are Ginger don't dye, nothing suits gingers, maybe blonde if you are lucky. Just be resigned to the fact you are ginger fo life ;) :D

I'm ginger,I like being ginger, I was black haired but didn't appreciate going grey in my 20s.:Yikes: Even my family now think I am naturally ginger. They even comment that I must have inherited it from Aunt Lavinia. Unfortunately I never met the woman before she passed away, maybe she is my spirit guide. :angel:
There has to be a joke there somewhere, died/dying, but it would probably be in bad taste so I won't go looking for it.
I got a few white hairs in my early 20's - most disturbing. I now have more than a few, and I must have tried every hair dye going - nothing covers it for long! *sigh*

Stress is the key to grey hairs IMO :dozey:
When i divorced, they came almost daily and hair started falling out :erm: The important thing is to stay as stress free as possible, and to learn to deal with things in the best way possible - preferably before they start sprouting through :)

Im ginga and over the years a few things have become apparent... Everyone calls me the same names and each person thinks they are the first (well they are pratts) and second those who take the rise out of the hair colour of someone else have there own feelings of inadequacy and need someone who stands out to mock in the vain attempt it will make them feel better in there own sad lives ;)

I've never understood why people take the mickey out of ginger hair (well, apart from the increased likelihood of going bright red at the merest hint of sun ;) ). Let's face it, it's not like we can do a lot about it...

Well said zinglebarb.:cleader: Gingers of the world unite:cleader:
I just dyed my hair, took two packs of 100%, Anton's help, and we still missed bits! gah! :rolleyes:
I like red heads..especially with green eyes..:naughty:
I would like to suggest to the OP that getting your hair dyed should be something you leave to an expert.Amateurs usually screw it up.If the professional screws up you can sue them and get them to put it right.So go consult a hairdresser.:tu:

blimmin heck coggy, I didn't think we'd done that bad a job... its only a few strands! :shrug: thank gawd there are no before / after / during pictures! hair dye is a bugger when it stains the bathroom :rolleyes:

Well, my eyes are mostly green ;)
Now I've got to make sure I'm at the next meet :naughty:

Yeah, but only the white bits - the iris is still pretty green(ish) :D

it looks a bit odd when you get an eye infection and one turns red though ;)
i say if you have grey or white hair, its cool , keep it...., it means you've have your stress and things can only get better :disturbd:
iv got a white beard but its a little mousy in places so i need to get me some more stress to balance it out :Yikes:
