I go to the beauty supply store and buy my color in bulk, L'Oreal Light Auburn 6.6 and I buy their (L'Oreal) cream developer. You use equal parts (if you use 2 oz of color you have to use 2 oz of ANY cream developer - doesn't have to be L'oreal's) and you have to section (just like the OLD way of doing it) your hair in quarters first and apply color to the 4 sections you have just created, and then 1/4 inch sections from there to apply the color to each very thin section - to the roots first for 25 minutes and then you bring it all out for 15 more minutes IF it's a touch-up. If it's the first time you are ever applying color, you have to leave it on everywhere for 45 minutes!! There's also an 800 number on their (L'Oreal) products for any help you need with live operators!
L'Oreal does still test on animals I do believe, and that's a shame, but their color (end result) just seems to be the best, in my opinion, and for decades I have thought this. Many are trying to get them to quit testing on animals though, and I support that also!
Also it's one-quarter the price buying the color directly from Sally's Beauty Supply (any beauty supply store) versus the combo box that is sold in the grocery store or pharmacy (that's about $9 for a one application combo in my area versus $2.69 per each 2 oz bottle of color from Sally's).
Hope that helps (HTH)

I want to start coloring my own hair. Loreal, is it easy to use?
Loreal will cover the gray. Try an ash blonde shade. SM
That is what I do and when my white starts growing in at the sides, it blends in nicely. Looks like highlights.
Professional color looks amazing, but costs a fortune. You can do it yourself, but don't use the inexpensive brands, stick to the better ones. They will cover the white.
There's a coloring book on e-Bay. sm

Hair coloring question
I realize this is shallow compared to some of the posts on this board, but I am sick of my white hair. I went for a "consultation" at a spa this a.m. and they want a fortune even to just highlight it.
Anyone do their own coloring with L'Oreal or Clairol? Does it cover the white? Someone told me that over the counter coloring doesn't work on hair as white as mine.
I am 38 and have been coloring my hair for at least 15 years - sm
I started going gray very early. I tried the stuff in the box, but have had much better results with professional products. Luckily for me, my sister is a licensed cosmotologist and can get the good stuff at cost. Have you considered going to a beauty school, if there is one near you? There are instructors there who can give you advice and then the students can do the processing under their guidance for a lot less than in a salon.
Food coloring in the bowl....they LOVE it!
