I have had my hair highlighted for years now but I have gone to Uni and don't have the time, money and don't know of a good salon nearby so I want to buy an over the counter hair colour.
I have not had it highlighted for about 2 months now and it has 2-3 cm of root. My hair has 3 shades in it, they are, blonde, brown, and a dark caramel colour. I want to go a light brown copper tone (like Mary Kate Olsen) using something like Loreal Experte.
So can I use an over the counter hair dye or must I go to the salon?

I am a hairsylist/makeup artist from dallas. DONT buy somehing from the grocery store. If you must do it yourself, I would suggest sallys. You control the color that way. Get something like a 7N and a 7BG, with a 10 volume devolper. Mix equal parts. This color would be a caramally pretty color! but still be in the blond family!

Over the counter hair dyes are so much improved over the years that even a caveman can do it. (I'll probably get sued over copyright infringement-lawyers can't take a joke). I have ALWAYS used over the counter. Just put on an old t shirt and cover the floor with something. Be slow and easy your first time or you'll make a mess. If you are timid about doing this find a rinse (#1) instead of a permanent dye. You will be improving your hair by doing this-highlighting, stripping and all other chemicals you put on your hair is damaging. I just went back to my original haircolor, love it. I look like me. All of the good dyes have a conditioner package inside. Good Luck but you won't need it. PS. I brush my hair back, all of it, you can see in between the rows, run the tip through the rows and run a finger over it as you go-less running. I do the whole front and sides then throw my head over and do the back-then bring all of your hair up on top of your head and dye that part (the ends) then I go thru it all with a wide comb over the tub, of course this only applies if your hair is not short, if it's short it'll be a snap.

to be the best bet, go to a salon, you dont want green hair or somethin. if you want an all over color then you may not get it from an over the counter product
