Got my hair dyed for the first time last weekend and I absolutely love it! I was quite apprehensive initially and worried when the hairdresser washed out the dye and my roots were ginger but once it had dried it looked amazing.
Not sure what brand it was but it is a semi-permanant dye in the colour 'Cherry". At £25 per application, if it fades quickly I will have to look at doing it myself as that every few weeks (on top of getting it cut) would be a bit much for an unemployed student.
