I have never dyed my own hair, so texted my hairdresser to ask what colour I should buy. I sent her a photo of the box, she replied the colour was a little different to what I normally had, and was likely to turn my grey hair orange or pink!!!!!!! When I told her I was no longer going to use the dye, she very kindly offered to make up my usual colour and leave it on her garden wall for me to collect. I had to enlist the help of my 17 year old son to do the back, but the result is amazing. She wouldn't take any money, so I left her a bunch of roses. I have a bob without a fringe, so can cope with the length.
