I go to sally's and buy semi-permanent wella haircolor there. (blue box) It's cheap. You need the tube of color and some developer. Comes out 2 shades darker than you think it will so go lighter. That's it. I'm thinking I might go blonde for the fun of it. If I do, I'll do myself because I'm cheap and my hair is short. It will grow out fast if I ruin it and its hat season.
