Speak to me of DIY hair coloring.

I love what razorbits does to my hair, but my roots are showing and money, well, could be less tight. I think it's time for me to make the leap to doing it myself. I'm not looking to color it differently from the shade it's been since Full Time yet. Favorite brands? Tips?

When my hair isn't SFX colors, I use Wella haircolor from Sally's too. http://www.sallybeauty.com/Demi-Haircolor/WELLA10,default,pd.html

The demi-permanent is what I usually use because it's a lot nicer to my hair and uses an activator (that smells nice) instead of peroxide. It can't lighten your hair, but if you're wanting a change in tone or to go darker, it's nice. It doesn't fade as much as a semi-permanent color, but more than a permanent one (but still not much unless you're doing red, those all fade). I've found that because of the fading, the demarcation line when the roots start showing is a lot less noticeable and I'm able to go longer between colors.

They also have a permanent line that is good as well. :)
