So if you’re not already, pop into some old clothes, get the gloves on and please Lord, just follow the instructions!
L’Oréal Paris Excellence Crème
L’Oréal Paris Excellence Crème includes a triple care colour ritual: colouring cream, gentle post-colour shampoo and a lightweight mask. The product spruiks 100 per cent grey coverage from root to tip, which is no small feat when aiming for a flawless blonde blend.
Clairol Nice’n Easy Frost & Tip
If you want something that’s reminiscent of salon highlights, reach for Clairol‘s Frost & Tip. The kit contains highlighting powder, developing crème, intensive conditioner, as well as a highlighting spatula, hook and mixing tray. It’s serious business.
Schwarzkopf Live Colour in ‘Champagne’
Suitable for all shades of blonde, Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour in ‘Champagne’ is a semi-permanent mask that will add shine and rose gold highlights. Lasting up to eight washes, this formula has no peroxide or ammonia, and is enriched with B5 and macadamia nut oil, so it’s more of a nourishing treatment and colour boost in one.
John Frieda Precision Foam Colour
John Frieda Precision Foam Colour is best for those who find dye hard to handle. The non-drip formula makes it easy to spread and cover every strand of hair, so you are guaranteed a salon quality result. It’s a great one for those tackling colouring solo, as you don’t need any tools or help from others.
Schwarzkopf Nordic Blonde T1 Icy Platinum Refresher Mousse
For those just after a quick and easy colour refresher, Schwarzkopf Nordic Blonde T1 Icy Platinum Refresher Mousse will neutralise unwanted brassy yellow tones, and provide a silvery sheen. The gentle formula will last up to four aplications, so you can dose up weekly if needed.
Garnier Nutrisse
For those dealing with dry hair, consider Garnier Nutrisse. The formula is enriched with avocado, olive and shea oils to protect and hydrate as it colours. The non-drip creme has a fresh fragrance and it’s super easy to work through the hair. Perfect for a first-timer!
Really like the Nordic Blonde very nice Colour. Looks Fabulous.
I colour my hair as needed to cover my grey hairs. I use L’Oréal Castings, which is a semi permanent colour. I’ve been using it for years and always been happy with it. I use light brown, which is close to my natural colour.
Oh now I want to change hair colour
Don't dye my hair but once the greys come out I will
Blond colour is something I'd prefer to leave to the professionals. Here's hoping salons can re-open soon!
I get my hair coloured at the hairdressers, my hair will look horrendous by the time hairdressers open and I have time to get to one. All the hairdressers in my local area have closed.
I do just some highlights strategically hand painted (depending how I part my hair, where I used to get lighter parts usually when I used to sun worship…eek)) for "sun kissed look". Always at home, as I get least to none damage vs at the salon. Scw. Omegaplex my fave. Before was Loreal casting.
I’ve been dying my hair for years. I keep thinking I should be lighter so while I’m working from home I’m not colouring (root spray if I go out). Once this is all over maybe I will get my hair cut much shorter and go blonde (although I don’t think too light will suit me).
I am glad that I am not needing to worry about this just yet. My sister cannot be bothered and is letting her hair go grey whilst working from home.
i cant believe people could box dye! i could never do it again
L' Oreal Casting is good. The convenience of a foam is great.
My son just dyed his hair icy blond from his Sydney lockdown. Not a great look imho but according to my other son, we’re all of us just one week away from a poor hair dye job. In the meantime, I’m embracing my greys.
I would love to be blonde but wouldn't be game to dye at home its just too messy.
Im a blonde and back to using at home colour now that my hairdresser daughter has moved to another State.
I'm currently firmly sticking to my natural hair colour (greys and all), so definitely will not be dying my hair at home.
ha ha don't worry maggie! One of my daughter's has had a home cut and luckily it looks great but the other has mentioned how she'd like to dye her hair purple!! lol
I'm a natural blonde but these would be great if something changes in the future!
I tried going blonde once, never gain. Fortunately I've found a home hair dye which is very close to my natural auburn colour.
Oh no this is dangerous, I will not do any more home hair dying, my hair is finally starting to feel healthy again
Thankfully I don't dye my hair but I'll be need a haircut soonish.
"My son just dyed his hair icy blond from his Sydney lockdown. Not a great look imho…"
Says the mum who styles her hair like its…..broccoli? 😉
Great suggestions. I am missing my hairdresser so will need to dye my hair at home.
Some of these would be great to dye hair. My daughter has used a couple of these hair dyes, she has honey blonde hair and likes to change to a different shade of blonde occasionally.
I love colouring my hair at home
I've never done a home colour. It's now been 8 weeks since my last salon colour and my hair's going quite well. The grey roots are blending in with the blonde sections but how long I can get away with it remains to be seen.
That looks rich in colour
Yes, I do colour my hair at home and great suggestions here.
My blonde days are over. I prefer red nowadays. Blonde doesn't work for me anymore
The Nordic Blonde toner is also great. I am thinking of dying my blonde hair darker
I don't dye my hair but one thing my sister learnt is that since she has golden undertones, she cannot opt for golden hair dyes unless she wants a strong orange look. She has learnt that she should only choose ash colours.
Haha, yes that does look like broccoli in that small pic.
I am too scared to try a box hair dye… the thought of going orange just wouldn't work well for me. But I did try the Nordic Blonde toner and it actually has worked really well on my hair and it comes with A LOT less risk. And great price of $13 for a bottle which will likely last me months.
I need to do this, need to trim my fringe too
I've use the L'Oreal dye with success, but as I've dyed my hair much lighter now, I'm afraid to dye it myself.
I've been colouring my hair myself for years, but I'm naturally brunette. To get my blonde temple streaks, I need bleach, not blonde dye.
I've marked Cobet Davidson as SPAM!
I've marked jeff2322 as SPAM!
Hahaha, Gilded! It makes me think of my late Nan's saying: you're not as green as you are cabbage-looking!
I miss my hairdresser in lockdown so much!!
