I am with Ms. Haywood right from the beginning on the challenges and expenses of professional hair coloring.  I have auburn hair, which means that if I don't choose wisely, my hair will come out brassy red and if I go too dark, it will lose it's beautiful red hues.  I once had a professional colorist do my hair.  Unlike Ms. Haywood's experience, my guy was amazing, but I could not afford to go back in 6 weeks for another $85+tip coloring.  He really did amazing with my hair, but the intense auburn color was not something I could maintain at home.  Needless to say, I went back to home coloring.As I am ready for my next coloring, this book is timely.  I have been doing my hair occasionally, from home, for years.  I have tried every color on the sun.  Now, my dilemma is covering those grays (which are white and stick straight up) in my natural hair color, instead of trying to find "hip" or "in" colors.I learned some really good tips in this book.  Some Ms. Haywood shared from her own experience.  Other tips were snippets of advice she relayed from professionals.  I will confess I am lazy about coloring and as I went through this book, I realized that I was missing out on getting the most out of my money.  I have taken her tips about getting prepared, doing the dye and root touch up and printed them out.  I also made a list of the brands she recommends so that I can find the right one for me and not waste time and money in the future.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to save money, but get great results.  Read the book from beginning to end.  Then, re-read it and take notes.  You will be happy you did.  Great book that I am very grateful for...as I said this is timely for me and I can't wait to get my "dye" on.  ;)
