Call me a wimp, but I find at-home hair color pretty intimidating. I look at all the boxes and the little shade charts and see the long list of instructions and I just know that my klutzy self will botch something up along the way.
Do you feel the same way? Even if you don't, it's still worth checking out this at-home hair color video if you're thinking at all of coloring your hair. Even seasoned pros will learn a thing or two.

For some women, going grey is
a natural and beautiful part of the aging process. For others, the

As seasons change, more
than just the weather switches, we all wear to warmer clothes in
darker tones and colors, makeup palettes change from dewy skin to a
more matte finish, less bronzer more blush, and richer jewel toned

A new development has been made in science's never-ending quest to determine whether blondes really have more fun (seriously, do they really have nothing more pressing to investigate?). A study determined that blondes on average spend six more minutes getting ready than brunettes.
The study found that brunettes take 66 minutes to get ready daily, and their fair-haired counterparts take 72 minutes. This works out to 19 days versus 22 days a year spent primping, respectively. One other interesting find: brunettes were more likely to leave the house without doing their hair and makeup (I've been guilty of this a few times, as have these celebs -- eek!).

After talking DIY haircut tales of terror last week, naturally, we started thinking about other beauty disasters we’ve suffered, and hair color mishaps topped the list. Personally, I’ve endured them all. There were various Sun-In incidents (and yes, I went from brassy orange to green on that trip), cranberry juice-fueled binges, at-home highlights (do not attempt at home!), henna, the time black did not look as cool as I thought it would, bleached blonde (also not as rad as in theory), and a million and one crazy-looking streaks in between. But there’s nothing so seductive as the pretty model with perfect hair on the front of that cardboard box filled with promise, even though we now realize, in this age of the airbrushing revolution, that her ‘do is as fake as the dye itself. For the past few years I’ve sworn off coloring my own hair, but as every professional colorist I’ve ever interviewed has asserted, color correction is their bread and butter. After the jump, real women share their own experiences with hair color gone horribly wrong. Read More »
