I'm a natural blond, but I hate my hair colour. It's like a dark golden blond shade. I wanted it light brown, so I bought some light brown hair dye and had my friend dye it for me today. It came out slightly darker, but still blond. What other brands could I use to dye my hair light brown. This time I used Clairol. Also, how long can I wait in order to dye it again?

Some of the more costly colors come out bolder and more natural looking. I hate the gray that's getting into my hair. I use Feria, and have gone from dark brown to platinum blond without bleaching. I've never had it get brassy, or too red and, it does come out true to the color on the box.
I'd wait four weeks, make sure your hair is in good condition but, the night before you plan to color, or that morning, wash your hair, shampooing it twice and do not use a conditioner. If you use an all in one shampoo, get one that does not have a conditioner. Let it air dry then, color.
With over the counter hair color, you get what you pay for, the more costly ones like Feria and Preference do come out much better than the cheaper ones like Nice n Easy. If you want to maintain the color, you'll be doing a root touch up every month and, a full dye 2-3 times a year.
