I have colored my hair since I was in HS (30 years or so) and so does many of my sisters, cousins, and my mom. We always did it ourselves using a variety of products. Some I found itched more, some smelled more, some left my hair more shiny....it depended on the color and the brand. Even within the same brand the color chosen could smell more than others.
Anyway...one day my aunt after dyeing her hair for over 60 years, was horrified to find she made it orange.

She called:
THE CLAIROL HOT LINE, and they were wonderful. Great advice and very helpful. I also called when I made my daughter's hair strange and they solved my problem.
