Feeling good is a very important issue for most women. If they do not look good they simply cannot feel confident about themselves. Regular visits to the beauty salon are top of many women's priority list and even those who do not want to spend the money on a salon look can easily have a great new look by using a simple home color kit.

Growing old gracefully may sound fine, until a woman actually experiences her first gray hairs. This is typically a defining moment when many women make the decision about weather or not they will be coloring gray hair or not. If they are over fifty many women may opt for a natural look that is easy to take care of, but for those who start graying as early as their twenties color is really a necessity.

Women can begin to notice grays as early as their twenties. For most this is a hereditary problem over which they have no control. There really is nothing they can do to halt the process once it has begun. If they want to be free from gray hair they must use commercial color products, which can be applied in a salon or at home. Many people feel more comfortable getting their color done by a professional who really knows what they are doing.

Learning how to apply a home color does take a little practice. Each kit comes with its own set of instructions which should be followed carefully. The color must be mixed first and then applied to the roots. The rest of the mix can then be applied to the ends for the last five or ten minuets to achieve a uniform color.

There is a great selection of home color kits which each have something great to offer. Many come with a special conditioner that should be used directly after the color. More and more kits today have a very natural approach. They rely primarily on eco friendly ingredients such as plant based dyes and non chemical colors.

Those who are not confident doing their own color can always go to salon. It will cost a little more but many women feel that it is well worth the cost. They can take the time to be pampered and enjoy the full salon experience. The stylist will also have lots of helpful tips and suggestions about how best to style and care for the tresses once they have been colored.

Many people like to stick with the same shade once they have found one they really like. This can help to keep the change from looking too obvious. Some women are very self conscious about coloring their hair and do not want others to notice.

If the gray hairs are very prominent it may be necessary to color as often as every three weeks. This will help to prevent the roots from becoming too obvious and keep the look consistent. It only takes about an hours from start to finish and the results are wonderful.
