So, do I go back to box haircolor?

I'm looking at our budget, and I just feel like the money I spend in the salon could be better used elsewhere...

So, do I dare?   My hair is currently highlighted...

    I think highlights are easier than going darker, it's worth a try.

    I used to get so many compliments on my boxed color back when I was in school.  Way more than I get from on my insanely expensive salon job now, hmm....  It only works well if you're going for a darker color though, IMO.

     

    ETA:  Lol, pp and I have totally different opinions :)  I never attempted at home highlights, only going darker.  My hair is a medium brown naturally though.

    as I fellow blonde I say it is worth the salon trips. I tried box..I hated it. Can you just go back to a more natural blonde w/ out highlights. I did this during my pregnancy and only had to get touch ups every 3 months instead of every 2.

    I'm a hair stylist and of course will not recommend you using a box. What if you mess it up or don't like the color? Getting it fixed will end up costing you more. If you're on a tight budget though beauty schools are usually a safe bet. They're cheaper and more eager to please.

    samesies. but you gotta trust the student :)

    unfortunately box color is harder to correct if it goes wrong .so it depends on what you wanna do- you going darker like a brown? then go a couple shades lighter than what you aim for. deep condition before hand so it goes on more evenly. i apply color to damp hair and comb through with a wide tooth comb.
