As much as I love a day at the spa getting pampered, I am way too frugal to use my resources in that way. With that, I color my hair at home from *gasp* a box. I only color it a few times a year, when I absolutely cannot stand the grey patches at my temples and bangs. Because of this, I always forget what colors I've used in the past that I like and dislike. There have been times when I have dyed my hair twice in one day because I used a color so hideous that I was afraid the circus was going to kidnap me, thinking I was one of their own. Just today as I was coloring my hair, I had an aha moment. Starting today, I will tear off the top of the box with the color code on it and write on the back of it whether I love or should ban that color. The key is putting it in a place where you'll remember where it's at next time, like a vanity drawer. It's not a huge thing and you're not going to see your budget do a 180 to the good but it can save you a few bucks here and there when you don't have to buy a second box, or color sooner just to get rid of the color that doesn't agree with you. Do you have a good money saving beauty tip that you'd like to share?

Lyn,
I say 'Just quit"
I stopped coloring my hair as my birthday present to myself about 6 months ago.
I absolutely love it. No more touch ups or bad color choices or having to think about it when I am on a trip.
My kids have even decided that they like it

Lyn, If you go to Sally's Beauty Supply or any supply house that will let the public shop there...you can get a medium size bottle of developer (cream) (2.00) and a tube of color (4.00) the tube of color will last you 2-3 times depending on the length of your hair. The developer will last you about 5-6 times of use. and you use it 50/50 and just apply to roots...if you have any questions just email me. To me it lasts longer than box (oh no) colors...

Lyn, that is a great one. I always forget which color it is, as they are always changing the picture on the front!
