I find that I too am on the cheap side of my hair colour and I did do a wonderful do-it-at-home box colour. Only problem is that my hair grows very fast and super thick!!! I was on a 4 week hair cut schedule and the colour was about the too, because my roots showed so badly. Spent alot of $$ on my hair.

I just found three grays in mine several weeks ago. I haven't colored since. I think that I just might like gray!
