Does it seem weird to put in a darker color over a lighter color? Do you think it will look OK?

I don't mind the color I have now with just the one tone but it's a little drab, still better than the washed out bleachy stuff I had before. I've opted to do it myself this time. The last two times I've had my hair colored they did something really out there that I didn't like and of course it costs a small fortune.
If you have it done professionally and don't like it, go back to the salon and have it corrected. A good stylist/salon won't charge you to make it right.

I would recommend having it done professionally. I've colored my hair myself and had it done in a salon, and it always was healthier/looked better when I had a professional do the color.

I last has my hair colored in April 2011, after 20+ years of coloring. It was at the point where I had to commit to either coloring it for the rest of my days or letting it go natural. Fortunately, I have an experienced and talented hair stylist, so the transition hasn't been too bad. I'm surprised by how much I like my own hair color, particularly my white/silver stripes! I am looking forward to the day when 100% of the non-natural hue is chopped off!!!
