I have had a lot of problems with my roots even before I have ever dyed it. My hair used to be this dirty blonde color, and my roots were trying to turn brown byt got stuck in this nasty gray color. My sister suggested just to dye it so we did, and we have dyed it more than I wanted too (but that's what they thought was best) now it's this really dark brown color. We do the brand 'Nice 'n Easy' it works really well but only for about three or four weeks, then you can see it starts turning a lighter brown color. What's the most easy way to keep my color in without going back blonde, and spending way too much money?

The answer is simple: have your hair professionally colored. But since money is a problem, there are other ways around fading hair color. My hair stylist told me that store bought hair dyes contain chemicals which cause your hair to fade or turn "brassy". But she also said that places like Sally Beauty Supply sell salon quality hair color that do not contain those chemicals. I'm guessing those kinds of hair dyes are a bit more pricey but probably well worth it. Good luck!
