I'm not big on hair color. In the past five years, I've had my hair colored twice. Both times, I've got some minimal, subtle highlights. Actually, when I got highlights right before my wedding, my hair was its natural color...so it's probably been more like seven or eight years since I've really colored my hair. And I'm pretty sure the last box of color I used was only a semi-permanent color. Permanent hair color from a box scares me.
I won a bottle of Samy Fat Foam Hair Color in a giveaway on Curvy Girl Guide (great blog, by the way). I'm not sure why I entered, as hair dye isn't really my thing, but I did. And I won. I picked deep cherry brown. My hair is close to the medium brown sample swatch, for what it's worth. I think the color would look good on me, but I'm scared of it because 1). it's permanent hair color and if it looks awful, I'm screwed, and 2). it's kind of dark for a summer color. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'll somehow manage to screw it up, despite its claims of being super easy to use.
What I'm getting at here is, should I dye my hair or not? Any opinions? Any tips for getting over my box-dye fear?

Permanent color still fades (although not a ton), and red fades faster than other colors. It's just hair.
YAY!
I am so excited you won, because I actually had a great experience with it.
It was super easy, this from the girl who normally CANNOT dye her own hair bc it's too hard to hold the bottle and maneuver my thick hair. It might be messy the first time, as you are scooping it up with your hand, so just put a towel on the floor, problem solved.
As for the color, I love mine. I was unsure, as I am honestly in a quest to find my NATURAL haircolor, and I thought the color I picked was too dark, but it looks so great. Even now, weeks later, I don't even notice ANY roots.
I would definitely try it, you can always try another color if you don't feel it, and Jen is right, red does fade the fastest.
I'm 38 and started going grey at 18. Quite often (as recently as last week) I get asked if my children (11 months & 3.5) are my grandchildren. I still don't die my hair. This is me. And it's fun to see people stumble when I tell them that they are my kids.

But I am curious to know if you dyed it or not! Let us know - with pictures if you did.
