cheeky75, sorry it has taken so long for me to reply..been busy with christmas stuff. happy holidays by the way! yes you can only get it online. if you just type in nulockz.com it should get you right there. i would recommend getting a kit with the hair fibers, cause otherwise you would have to go back and pay more shipping and handling with another order. the reason i like the hair fibers is because you have instant results while you are waiting for the other products to actually give you new hairs. and BTW its no joke, those hair fibers are like magic...it looks like you instantly grow hair! where do you thin the most on your head? mine was mostly on my temples, but my hubby's back of his head and front area were pretty bad before we tried this. let me know what happens!

Awwwww - Thanks everyone! I'm blushing! :) Yeah, I absolutely love it. Claude does too. And Seashell, Sophie has no interest in dying/highlighting her hair yet. She does like to put glitter spray in it, though. :)

If you want the spiky look, then mousse would probably give you the finish you want. My hair has gotten some curl in it which tends to get unruly in the summer, so I've found "It's a 10" leave in conditioner which seems to control and add a lot of shine. I get the walmart equate version though. I figure if it's popular enough for walmart to copy it, it must be well received in general. This is me on vacation in ID, just toodling around...I also don't color my hair...never have and am delighted to not have to start...yet anyway. But short hair is wonderful. It takes me 30 sec to dry my hair and go. Last thing I want to do is complicate my life. Congrats on the new do!

ok, to answer the OP's original question-- I've been coloring my own hair since middle school, and have learned a ton about the types of dyes, chemistry involved, undertones, etc. I think that your chosen color - auburn - is relatively easy to DIY for the following reasons: perrmanent dye (as in, ammonia based + a 10 or 20% developer) slightly lifts (aka lightens) the hair as part of the process (or otherwise it won't be permanent). natural hair color tends to go a touch warm when it starts to lighten. if you were trying to go for a "cool" color, such as truly neutral brown or blonde, it's super hard to achieve because those dyes are trying to counteract the warm tones. but you're in luck. auburn has a warm undertone, so the dyes you choose for that are working with it, not against it! if you're somewhat flexible with the exact shade that it turns out, I don't think you will have a difficult time. if you're really picky and aim for a very specific color, keep going to a professional colorist. it's so hard to get exactly the color you want. go to Sally beauty supply and ask a clerk to help you pick out a brand of dye + developer. my fav is Clairol Soy Plex. Liquicolor Permanente. they have an incredibly wide range of undertones: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/35/83/47/358347e3ba673a139fa8d9a44db4417c.png a note on other types of dyes: if you ever used Henna, it's a bad idea to switch to any kind of ammonia based dye, and vice-versa. It will very likely fry your hair. (there are some caveats to this rule. details: https://hairpros.edu/why-does-henna-affect-hair-dye/) there are about a bajillion other types of dyes out there. the ammonia based types found at Sally is tried and true for covering grey. I've tried some of the other types of dyes but I found that they are really hard to get (you need a license to get them, or can get them on amazon but you're really rolling the dice there). for the non-ammonia dyes that are easy to get (like at Sally's), they tend to not be nearly as long lasting as the ammonia based dyes.
