That's one of the reasons hair-dying is tricky, and sometimes shouldn't have a large amount of money spent on it (for example, at a hair salon). Highlights are a different story. Did your stylist use a filler? That usually delays the fading, but it's still inevitable. I say use the dye from the store. Just don't do it too often or your hair will dry out. I like Garnier Fructis (color choices and results).

The first difference is quality. The condition of your hair is not good after a store bought color. The second difference is that store bought colors are mass-produced in a factory, in a salon stylist personally mix your customized color every time you come in. This means that at store bought color can be slightly different each time you purchase it. Keep in mind that the manufacture does not tell you when they change their product.

In a salon , it takes years for a stylist to learn all there is to know about hair color both chemically and in color theory. A stylist must know how the colors works with the pigment of your hair, how not to turn it green, or damage it beyond repair. The stylists at are continually attending educational classes to know exactly the latest techniques in hair color. All this information and experience can not be found on the back of a box.

I don't think that salon dye lasts any longer then store-bought. A salon job just looks better because someone else applying the hair dye can cover all the areas better than doing it yourself. Get a store-bought dye and have a friend do it. Boyfriends and husbands can also be trained for this task! :D

I use Nice N Sleazy...(Nice N Easy) sometimes it's on sale and it's very inexpensive.

First, you only "dye" clothing (using Rit, for example.) When you use permanent coloring on your hair, you are TINTING it. The chemicals are different, thus the different description of the work.

Second, to tint your hair at home is risky. The retail store products are different chemicals from the professional salon chemicals. So you cannot expect the same results.

Third, all hair colorings will fade by the fourth week on the hair. If you look at your scalp, you will see that, by now, some of your own natural color has grown out. This is the longest period of time you can wait to "retouch" the new growth. If you wait longer to color the new growth, you will get definate bands of color -giving you a strange, unnatural banding, if you continue to do that.

I recommed you have the same hairdresser do your retouching every 3 to 4 weeks. You can expect to achieve essentially the same results, and the hairdresser can recommend quality shampoos, conditioners, and equipment for you to use at home for the best overall results, over time.

Last, a genuine word to the wise: the chemicals in the retail brands of hair color vary from time to time, from the professional brands, and from each other. You can get some ODD results. The chemicals also coat the hair shaft so putting on new, different chemicals will cause anything from green or purple hair colors (unchosen) or breakage of the hair, to failure of the color to last even as long as it is supposed to last. Also, it's cheaper to have your hairdresser continue to color your hair, than to have them try to fix a bad job you've done yourself.
