Hair
I know this is a recurring theme on my blog...but here goes. I had to start coloring my hair in 2008. I've never used a box. Someone, I think my mother, told me if you're going to get your hair colored, you should go to a salon. (Which is funny, because I remember her dyeing her own when I was growing up - the Miss Clairol boxes, the gloves, the purplish-black dye which was actually brown in practice.)
Anyway, my hairdresser has left her salon in a rage and gone to a rather inconvenient one. I am checking out a new one recommended by someone else, but it is more expensive and they might frown on me bringing a baby. So I am considering the last frontier: box dye. It seems kind of difficult and messy, but all I really have to do is my roots. The rest of my hair is still a pleasant, non-grey brown. How hard can dyeing my roots be? What are your experiences with box dye?

The more "natural" products don't last very long, so if it comes out a little funky, you can probably wash your hair several times and get it to fade away pretty quickly.
I've never just done my roots before, but I'd suggest that if you're not sure about a color match, go with something just slightly darker than your regular color. Then it'll just look like you have slightly darker roots, which is pretty normal for everyone anyway.
