    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Hair Color Mix Book
    The book is easy to read and easy to understand. Author makes a point of trying to make you feel at ease and uses terms anyone can understand. Author sounds as if she truly wants to share her secrets and make you successful. Products used and recommended are for the most part readily available at local stores like Walgreens, etc. Book includes color photos of haircolor shown on celebrities. I was a little disapointed that the book gives "recipes" for only a limited number of hair colors that ... Read More



    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Do not buy
    I was so excited to get this book, but when I recieved it I realized that it would cost me more to buy all the various colors and equipment than to go get my hair colored still at the salon! Very disappointing. Now I know why the local chain stores did not carry the book.



    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not for everyone
    This book is a very fun read, and I can't wait to try a recipe or two over time. My only criticism is that there are no recipes for redheads - there is a recipe for those who want to become redheads, however if one is a natural redhead who wants to color his or her hair, I fear one is out of luck. Thankfully (in this case), I'm a brunette, so I can actually use the book. If I were a redhead I'd have been very disappointed.



    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - If I can use this book successfully, anyone can
    I am mixed race (1/2 black, 1/2 white)with tab 3 hair (dark brown). I've used this book 3 times. Once to get the caramel color. Even though it wasn't recommended for my tab, I followed the directions *exactly* and got a beautiful color, soft and warm. Now it's winter, so I went darker, and did the milk chocolate with vanilla threads recipe. Once again, a beautiful result. Tonight I did my husband's hair, using the "Frosted Secret Sauce" on his tab 7 hair. He looks amazing, and perfectly natural. ... Read More



    Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - pretty good
    first, i wanted to reply to Elle, who said that she got orange hair from using the 'light blonde' dye reccomended to get 'caramel'. i also did the same thing, but with different results. though my hair didn't end up a perfect caramel, it did lighten it up nicely to a color that i've been getting lots of compliments on. i never would have used that store-bought color otherwise, as my hair is too dark to go 'light blonde'. but, since my tab was in the right section, i did. perhaps your hair was ...
