For 9 or so months, I've been dying my usually light brown hair pink and blue after bleaching it. I bleach it every 3 months or so, and use manic panic every month or so. How can I keep my hair as strong and healthy as possible?

How tough/insane is it going to be to colour my hair to
look like Dr.
Horrible's? How do I go about it? Difficulty level: Never done this before, though my wife has some experience with hair colouring at home, and planning on doing it at home as I can't see spending salon level money on a Halloween costume.

At home hair-dye gone not-so-terribly, but my pretty dark red has too much purple. What's the best toner to get rid of that color and leave a nice red?

I'm a male in my early thirties in DC and starting to get pretty visible white hair (i have completely black hair). That's not that big of a deal - but I've started to get a visible white patch on one of my eyebrows (and THAT is bothersome and visible). I'd like to fix that.

I dyed my hair red. Now I'm wondering if the instructions for redying/touch-ups are really correct, even for dye that has faded very quickly.

After dying my hair, and then 'reverting' with
ColourB4, I think the peroxide has warmed my normal hair colour. Can anybody help me pick another hair dye (preferably just semi-permanent this time) to make my hair a darker brown but with more ashy undertones?

I use henna on my hair, which I am growing out. Am I in a lifetime relationship with henna, or is there a point at which it's safe to switch to chemical dyes without a potential technicolor reaction?

I want to color my roots quickly, and won't have time/money to see my colorist. She ordinarily uses Goldwell, and I don't want to bother obtaining and then mixing, etc., the professional product for 3/4" of grey. Given the base color and chemical makeup of Goldwell color, what off-the-shelf substitute would you recommend?

I'm blonde, but I've been coloring my hair red (permanent color) for the last year or so. I liked the red and all, but I'm ready to go back to my natural color. What can I do to fade the red a little faster without turning my hair into straw before I can get to a stylist (could be a couple of weeks)?

I am going to be dyeing some sections of my hair some wild and funky colour. I have done this before, (blue, pink, purple) using Jerome Russell's "Punky Color" product. Recently, a new product has become available in my town, "Manic Panic." Does anyone have any experience with Manic Panic? With both? Which would you recommend? Please don't suggest any other dye brand, these are the only two I have access to. While you're at it, any tips on dyeing hair unnatural colours? I do plan on bleaching first.
