Using red hair dye products

So, you've made your decision. You want to dye your hair red but now you're faced with the decision of which hair dye to try. 
To add to that, there's also the decision of whether you're going "au natural" and using henna, or whether you're going to stick to the brands you know and try foam or liquid dyes. 

Over the years, I've tried all three and now I've settled on the newest dye trend to hit our stores- oil dye. 

Personally, I found the foam dyes quite messy and despite it allowing you to have more of a coverage, the foam/mousse still ended up falling onto to the floor! I think they take far too much time and they don't allow you to get into the roots and therefore I ended up with little parts that weren't covered. Although you may be better than me at this!

I've also tried henna quite a few times and found it very difficult to use due to its substance. The sticky, muddy product dries very quickly and so becomes quite messy when applying and if you have long hair, it can become practically impossible to get it through all the hair before the henna completely dries. Although, this can be changed by adding water, but I found it way too messy.    

I've been using Garnier Olia Intense red for about 3 months and after a a bit of a rocky start as I left my other much loved hair dye, I think I finally fallen in love with it. The two pictures on the left show my Garnier Olia coverage.

I'm going to be dying my hair next week so I'll write a how-to and a little review on what I think of it. I do love this product so I will be showing you why I think it's one of the best out there but like any product, it does have its good and bad points.
