Hair Dyes

Today’s Blog post is for women and teen girls. How many of you dye your hair? How much do you pay to have your hair dyed? What color do you want your hair dyed? There are so many different colors to pick from, how do you know which color to pick from?

Since this blog is about saving money, I will give you options and what I do when I dye my hair. Some people would say why dye your hair and just live with the color you have or don’t worry about the gray hair. I agree but sometimes I just want to look younger and feel pretty. So I find ways to have my hair dyed cheaper.

Most people will just go to their local beauty shop and have their hair dyed. My daughter did this her first time and said she had to pay over $50 dollars to have her hair dyed. My husband would shoot me if I paid that much money to have my hair dyed. I told my daughter there has to be a cheaper way to have your hair dyed.

The next time she had her hair dyed she tried a beauty school. It cost her $35 dollars. Yes, it was cheaper but not by much, plus she was not happy with the results. I said there still has to be a cheaper way to dye your hair.

Most beauty shops and beauty schools dye your hair with a permanent dye, what happens if you do not like the color? Now you are stuck with that color for quite a long time. I still think there is a better way and much cheaper way to get your hair dyed.

I found a much cheaper way to dye your hair for under $12 dollars, and if you do not like it, it will wash out a lot sooner than the permanent dyes. Go to your local Walmart, Target, Walgreens, stores and buy a cheap box of hair dye. There are so many different colors to pick from. The directions are easy to follow and the dye is easy to put on. My daughter dyed my hair in under 2 hours with great success. And this was her first time dying anybody’s hair. She even trusted me to dye her hair, and it turned out really nice.

My daughter paid $7 dollars for her hair dye and I spent $3 dollars on my hair dye. I have my hair dyed 3 times a year for under $10 dollars. Compared to let’s say $50 dollars for dying my hair, I save over$100 dollars a year.

Dying someone's hair is easy and very inexpensive if you buy the hair dye yourself. If you do not like the color it washes out very fast and you can always try a different color next time. This is one way I splurge on myself to make myself feel pretty.

Dying your hair does not have to break the bank if you find a friend or family member to do the work for you. For under $10 dollars and 1 hour of your time, you can have your hair dyed cheaper than a Beauty shop or Beauty school. Find a nice color and enjoy how much you have saved by doing it yourself, from Suzie Homemaker. 

Saving on Hair Care

How many people out there think it is way too expensive to get their hair done?  I know I do! So today I am going to give you some cheaper ways to get your hair done. As I have been telling you, I like to save money any way I can.  I like to have my hair cut every 6 to 8 weeks. Plus 2 to 3 times a year I have a permanent done. Just recently my daughter told me I need to lose the gray, so I now  I have my hair colored every 3 to 4 months. This all adds up if you go to a salon and have your hair done. So I found some cheaper and inexpensive ways to have my hair done.

 Hair Cuts

Having your hair cut at a salon can cost you anywhere from $16.00 dollars and up. If you go to cheap you get what you pay for. I’ve had really bad hair cuts down this way and you have to live with it until your hair grows out. So I found some cheaper alternatives for getting your hair cut. Try checking out your local beauty school. I have had good luck here and it cost me $10.00 dollars or under for a haircut. Plus you have an instructor watching them as they cut you hair. Another way I recently found is by asking a friend if they know a beautician that cuts hair on the side to earn extra cash. This is a great way to have your hair down professionally at a fraction of the price. When I was growing up my mother cut all or my sisters and brother hair. She did this for me until I got married and moved away for free.

Permanents

As I said my mother was a god send, she also gave me permanents while I was growing up for free. Having a permanent in a salon starts at over $50.00 dollars and up. I can’t afford this and find this a waste of money when you can have it done cheaper. Again check out your local beauty school and have your permanents done there. A basic permanent starts at $25.00. Also, try your friend’s hair dresser that also does permanents on the side for extra cash. Most cases you can save over half the price you would have to pay at a salon.

Hair Coloring

Having your hair colored at a salon can start at $60.00 dollars and up. That’s ridiculous! Again ask your friend’s beautician if she would be willing to do this on the side for extra cash. I went one step cheaper by buying my own hair dyes from the store. They are not very hard to do and I can buy one for under $7.00 dollars. I dye my daughter’s hair all the time and she does mine in return for free.

Finding ways to cut costs takes a little time and effort. But by having someone else like a friend or family member doing my hair I can save hundreds of dollars a year.

Here’s a little bonus I want to show you. Last week I bought some clothes on clearance and I wanted to show you how much I saved.

Look for those bargains and save wherever you can from Suzie Homemaker.
