I personally cannot understand the status of it, for there was a time when the poor people had all the streaks, because they were out working the fields, in the sun.

I use a color stick that I picked up at Ulta3 (I don't know if you have this store in your area.) I do color my hair at home about once every 3 months, but the color stick helps me to go longer between colorings...I hope this helps!
