Overtone is semipermanent; it wears off my long hair eventually. Of all the colors I've tried, only black stains the shower floor or my hands enough to last to the next shower, but it does wash off if you work at it.

I would be careful with the hair color you buy from the store. For years my hair was frizzy and dry. At the time I did not understand why. I even had some highlights professionally applied and immediately afterwards the hair felt like straw. I have been growing out my hair for the past year and can’t believe how soft it is. So I would say to choose the product carefully because a lot of the home coloring kits are very harsh.

I've colored my own hair for years. I'm a natural redhead (with plenty of grey now), so I color fairly close to my natural color, it's just a bit brighter.
I use Clairol Nice'n Easy (6R Light Auburn), 20 minutes on the roots then work though rest of hair for 5 minutes. Then 3 weeks later I use Clairol Root Touch-Up in the same shade just on the roots. Then repeat in another 3 weeks. I find it fairly easy, not too messy, and home coloring hasn't dried out my hair.

I use Madison Reed in the light cool brown shade (I belive it is Veneto Brown). But, I only do it once per year ove rthe late fall/winter to tone any highlights/lowlights and blend some grays until I get professional color again in spring. I find that subtle, targeted highlights blend greys into the rest of your hair color better than all over color and grow out better.
