Its been about 5-7 years since I had hair past my shoulders and now I finally do!

I think I'm going to dye it this weekend and was wondering if anyone would know if one box would be enough?

*IF* I remember correctly I think I used only one box for this length of hair, but that was at least 5 years ago.

I have very thin hair, the back of my hair is just past my shoulders maybe even even with my shoulders and my bangs are just above my chin.

Yes, one box should be enough. Are you going darker or lighter with the dye?

Slightly darker.

I'm trying to go back to my natural color (the tips are still bleached from when I bleached it... oh I'd say close to a yea ago or so).
My natural color is odd, it's like a light-medium brown and the ends get lighter in the summer. (In the summer I look like I dye my hair because my roots are darker when really that is natural, it kind of stinks) Or I was thinking of doing light red & say screw it to my natural brown mouse terd natural color. lol

I concur, one box will do. Be sure to show us pictures.

Yup, one box will do it. I have soooo much left over now that my hair is short... I can share it if you run out ;)

FYI . . . the ends don't take as much color . . . for some reason :) . . . so you don't have to soak the ends in color. But I'm sure you'll read that in your directions. And I'm sure 1 box is plenty . . . Good luck!

Yep - one box. My hair is down to the middle of my back. One box does it all.

I have shoulder length hair and one box barely does it all. Then again, I have extremely thick hair :) I have to dye mine soon as well, I'm 20 and already have greys! :eek:

My hair is just past my chest and very very thick and I always use just one box. :) It barely makes it, but it gets the job done!

Hmmm, maybe it is the brand I am using? I know that Feria has a large amount of dye, and really pretty colors. I find it too expensive. I use Loreal Preference, and the bottles are pretty small IMO. I only need one box of Feria. I part my hair and dye one side then the next, maybe I am putting too much dye on the first side? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-029.gif

Trust me, one box is PLENTY. I have fine hair about the same length as you, and one is more than enough. Are you going to give us some before and after pics? ;)
