Want to dye my hair...need help

I just had a baby 5 1/2 weeks ago and I haven't dyed my hair in months. Now, I have crazy grays coming through and I my natural color is sorta boring.

Being on maternity leave/disability dosen't leave much money in the pocket for a trip to the salon. I've dyed my hair at home before but the color didn't hold as well as I would have liked. I got the products from Sally beauty supply b/c it's what my old hair stylist recommended. Can you recommend a dye that holds well???

Also, what color do you think I should go with? Nothing TOO drastic...but something maybe a bit warmer?

the best at home dye i ever used was feria - but be careful that you pick a shade that is at least sort of close to your natural haircolor (as recommended) because otherwise it can make your hair turn funny colors like orange (don't ask me how i know )

it's also easier to go darker when you are doing your color at home, if you want to go lighter, i really recommend going to the salon. a single process where i go is only $35.

I use Wella from Sally...plus I add drops of a formula that holds to gray hair...I forgot the name, they sell it there in a little dropper bottle

I would maybe warm your color up a bit
