Help! I am a blonde!

Hi everyone, We are now reeeeeelly looking forward to coming to Barbados in November for our first stay in our new home (wintering over from the UK for 6 months). I am trying not to bring a lot of stuff with me but one sticking point is my hair ...... I am blonde but it is not natural so I need to colour it every 5 weeks. Search as I might, I have not found any blonde colourants in the shops or pharmacies (drug stores, chemists). Can anyone help please and let me know where I can buy a blonde colourant locally rather than having to bring 6 months supply with me:blink: Thanx

Just wanted to say best of luck xxx

Re: Help! I am a blonde!

do you dye it yourself??? because I'm certain a hairdresser here can do that and would have the colour for you. I recently was in Tri-Mart Supermarket and on the shampoo aisle, next to the hairbrushes etc, I'm pretty sure I saw a blonde colour package.. can't remember the brand..

and that would be another issue.. if you used a specific brand, then Yes, I'd say bring it with you...

Re: Help! I am a blonde!

Thanks everyone - er I should have added that I am Michael's wife so the colour is for me not him! And yes I do colour it myself and have used the same brand and colour for years, as my hair is long thick and curly it is not easy to change. So, I will bring ny own with me. Thanks again everyone this is reeeeelly helpful!:flirtyeyes
