revlon colorsilk - it's the most affordable and works great. at our walmart, it's $3.27 each. this is plenty for me - i mostly do my roots, but end up with about an ounce or so more, and am able to cover my entire head. i have almost shoulder-length hair.
i've ventured out and used L'Oreal Feria, and there's more ounces of product in case you have longer hair. on my hair-dye day, once a month, i wear an old black, crew-neck t-shirt and old black shorts. i line the bathroom counter with newspaper and i pull out about 7-8 personal wipes and leave them "at the ready." when dying, you sometimes get a smudge on your face or forearm - use the personal wipe to clean it immediately. i sometimes need a few more, so i leave the container of wipes open. wiping the stain immediately prevents stains from setting in. some people have used vaseline at the edge of the hairline to stop drips, but i found that it tends to prevent any color from going on the hairs at the edge which are the prime "white" roots for me, so i don't use vaseline. i also bought a rat-tailed hair dye brush to paint and section my hair with - like this one below except mine is black. i have an old plastic bowl that i pour the dye in to dip the brush in. https://www.amazon.com/Framar-Classi...4371632&sr=8-3 i wouldn't wear a cape (the kind the hair dresser puts on you) since you're the one moving your arms around to do the work, and a cape would be restrictive. old t-shirt is best.
