I know my hair was showing it! While scrolling on social media, an ad for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esalon.com\/\">eSalon\u00a0<\/a>offering a discount on custom color caught my eye. I was feeling adventurous, so I said: \u201cWhat the heck? My gray is showing!\u201d Have you resorted to coloring your hair at home yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this uncertain time, when we are serving many roles and living with an underlying uneasiness, self-care is really important. So, when you start feeling a little not like yourself, a little pampering with a custom at-home kit may be just the remedy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Self hair color during shelter in place\" width=\"723\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9Gl3Kk5HtSY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How eSalon color works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I clicked through to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esalon.com\/support\/category\/1\/all-about-esalon\/44\/the-esalon-difference\/\">eSalon website<\/a>\u00a0and was directed to a questionnaire about my hair type, hair color, eye color, etc. I even uploaded my photo to the colorist. Based on the information I provided, eSalon gave me several choices of color. I wanted to keep a similar color, so I chose dark blond, natural copper. I also ordered a salon cape and a root touch-up color spray for a discounted total of $30.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kit came in a small pink box. It included a cute poem inside, custom directions, and the name of the colorist who mixed my color. My name was even on the color bottle \u2013 Jennifer\u2019s color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inside the kit:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The kit included a cape, root touch-up spray, gloves, an application brush, color, developer, mixing tray, color remover wipes, color blocker, shampoo, and conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I followed the directions to mix and apply the color and waited 30 minutes. Next, I added water to the remaining color and poured it all over my head, working the mixture through. After rinsing, I shampooed and conditioned. Finally, I blew my hair dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Result?\u00a0<\/strong>My hair turned out soft, and the color is beautiful. The tone of the color is rich, light, and multidimensional. #colorhappiness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sheranmemories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570x380-1.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" data-attachment-id=\"828\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sheranmemories.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/18\/coloring-your-hair-at-home-during-social-distancing\/jennifersheranafteresaloncolor-570x380\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sheranmemories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570x380-1.jpeg?fit=570%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"570,380\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1587043333&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570&#215;380\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Women with short red hair&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sheranmemories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570x380-1.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sheranmemories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570x380-1.jpeg?fit=570%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sheranmemories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570x380-1.jpeg?resize=570%2C380&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sheranmemories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570x380-1.jpeg?w=570&amp;ssl=1 570w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sheranmemories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JenniferSheranAfterESalonColor-570x380-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My verdict is thumbs up!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I am happy with the results and feel just a little more like myself, even if I am still switching from day pajamas into night pajamas!
