Thanks guys, I've been asking around and found a few hairdresser friends like Matrix I think it's enjoying a bit of a trend at the moment plus others preffer Wella but I did some looking around and found Medavita so I thought I would give it a try, I'm about to colour my own hair with it eeek LOL it's an Italian company, I'll let you know how it goes. They have a web site with some great blondes and chocolates,, not sure if I can post it?? MEDAVITA - il culto dei capelli
