Whether you want to get rid of gray hair or just take on a new hairstyle, coloring is a great way to do it. Unfortunately, coloring can cause damage and dryness if not used properly. The color you choose should be mixed with the original color of your hair and eyebrows to enhance your features. Experiments are fine, but regular use of dyes can roughen hair. While it's best to color your hair at a professional salon or stylist, it's much cheaper and just as effective at home. So, you'd better avoid these hair coloring mistakes.
1. Color your hair too often
As we know, the colored hair will easy to lose moisture and get to dry. Too much dyeing can lead to split ends and breakage. Your hair will start to thin out.
2. Choose a hair dye based on the model on the box
The photos on the hair box can be deceptive, especially if you want to color your hair blonde. Your skin color is different from the blonde in the photo. Only if you choose brown or black will you get a similar effect. Trying light colors at home is much more difficult.
3. Choose a color that doesn't fit your skin
Different skin tones work with different hair colors. Some people work best with cool-toned blonde hair, while others work best with warm-toned blonde hair. Considering your natural colors and discussing color options with your hairstylist can help you choose the most flattering colors.
4. Complete the entire head without first testing a small section of hair
Test your hair by applying the dye to a small section of hair. The test can also help you determine how long you need to leave the dye to get the results you want. Let it dry completely, check the color, and adjust the color if necessary.
5. Staining your skin or clothes
Wrap a towel around your neck to protect your skin, as the dye can irritate your skin or affect your clothes. Gloves should be used and must be included in the hair dye kit. Apply vaseline or cream around the ears and neck to prevent stains. Wipe off the oil after washing your hair. If you happen to get your skin dirty, don't worry, rubbing alcohol will remove the dye stains from your skin.
6. Choose permanent color for the first time
Semi-permanent hair color will gradually wash out after 8 to 10 shampoos, but permanent hair color will remain until it is washed out or you can find a colorist to fix it. If you are going to do it yourself, choose a temporary, semi-permanent color.
7. Use conditioner before dyeing your hair.
Do not use any conditioning products before using hair dye. For maximum effect and intense color, your hair should be clean and free of impurities and oils, so shampoo is good.
