Dress for the occasion.
We’re talking old robes and button down shirts that you can spill dye on without panicking. Messes happen, especially when you are colouring your hair. So don’t risk it!
Reach for the jelly
The petroleum jelly that is! A layer of Vaseline around your hairline, neck, and ears will help to prevent your skin from taking on the colour of your hair dye. Look, we’ve all been there. We just wish we had learned this one sooner!
Play doctor
Lay all your “tools” out before you start, this will allow you to focus on the task at hand, rather than running around trying to find that pesky brush, clip or comb you swear was in your dressing table drawer…
For best results, start at the top
Your roots need more colour, so it’s always best to begin there and work your way down. It’s also the way the pros do it!
Keep some wet wipes nearby
These little babies are great for wiping up spills or marks so that the dye doesn’t stain you – or anything else for that matter!
Wear those gloves
The gloves included in your box of hair dye are there for a reason. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
Reach for sulphate-free shampoo to prolong your colour
This will help you get the most wear out of your colour, preventing early fading and that dullness we all dread.
Condition after colouring.
This step is absolutely vital as it helps to seal cuticles and lock in your colour. Skip this step and the cuticles won’t close, allowing the colour to keep developing on your hair.
