Mistakes you do when dyeing your hair

You don't always have time or money to stop by the beauty salon to dye your hair, so you stop by the supermarket, take your dye and apply it at home. Here are some mistakes you should avoid if you do that: 

You wash your hair before

The hair is clean when you dye it so the color catches harder because it is slippery. The best results you will have are if you dye the hair home on the day you also need to wash it.

You don't apply a moisturizing mask before

If you already know the day you want to dye your hair, then you should get an intense hydrating mask a few days before, so your hair will certainly absorb the color.

The dye you use is too different from your natural color

You should not experience some drastic look changes at home, but try to always chose a colour close to the one you already have. If you really want a change of look, then wait until you have time/money and go to a professional salon. 

You don't use skin cream

Because you're doing this at home, you can stain the skin quite easily, and then the dye will not easily go away. To avoid such incidents, apply some cream on your forehead hairline, ears and neck.

You skip the sensibility test

Any manufacturer recommends that before applying any hair dye all over the head, have a test, two or three days before. And not for nothing! Besides the fact that you could have a bad allergic reaction or that the skin could get irritated, the color may not show on your hair as well as on the box, so avoid unpleasant transformations.
