Coloring the hairs is a one way road as once it is done, you can’t remove it for next couple of days. So, you need to plan it carefully as how much part do you need to color, you only need a streak or full coloring, whether you are doing it by yourself or at a shop.

You also need to consider what quality of color you are using. You can go with hair color with natural oils which help in retaining the moisture in your colored hair. They also makes your hair look shiny and healthy. If you can get Ammonia free hair color, that would be the best option. You also need to take care of the color selection. Remember, the color as it appears on the color box and the way it turns out on hairs are two different things.

  • Patch Test and Pre color care

Patch test basically means checking whether the color product you are using it perfect for you or not. You must check that you are not allergic to the product you are going to use. Always deep condition your hair and use hair masks before coloring them. You can also try avoiding any kind of chemicals for at-least 15-20 days before coloring.

  • No shampoo before coloring and even application

Do not use shampoo for two days prior to hair coloring. This helps in protecting the hairs roots from severe color damage.

We would recommend to take professional help or to visit a salon for hair coloring as they are experienced and knows the best techniques for hair coloring.
