What should I not do before dying my hair?

A good rule of thumb is to shampoo your hair at least 24 to 48 hours before your coloring session, unless otherwise directed. You want there to be a natural protective oil layer on your scalp to act as a barrier against the chemicals in the hair dye.

Where do I start dying my hair?

You should begin applying hair dye at the roots. Because they are where regrowth occurs first and the least damaged part of hair, they need the most color and processing time. Let the hair color develop for the amount of time indicated on packaging directions.

Is it better to dye your hair wet or dry?

You’ll want to stick with dyeing your strands while they’re dry. Coloring your hair while it’s wet is best for subtle results and looks that are less likely to cause damage.

What should you do first before applying hair color?

Why do hairdressers color before cutting?

“Getting a fresh cut or trim before highlights allows your colorist to tailor the highlights to the cut.” This can be especially important if you’re getting balayage and the color is focused towards the ends of the hair. “If you do the cut after the highlights, you can cut off the brightest ends,” he says.
