Hair coloring advice, I want to learn from your mistakes and experiences?

Like should I put my hair up or down when it has dye in it? What is something that you will never do to your hair again? etc...Hair coloring advice, I want to learn from your mistakes and experiences?
I always put mine up in a black scrunchie. I use medium brown color, so it doesn't show on the fabric, and I rinse it out then wash it with darks.



I will never have my hair professionally colored again. I've done it twice, at two different very reputable salons. Both were the worst colors I've ever had! In my experience, home hair color (I tend to stick with the non-permanent 28 shampoos stuff because it's gentler on my hair) result in a less dramatic color change. I usually leave it in a little less than the directions call for, mostly because I want subtle color change, not big ones.



Good luck!Hair coloring advice, I want to learn from your mistakes and experiences?

Usually after the dye is in i twist it and put it n the top of my head. What I will never do again is try to go from dark to blonde (turned kinda orange) and I won't go light to black (got green streaks lol). Now my friend does my hair and we use professional dye not the box stuff lol
when I dye my hair i put it up. I put on the color and twist it up and but it on the top of my head. I dyed my hair red and wanted to be blond, and I went to a salon to see what the could do and they told me that i would have to strip the color and then dye it, so instead of doing that I dyed it brown then i waited and and added a hint of blond. Oh by the way I used color oops to get the brown out and it is safe to use at home and you can dye your hair same dye but it only works for dark hair colors not light. So just be sure you want red as a hair color and just be fore warned that it is hard to maintain :)
