What is your best advice for coloring your hair?

Here are our Hair Dye Musts:

• Always perform a strand test and patch test before using hair dye.
• Perform strand test before mixing GDY!
• Always wear a pair of protective gloves when dyeing.
• Use petroleum jelly or a thick conditioner around your hairline to prevent staining your skin. If staining occurs, try using a baking soda paste or toothpaste to remove the stain.
• Wear old clothes and use a towel that you don’t mind staining.
• Place newspaper or towels around where you’re dyeing to protect surfaces from staining.
• Use mirrors both in front and behind you when applying GDY hair dye. If you are doing it yourself this will help you not miss any spots!
• Rinse your hair in the sink rather than the shower to avoid staining surfaces such as your bathtub.
• Always use cold water when rinsing out GDY hair dye.
• It’s recommended you don’t wash your hair with shampoo or conditioner for at least a week after dyeing.
