With salon visits on hold, mastering at-home hair coloring is a game-changer—especially for tackling those stubborn grays. As beauty professionals recommend, here's a reliable guide to get professional-looking results safely.
Before dyeing your roots, identify your current hair color accurately. Check the box shade that matches your existing color closest. A common pitfall? Choosing your desired shade over your natural one, which can lead to brassy orange tones or poor blending with the rest of your hair.
Once you've selected the right dye, allocate time wisely: Expect at least an hour total—30 minutes for application and another 30 for processing. Plan ahead, especially if multitasking.
Step 1: Prep your space
Wear the included gloves before mixing. Protect clothing and use dark towels to avoid stains.
Step 2: Section and apply
Comb hair into four sections, then 2cm strands. Prioritize color-resistant areas like temples and crown, where grays fade fastest. Use a handheld mirror for the back and neck. Pro tip: Saturate roots generously—better over-applied than patchy.
Step 3: Rinse and condition Colored hair dries out quickly, so always follow with the included conditioner to maintain moisture and strength.
For quick touch-ups between dyes, root powders and sprays offer temporary coverage.
