Hair Color Application and Maintenance FAQs

Below are the top hair color FAQs to choose, apply, and maintain hair dye:

 

Q: How do I choose the right hair color?

A: Hair color should be selected while keeping in mind your skin tone, eye color, natural hair color, and the look you are trying to achieve. Since considering so many angles can be confusing, a lot of men and women consult a colorist or hair professional to choose the right shade.

 

Q: Can I dye my hair at home?

A: Yes, it’s possible to dye your hair at home but you need to follow the instructions carefully and make sure you are using premium products. It’s easier to do it under the watch of someone experienced.  

 

Q: Can I color my hair system too?

A: The majority of women wear hair systems (also known as wigs, hair toupees, toppers, and hairpieces) to try new hair colors without damaging real hair. In answer to the question, yes, you can color your hair system. However, just be aware that it's likely that the hair of your hair system will have already been heavily processed and colored during production, so treating and coloring the hair further risks damaging the hair and reducing the lifespan of your hair system. Especially for hairpieces with grey hair, we strongly advise against any further coloring.

• Touch up your hair roots regularly to maintain the look.

 

Q: Can I prevent hair damage when coloring?

A: Yes, it is possible to prevent hair damage when coloring your hair. Choose high-quality products, follow the instructions carefully, and avoid over-coloring.

Q: How often should I touch up my hair color?

A: It totally depends on your hair growth, the intensity of color, and the type of dye you use. While hair experts recommend touching up permanent hair dyes every four to six weeks, semi-permanent dyes can last up to 6 to 12 washes before fading.

 

 

Q: Can I dye my hair while pregnant?

A: Coloring your hair during pregnancy is safe but it’s best to consult with the obstetrician before doing so. Some pregnant women choose natural or low-chemical dye options. Others prefer to wait until after the first trimester to dye their hair. Here's what science has to say about coloring hair during pregnancy.

 

Q: How can I remove hair dye if I don't like the color?

A: When going for a new color, it is best to dye a small hair patch to confirm the color. Using a color remover or a clarifying shampoo can help you in fading the hair color. Consulting with a professional hair stylist or colorist can also help you in finding the best shade for your needs.
