Best Hair Coloring near me in Allegheny-West, Pittsburgh

Before you aim that bottle of color towards your scalp, you’ll need to carry out a skin test - it’ll help determine if you’re going to have any allergic reaction to your dye. You’ll need to do this at least 48 hours before you dye your hair. If you don’t have any negative reactions, you’re good to go. Dye instructions will vary according to the brand and color you’re using, so be sure to follow the instructions provided in your kit. In brief, you’ll need to mix the color and developer in your kit, apply it to your dry hair starting at the root, wait for it to do its thing, rinse it out, massage in the conditioner that comes in your pack, then rinse and style your hair.

Your complexion, eye color, and your personal style. Some hair colors can make your skin look dull, so choose a shade that will complement your skin tone. Consider your eyes, too. Many stylists contrast hair shades with eye color to maximise the effect. And think about your style, too. Do you want to be noticed, or blend in? Whatever shade you choose, make sure it’ll make you feel comfortable and confident.

Yes, but you should wait for a few weeks after initially dying your hair before you dye it again. If you want to lighten your previously dyed hair, either use a ‘lifter’ to help clear your hair of color or wait 8-10 weeks before redying. Lifters are invasive and can cause damage and thinning, so we advise getting this done at a salon.
