Here are a few things to know before setting out on a quest for DIY hair colouring.

Buy a few boxes of dye, not just one.

Unless you have a pixie or bob cut, and depending on the thickness of your hair, you may need more than one box of dye. If you have lush, long hair, you could require up to 3 boxes to get full coverage, so make sure you stock up!

Love the pool? Colouring may not be for you

Chlorine is well known for stripping away hair cuticles, which allows the water to alter your colour. If you have a chlorinated pool, be careful not to dive in or submerge your head—this could render all your hard work useless!

Colour always comes out darker than what’s on the box

The last thing you want is to get halfway through your new colour, only to find it’s much darker than you like! To avoid this catastrophe, make sure you buy a few shades lighter than your preferred colour. This way you can always darken to your liking, rather than having to wait then start all over again!

Which colour suits you?

This is a trick question—while it is true certain colours work with certain skin types better than others, the fact remains that you can dye your hair whatever colour you like! So go out there, have fun and enjoy tinkering with colours you enjoy.
