Hair coloring is the practice of changing the hair color. The main reasons for this are cosmetic: to cover gray hair, to change to a color regarded as more fashionable or desirable, to restore the original hair color after it has been discolored by hairdressing processes or sun bleaching.

Choose the right formula. Boxed hair dyes have evolved in recent years and the traditional liquid formulas are no longer your only options. Now there are foam, mousse and crème formulas, too. If your goal is to cover grays, a crème formula is the best option. Mousse formulas are best for touch-ups and foam formulas are ideal for those who want all-over color, but don’t dye their hair often. The traditional liquid formulas work well for everyone.[1]
o A mousse formula is a great option for someone with sensitive skin. It doesn’t drip as much as liquid formulas do.
o If you have very thick and/or curly hair, opt for a liquid formula.[2]

2. Find the right shade for you. Use the hair color chart provided on the box of dye to determine what level and shade your current hair color is. Then choose a box of color that is within two levels of that – either two levels lighter or two levels darker. Anything more drastic is best left to a professional. Keep your skin tone in mind, as well, and choose a color that flatters it.
o Cool skin tones look best in neutral shades.
o Warm skin tones should choose tones like golden, honey and chestnut.
o If you are a blonde or brunette with cool tones, choose an “ash” shade.[3]

3. Avoid washing your hair 24 to 48 hours before coloring it. Unwashed hair will have plenty of natural oils in it, and these oils can protect your scalp and roots from irritation.[4] Even better, the dye will be able to penetrate the hair shaft better if it’s a little dirty. Unwashed hair is easier to work with when it comes to sectioning it before the actual dyeing takes place, as well.[5]

4.Section your hair. Properly sectioning your hair before you begin will help you get the most even coverage.[6] Divide your hair into four even sections. Use a hair clip to pin up each of these sections.[7] Keep several additional hair clips nearby, especially if you have very thick hair. You may need a little extra reinforcement once the dye is applied and your hair becomes heavier.
