- If someone can’t make it to the salon and wants to cover up their existing highlights, what should they consider when selecting a store-bought box dye?
Pre-dyed hair
If you dye already colored hair, being cautious is key. The process may be overwhelming and I recommend seeking professional help to achieve the desired results.
You need Vaseline and olive oil
The two products are handy when dying your hair to prevent staining the skin on the neck, hairline, or temples.
2. Are there some box dyes that are better than others? If so, which ones?
Definitely, yes. The less-damaging dyes, which are ammonia-free or contain low ammonia amounts. They may also have conditioning formulations that hydrate the hair with minimal breakage and brittleness risks. These products also come in varied options, such as semi-permanent or permanent plus different colors.
3. Are there box dye alternatives to consider?
Yes. They are;
- Professional dyes used by salonists containing numerous shades.
- Henna from Arabic plant.
4. When using a box dye, what are some tips and tricks to help achieve the best result?
What is your hair texture?
I recommend buying a warm color, such as bronze or golden, for individuals with curly and frizzy hair. But those with straight and fine hair, pick cooler colors, including beige and champagne.
For long hair, buy two
People with hair size going past the shoulders or shoulder-length need two boxes for complete coverage. Combine the dyes in a glass and not metallic bowl as they can react and change the shade.
5. Are there colors that work better at covering up highlights?
Yes. Examples are;
- Garnier Nutrisse
- Revlon color silk
- L’Oreal excellence cream
