When to Dye Your Hair?

Hair color experts (and hair color packaging directions) recommend dyeing your hair when it is dry. When hair is saturated with water, the dye may not take to the hair strands or become diluted, producing an undesirable result.

Can I dye my hair if I washed it this morning?

“Don't wash your hair before you get it colored. The color will take better.” FALSE. Hair color is always best absorbed on clean hair. A buildup of oils and styling products may protect your scalp from being irritated by chemicals, but a dirty head of hair will only turn off your stylist.

Can you dye your hair when it's greasy?

Yes, you can apply colour to oily hair, but you should also be careful doing so. The actual colour in the dye can be diluted if the hair is too greasy before you dye it.
