7 Fast Fixes for Hair Color EmergenciesMaintaining your hair color can be a pain -- and expensive. See our quick tips to fix your hair color disasters at home |
Problem: Dry hair from frequent coloring Fast Fix: Semi-permanent dye
If you color every couple of months, you may be left with dry, coarse hair. Robinson says there are three great options to keep your hair looking healthy. "First, opt for a semi-permanent hair color, if you have less than 50 percent gray or are looking for a less dramatic change," she says. "Or do a root application when re-coloring your hair rather than coloring all over. That way, your grays and obvious roots are covered up without applying product over every strand." She also recommends applying a deep conditioning product to your hair each week to restore moisture.

i thought that you will give info on how to correct each type of color disaster like, multiple color from purple hair dye or orange color after bleach. but this is quite okay.

Not quite what I expected to see, but good advice none the less. I thought there would be ways to correct actual coloring disaster like purple hair from an ashy blonde or hair turning nearly black from a dark blonde dye kit... guess there aren't ways to fix that aside from going to the salon...

Several of these are helpful, although I disagree that side-braiding your hair makes grown-out roots or highlights any less noticeable.
