You're Doing it All Wrong: At-Home Hair ColorWhether you're making a major hair color change (DIY-style) or simply covering roots, chances are you're making at least one of these mistakes |
Coloring your hair at home can be a glorious experience. It's fast, it's inexpensive and the results can be fantastic -- if you do everything right.
With the correct technique, Clairol Color Director James Corbett believes you can even achieve results at home that are just as pretty as salon color.
However, many women completely botch their DIY jobs -- or simply aren't satisfied with the results. "It is important to use a color that is safe and gentle on hair, and that you follow instructions to ensure it doesn't over process and damage the hair follicle," says celebrity colorist and Creative Director of dpHUE Justin Anderson.
If you're unhappy with your hair color, chances are you're making one of these mistakes. The good news is with a few minor adjustments, you'll be on your way to highlighting, toning and covering grays with ease -- all in the comfort of your own bathroom.
