DIY hair colouring is only for those who know exactly what they want

Here are some tips to follow for impeccable results:

PREPARE YOUR HAIR

Make sure your hair is healthy and strong enough for a chemical transforma­tion, to prevent damage like breakage and hair loss.

WASH THOROUGHLY

Before applying the hair colour, use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of product build-up. Follow it up with a deep conditione­r to restore moisture on the hair and scalp. If you don't feel confident enough, get someone more experience­d to help you with this task.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIO­NS

Get everything you need before you start. First read and follow the instructio­ns during every step of the process. Do a strand test before you commit to a colour, and start from the roots first. Use two boxes if your hair is longer.

DON’T OVER PROCESS

Use a timer. Stick to the recommende­d period for maximum results. Rinse off the dye as soon as the time's up.
