DIY DYE TIPS

Famed colourist Josh Wood shares his top tips for flawless colour...

1 PICK THE RIGHT SHADE

Take a look at your natural root colour (the colour between the greys) in daylight, and match a shade to this section of your hair, rather than the ends.

2 PREP AHEAD

Preparation is key. Your hair shouldn’t be too dirty and should be brushed through. Make sure you’ve got all the tools – your wide tooth comb, bowl and brush, gloves and a towel around your shoulders.

3 SECTION HAIR

I always recommend the ‘hot cross bun’ method. Create a parting down the centre of the head, and another horizontally, so you’re left with four sections.

4 MAINTAIN

Great hair colour isn’t possible without great condition, and moisturised hair will maintain its vibrant colour for longer. So I tell my clients to use a good-quality hair mask at least once a week.
