FAQs
What steps are involved when you dye your hair for the first time?
The process starts with a consultation, then applies dye from roots to tip, followed by waiting, rinsing, and a deep conditioning treatment. The final step is a blow dry to reveal your new look. These stages ensure even colour application and hair protection.
How do you ensure even hair colour from root to tip?
Even coverage is achieved by starting at the crown and working down, coating the hair all over with dye. This technique makes sure the new colour is consistent throughout your whole head, giving a smooth, vibrant result.
What happens after your hair dye is applied at a salon?
After the dye is on, you wait for the colour to develop, then your hair is washed out and treated with a deep conditioning treatment. This protects your hair and helps the new colour stay fresh. A professional blow dry completes the service and finishes the transformation.
