Hair Dyeing Information
Introduction
Dyeing hair is common for women and men. Hair coloring is a form of self-expression. People enjoy changing their hair to another natural shade, or going completely creative with unnatural hues.
The following article presents information and tips on dyeing your hair. It is always better to seek the help of a professional, but it can be expensive; with attention and care, you can achieve the same results yourself.
Permanent or Semi-permanent
Permanent hair dyes will stay until you dye your hair again or the original shade grows from the roots. Semi-permanent dyes will begin to fade over the course of weeks due to washing and the passing of time. Permanent dyes usually will do more damage to the hair due to the inclusion of chemicals.
Tips
Choose a product that will rinse out relatively quickly the first time so you will definitely know if you like the color before doing something that lasts longer.
Have someone help with the process.
Always follow the directions provided with the dye kit.
Test an area of the hair first before proceeding to dye the whole head.
Leave your hair down while dyeing.
Part your hair into sections and apply the color from the roots to the ends.
Apply a layer of petroleum jelly at the hairline to evade dripping.
Wash your hair first before you dye it.
Do not condition your hair before you dye it.
Mistakes
Try to stay close to your natural color. Going too light makes hair look over-processed.
Be sure to cover all of the areas of your head.
Dyeing too often will dry and damage your hair.
Make sure you are dyeing somewhere with sufficient ventilation.
Be sure to protect your skin from the dye.
Be careful in dyeing your eyelashes or eyebrows.

Re: washing your hair before dyeing.
Only with a PH balanced shampoo (think head and shoulders), NO CONDITIONER!
