Don’t go too far from your natural color
The final results you will get after dyeing you hair depend more on you natural hair color than on the products you will be using.

Know your hair goals!
Sometimes we decide on dyeing our hair just to enhance our natural hair color and add up some life to it. Ask yourself if that’s what you wanna do, or do you want to try on a darker or lighter shade? Going for the same or a darker shade is usually an easy task. The hard mission is to go from a brunette to a total blond for example, that would certainly require to be done by a professional hair styler. To make few of your locks stand out and add flavor to your haircut, but not much of a change, consider adding highlights.

consider your skin color
The color of your hair could either compliment or fade that of your skin. In order to not end up looking pale, make sure to pick a hair color that rhymes with your skin tone, and that would make your eyes stand out and shine bright. A hair color that suits your skin color will also compliment your facial features and add up to your beauty.

Keep your hair color unified
After dyeing your hair, you should avoid shampooing it for the next 48 hours so that the color won’t get washed away, or faded. But it will fade eventually after so many showers, and with your hair growing and roots showing up. So what you need to do, is to occasionally dye your roots with the same color of the rest of your hair. After a while, when the color starts fading and looses it’s healthy glitter, you will need to dye your hair all over again, and it will be up to you whether to keep the same color or make a change.
