Myth #1. Dark hair is easiest to color

Myth #1: Dark hair is easiest to color.

This is a common myth, but it’s not true. While dark hair may take on color better than light hair and be more resistant to changes in color, the truth is that any type of hair can be difficult to work with when you’re coloring it at home. The reason for this has less to do with the actual shade of your locks and more about how healthy they are before you start working on them. If you want to help prevent damage during your next dye job or at-home highlighting session, make sure that your locks are in tip-top shape before applying any type of coloring agent—and if possible, always opt for well-trained professionals over amateur attempts!

Myth #2. If you color your hair and want to go back to your natural color, it’s easy

It’s also important to note that going back to your natural hair color after a dye job can be a bit more complicated than you might think. It’s possible that your new color could have damaged the hair strands, which may make it difficult for them to accept their original shade. If this happens, you’ll need to get professional help to fix the problem.

If you’re not convinced about spending money on professional treatments for getting back your natural color or if you’ve been doing it on your own with DIY methods and haven’t seen results yet, then maybe it’s time to talk with someone who knows what they’re doing!

Myth #3. Once you go gray you can’t go back

You can go back to your natural color, but it’s best to do so if you don’t want to. If you want to keep your gray hair, though, it will fade over time as your hair grows out.

It’s important that you know what you’re doing before going back. You should use a product like Nice & Easy Color Blend Foam—which comes in many shades—and follow the instructions carefully so that your hair looks natural and blends into the surrounding area of your scalp.

Also make sure not to use bleach or dye on top of gray hair because this could damage existing strands and lead them becoming lighter than they were before.

Myth #4. Gray hair is hard to color

The myth that gray hair is hard to color is a common one, but it’s not true. Gray hair is actually more difficult to color than non-gray hair, but it’s not because of the pigment itself—it’s because of the structure of your scalp.

Gray hairs are often porous and resistant to dyeing agents, which means they won’t absorb dyes as well as non-gray hairs do. They may also be coarser or more fragile than non-gray hair, so you’ll need a higher quality product in order for your colorant to hold properly during application

Myth #5. Natural highlights are the best way to add dimension to your hair

If you’re looking to add dimension and depth to your hair, highlights are definitely a great option. There’s just one thing: not all highlights are created equal.

Your average box-color highlight, aka foil highlights (which can also be done with balayage), uses a ton of bleach on your strands and doesn’t tend to last as long or look as natural as the more customized version that’s made possible by a talented colorist who specializes in natural-looking foils.

Myth #6. All-natural hair dye options work the same as chemical products

When you look for all-natural hair dye options, you might get the impression that natural products are better for your hair. But this isn’t always true. In fact, many chemical dyes can be gentler than others—and they don’t contain mineral oil or other ingredients that make your hair feel weighed down or greasy.

Your best bet is to try a few different kinds of dye and see what works best for you. If your hair feels heavy after using a chemical product, consider switching to an all-natural option that might not work as well in terms of color but does have fewer side effects on your scalp and strands over time. Additionally, if you’re trying one product at a time (as opposed to following through with multiple treatments), it may take longer for the results from any one brand or technique to show up on your locks (and then disappear).

Myth #7. You should never do your own highlights at home

You will save money by doing your own highlights at home. You can do the highlights on any color hair, whether it is bleached or not. Highlights can be done in braids and even while you shower! A highlighting kit will help you achieve this look as well.

Myth #8. If you have dark hair, you can’t have red or blonde highlights

You can add subtle blonde or red highlights to dark hair. If you’re looking for something more dramatic, colorists can use balayage techniques to add blonde or red highlights.

The key is choosing a shade that’s as close to your natural base color as possible. This way, you won’t end up with a super-bright highlight that looks out of place—and trust me, I’ve tried it many times before.

These color myths about hair will help you be a smarter person about color if you have any hair on your head

If you have any hair on your head, these myths will help you be smarter. The more hair you have, the smarter you are. The more colors of hair on your head, the smarter you are. The more myths about hair color that a person knows, the smarter they will be. And so on and so forth—the math is pretty simple.

The best part? As long as people keep believing these myths (and they most certainly will), there will never be an end to this beautiful cycle of wisdom!
