Hair Dye Myths Finally Busted by a Hair Specialist

If you want to change the color of your hair, then go for it!

You can always change the color of your hair.

Hair is not permanent, so the color won’t last forever. If you ever want to change it again, you can – no problem! And if that’s not enough reassurance for you, think about this: even celebrities like Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus have dyed their hair crazy colors (she even cut off half of hers). So if these two are doing it, then maybe *you* should give it a try too?

If you have fine hair, don’t apply permanent dye more than twice a year.

If you have fine hair, don’t apply permanent dye more than twice a year. I know this may seem like common sense to some of you, but it can be easy for people who are trying out a new look or making a style change to forget the sensitivity of the hair follicle when it comes to coloring. Permanent dyes contain ammonia and other harsh chemicals that can damage your hair over time if used too often.

If your natural color is dark and you want lighter highlights, try semi-permanent dye instead of permanent. Semi-permanent dyes will cover your grey hair without damaging your scalp or causing breakage because they don’t contain any ammonia or peroxide like other kinds do (which are known culprits for dryness).

Opt for professional help.

If you’re looking to dye your hair, you may be asking yourself: what’s the best way to do it? While there are many different types of hair dye out there, it can be difficult to choose which one is right for you. You might think that going with a professional is too expensive or unnecessary, but this isn’t always the case. A professional stylist can help you choose the right color for your skin tone and eye color, as well as recommend a technique based on factors like texture and porosity (how porous your hair is). Additionally, they’ll help ensure that the dye stays in place until it’s time for a touch-up (which can happen within two weeks).

You can’t lighten dyed hair.

One of the most common hair dye myths is that you can’t lighten dyed hair.

This isn’t actually true, however not all shades can be lightened. If you have a dark shade and want to go lighter, then yes, you will need to use a color remover on your locks. There are also several ways to do this depending on what kind of results you’re looking for and where in the world you live:

  • You can try bleaching it in the sink with some hydrogen peroxide or ammonia-based products like Clairol Natural Born Blonde (which I swear by). The only downside is that this method won’t work if there’s still pigment left in the strands—so if they aren’t completely white yet after one wash…you’ll need something stronger! Or just get a friend who’s good at drawing things with markers to draw over those patches instead—same thing basically but looks way less messy 🙂 It takes practice though so don’t expect perfection right away unless maybe it was already perfect from day one? And also keep an eye out for any chipping around edges during application process because this stuff does tend fade quickly once applied onto skin surfaces without proper care taken beforehand (especially if being washed off immediately after application which should never happen anyway because washing hands before touching face; remember?).

Your roots will look good forever.

In order for your roots to show after a few weeks or months, you will need the following:

  • Hair dye is permanent and won’t wash out.
  • You don’t have time to go to the salon every four weeks for a touch-up.
  • You are not privy to any of these facts because they are too busy working on their screenplay or developing a new app that will revolutionize the way we communicate with people via text message (sheesh).

No one will notice if the color is off by a shade or two.

It’s easy to think that your color isn’t that noticeable and your friends probably won’t notice if it’s a few shades off. But the truth is, you’re probably wrong. What you may not realize is that different people have different hair types and those differences can cause their hair to look differently when it’s dyed.

For example, some people have very porous hair while others do not—and this will affect how the dye takes on their strands. The right choice of color for one person might be completely wrong for someone else, depending on their hair type. So if you want an exact match, it’s best to use a strand test kit instead of guessing at what shade will work best for you! This way there won’t be any surprises when you go from brunette back into blonde again (or even worse: black).

Dyed hair only needs shampooing once or twice a week.

It’s true that dyed hair takes longer to color than virgin hair. But that doesn’t mean it only needs to be shampooed once or twice a week!

The amount of time you should wash your hair depends on how often you use products in it. If you’re like me and use way more product than necessary, then yes, I would recommend washing more often (I wash mine every other night). However if you don’t use any products at all, then washing your hair less regularly is fine too. Dry shampoo can also help keep those oils at bay and make sure your style stays intact for longer periods of time between washes.

The best time to dye your hair is right before your vacation!

The best time to color your hair is when you have time to wait for the color to process. If you are in a rush or have a busy schedule and cannot stay out of the sun for weeks on end, then it’s okay to use box dye and do it yourself. However, be aware that if you are going somewhere sunny (like the beach), this may not be ideal because the chemical reaction from sunlight may change your hair color or even burn your scalp!

Just because your friend likes a certain product, it doesn’t mean that you will too.

It’s a common misconception that if your friend has great results from a certain hair product, you will too. The truth is, products can have different effects on people based on various factors. Hair type is one of these factors—if you don’t know what kind of hair you have, then it’s hard to know which products will work best for you.

Another factor could be genetics and environmental factors (like weather). Sometimes there are natural variations within an individual type of hair. For instance, some people may have thinner than average strands while others may have extremely thick strands that require more moisturizing and conditioning than usual. In addition to this, everyone’s body chemistry is different which means that products might react differently depending on each person’s particular biological makeup.

The bottom line: don’t rely solely on someone else’s experiences with a specific product before trying it yourself! A lot goes into choosing the right product for your needs so make sure that all variables are taken into account before making that purchase!

Don’t dye your greying hair, it will look unnatural.

You can dye grey hair, but choose the right shade.

Many people think that the only way to cover up greying hair is with one of those packet dyes you get at the supermarket. These are bad for your hair and won’t give you a natural looking colour—they also don’t last long at all! The best thing to do is visit your hairdresser (who will have experience working with grey or white strands) and ask them what they recommend. They may suggest going darker than you expected, which will be better than having a weirdly different hue across different parts of your head. If they don’t have any ideas, just make sure they use good quality products—the ones made by L’Oreal or Wella are always highly recommended by professionals in this area

Understand that there are several factors in play when deciding on what type of color and method to use on your hair before choosing one blindly.

When choosing a hair color, there are several factors that need to be considered to make sure it’s the best choice for your hair. Some of these include your skin tone, undertone and texture, as well as the condition of your hair and how much maintenance you’re willing to do on a regular basis. It’s important to understand these before deciding on what kind of dye will work best for you.
