** Top Ten Hair Dying Mistakes **

I have looked over a bunch of material and have found the below ten mistakes to be the most common when dying hair.

1: Dying eyebrows and eyelashes. Never use hair dye on eyebrows and eyelashes! Ask for medical help when dye gets into your eye.

2: Forgetting to check for allergic contents. After choosing a brand, apply a tiny amount of hair dye near your neck or behind your ear to see if irritation, redness, inflammation, allergy, hair loss or any bad reactions occur. Wash the affected area right away if this happens. Remember the instructions carefully. Do the patch test 1-2 days before hair dye application.

3: Using hair conditioner before you dye. Do not condition your hair a few hours before applying hair dye, shampooing will do the trick. Your hair needs to be free of free radicals such as dirt and oil as much as possible.

4: Applying dye to dirty, tangled hair. Deep condition your hair a month before dying to maintain color. Be sure your hair is relatively clean before applying. Trim hair especially dry and split ends to even out color. Hair should be slightly damp when dye is applied.

5: Doing your entire head without testing a small amount of your hair first. Do a strand test by applying a bit of dye to a few stands of your hair to see if you got the right color.

6: Staining your skin or clothes. Protect your skin by wrapping a towel around your neck as the dye can irritate your skin or affect your clothes. Gloves should be used and must be included in a hair dye kit. Applying petroleum jelly or cream around your ears and neck part will keep off stains. Wipe off oil after shampooing. If you do happen to stain your skin, don't worry, rubbing alcohol will remove dye stains from your skin.

7: Choosing hair dye based on what the model on the box looks like. Consult the local salon or stylist on what colors would look best on you. The hair dye you choose should have the same tone as your skin color.

8: Picking a color that does not fit with your natural hair color. Pick a color one shade lighter when dying your roots. This will make the transition from your colored hair back to your natural hair color graceful without roots that are a completely different color sticking out. Obviously, this rule does not apply if you are dying your hair a completely different color than your natural hair color.

9: Over-dying hair. If you did not achieve the desired effect, using Liquid Tide can correct this. A couple of days of use will lighten the color until your hair returns to the original color. Instead of over-dying, do touch-ups every four to five weeks to keep your hair color picture perfect.

10: Losing hair. After dying, always rinse with cold or tepid water to avoid your own hair from falling out.

Here is a general list for you to keep in mind when trying to achieve professional hair dying results::

- Read the Instructions.
- Prepare.
- Have the time without rushing.
- Separate hair into two quadrants. Then clip each part.
- Wear plastic gloves while mixing dye solution. Follow the directions written on the box.
- Squeeze a small amount of coloring into one quadrant. Streak thin stripes of color over the whole area of the quadrant. Put a clip on the colored part.
- Repeat the process after you have completed coloring the four quadrants.
- Consult instructions on how long you should leave it. Add a couple of minutes of wait to that of the suggested treatment time.
- Put on left over color mix to the entire head after a few minutes.
- Rinse with cold water.
