If you have finally decided to give your hair a stylish makeover then you need to learn all about the tips to feel and live it like a pro without any mistakes or regret in the process. Colouring your hair is not picking up grocery as the type of colour and its quality should go with your scalp not creating any issues of itchiness or rashes. Also, one should have detailed knowledge of picking out the procedure and should follow these do’s and don’ts the next time you wish to put exciting shades to your strands.
The don’ts for the day
1.Never apply the colour on damp hair
Always completely dry your hair before you apply the colour to your strands. In a dry state, you can take a look at the patches and spots that do not have enough colours and can create a uniform application.

2. Do not condition your hair before applying the colour
Conditioning mostly closes the pores and makes your hair smooth which becomes a barrier for the hair colour. Thus, if you wish to shampoo or condition your hair then complete the process one night before the day you decide to colour your hair.
3. Do not start without research
Always start your research first before applying hair colour as it is an irreversible process. Once you bleach your parts, you need your roots to grow back to get the original colour which can be a long and frustrating process. Therefore, it is best to first read the blogs and research more about your scalp and then start the process.
4. Do not layer the colours
If you layer colours very often then your hair colour will stop fading as a point and to gain a new look you need to go down the process of bleaching again which can damage the hair strands and follicles.
The do’s for the day
1. Always start with hair parting
Do not right away start colouring your hair but always make sections and parts using hair clips and hair ties and easily apply the paste on the strands. It might be time-consuming but trust the process and wait for the results. You can also have a helping hand.

2. Always bleach your hair twice
To create a platinum base and for a long-lasting stay, apply bleach on the strands twice to get the lightest blonde effect and then tone it with your colour base to get a shining and vibrant result.
3. Always tone your hair
After bleaching, many girls skip this process which is important and strongly recommended. Toning helps you to get rid of the yellow-orange undertones and allows you to get a bright and vibrant result.
4. Always wash your hair with cold water
Never apply warm water right after colouring your hair as it would bleed and fade fast. To get a permanent and long-lasting effect you should opt for cold water for every wash after your hair colour if possible.

Bottom line
Colouring your hair is an important fashion commitment and has become a style statement. Where older age groups prefer hair dyeing to hide their grey hair, the younger generations love to experiment with hair strands or global colour tones to get a shiny and stunning look. However, all age groups and stylists should care about these small tips and then should move ahead with the final decision.
