A hairstylist gives us a few tips on what to keep in mind when coloring your natural hair.
Like many chemical treatments, dyeing your natural hair requires a little research before taking the plunge. There's figuring out the best stylist to go to or, if you're going the DIY route, looking into the best kinds of products to use to get the job done. More than anything, you should want to know how you can color it safely so it doesn't wind up damaged or overprocessed in the end, especially if your hair is textured.
To learn a bit more about what to keep in mind when undergoing a color change, we got a few tips from Emmy-winning celebrity hairstylist Angela C. Styles. Check them out ahead.
Tip #1
Know How Your Hair Behaves
"If your hair is lower in porosity, it means that the hair dries fast when it's moisturized, therefore it'll get drier with color," Styles told POPSUGAR. "If the hair is higher in porosity, it'll retain color well and prevent hair from breaking."
Another thing to consider is how your hair has taken to past color treatments. If you've experienced excess damage, for example, it may be best to either reconsider your process, have a professional apply it for you, or refrain from dyeing your hair at all.
Tip #2
You Don't Always Have to Bleach It
It's also important to remember that if you're going from a dark hair color to a light one, you may need more than one session to make the change. According to Styles, if you're trying to boost dark hair up to the lightest blond, you'll have to do so in at least two to three sessions.
