Using permanent colour at home
First, mix your ingredients, put on your gloves and apply the mix onto your hair using the applicator, making sure to cover from root to tip. Leave it in for the recommended time stated on the packaging. Rinse and follow with the accompanying conditioner.

A lot of the time, people underestimate the amount of hair dye needed to fully cover those greys the first-time round, so if your hair is thick and long grab an extra box. And, most importantly, you must always remember to do an allergy patch test 48 hours before dyeing your hair.

5 Top Tips for Anyone going Grey

1. Think Positive
Grey can be gorgeous; living with grey – accepting it rather than denying it – requires a change in mindset. Learn to love what Mother Nature is doing to you and due to its different texture and lack of colour, grey hair can become a very attractive feature. If you add the right hair colour, your ‘grey’ hair will act as highlights, giving you a completely new look that will get you noticed for all the right reasons.

2. Dark to Light
Professional colourists usually recommend a darker shade for your roots and a lighter shade that matches your natural hair for the rest. Start by applying the darker dye to the roots (about an inch or so down) and then use the lighter shade for the rest of your hair.

3. Keep it Conditioned
Grey is one thing; wiry, brittle hair and split ends are another. Whenever you use at home hair colour, you have to work even harder to keep your hair looking vibrant and healthy. That means conditioning, and nourishment; intense conditioning treatments are a must. A healthy, balanced diet and moderated lifestyle won’t do your hair any harm either, and go easy on those heated styling tools too.
