The perfect tool for disguising unwanted greys and hiding root re-growth, the Color Sticks could be the saving grace a number of us have been looking for… So, let's get down to the nitty-gritty!

Brittle, split, and dry hair won't take hair dye the same way healthy hair does. If your hair is damaged, the dye's chemicals will penetrate the hair cuticles differently, and you may end up with patchy or faded color. Prep your hair before you color to make sure all your strands are as healthy as they can be!
Keeping your hair moisturized keeps that cuticle sealed, thus the hair retains the dye longer. It is a good idea to condition any time you wash your hair and deep condition once a week, paying special attention to the last 1-3 inches at your ends where breakage and dryness is most likely to occur.
Because there's no oxidation process involved in using semi-permanent dyes, the recommended amount of time is 20 to 30 minutes. But some people who want brighter or darker hair color need to leave hair dye in for longer. And it's okay to leave it in for longer because semi-permanent hair dye won't dry out your hair.
A hair stick (also hairstick) is a straight, pointed device, usually between five and nine inches (13 cm to 23 cm) in length, used to hold a person's hair in place in a hair bun or similar hairstyle.
The color wheel shows which colors cancel out which. Green and green-based ash cancel out red, magenta and orange. Blue and blue based colors and toners cancel out orange and yellow orange. Violet, purple and purple based toners cancel out yellow and pale yellow.
The color remover (Efassor, Bond Enforcing Color Remover) enters the hair and removes any artificial color pigment, but your natural pigment remains untouched. This will leave your natural hair color intact and will not damage your hair.
Should You Wash Your Hair Before Coloring? As it turns out, most hair dyes are designed to work better on hair that is not freshly washed. Skipping a wash allows for oils to build up on your scalp, which in turn helps protect against irritation that can be caused by hair dye.
Let the hair color develop for the amount of time indicated on packaging directions. Then comb it through the rest of your hair to distribute it evenly and avoid a two-tone effect. Work in four to six sections like salon pros do (use hair clips as you go if you wish) to ensure full coverage.
While stylists generally recommend skipping a few washes a week to achieve healthier hair, you might need to scrub it prior to your colorist appointment so your stylist can get an accurate look at your hair's natural color and texture. The same applies for darker tones.
1. Blonde Highlights. There are three reasons we recommend blonde highlights Opens in a new tab when covering grays. First up, the difference between blonde and silver shades is subtle, so gray roots won't appear as visible - even if it's been six to eight weeks since you last went to the salon.
Purple: Cancels YELLOW| Purple can help hide yellow skin tones or complexion, as well as sallowness – counteracting yellow and green tones.

If you leave permanent hair dye on your hair for too long, your hair will turn darker than expected because the process of oxidation is continuing and changing the tone of your locks. Brittle hair tends to darken more as well due to its weak structure, allowing for quicker absorption.
Hair should not be excessively dirty, sweaty or oily. Dirty hair does not “grab color better” *see next slide. However, you want there to be a natural protective oil layer on your scalp to act as a barrier against the chemicals in the hair dye. Wear your normal makeup routine to your appointment.
