![]() ![]() If you're trying to replicate Jared Leto's lime-green Joker locks, a DIY job might not be the way to go.įYI: If you're interested in touching up those rapidly graying tresses, it's important to remember that gray hair tends to be less receptive to dye, so a product specially designed to target your salt-and-pepper temples is almost always going to be a better call than snagging a general-purpose alternative-no matter how alluringly packaged. In other words, keep it relatively simple. If that's the case, you should reach for a hair dye that’s about a shade or two darker than your natural hair color (or, alternatively a shade or two lighter). Ditto that if you're looking to try out a different shade, but one that still resembles your original hair color. Selecting the Right Dye for Your Hair Colorįirst things first: What color do you want your hair to be? If you're turning to hair dye as a means of staving off the inevitable march of time ever so slightly, you're going to need a concoction that blends in seamlessly with your natural hair color. Fair warning though, if your hair is more gray than any other color, it'd behoove you to find a colorist you trust who can work with you to ensure an even tone, helping you steer clear of any mortifying mistakes along the way. (All you need is a few nimble fingers and a little bit of free time.)īetter yet, if you are about that DIY life and are looking to merely make a few errant gray hairs disappear, then-ding ding!-you happen to be the perfect candidate for an at-home hair dye attempt. And at-home hair dye tends to be thinner than its salon counterparts to allow for intuitive application sans any of the tools a professional colorist would typically have on-hand. If you're thinking about attempting a good ol' fashioned DIY operation you're in luck: Today, the best home-dye kits are specifically designed for easy use, leaving minimal room for serious color-related fiascos at any point during the process. Choosing Between an At-Home Hair Dye or a Trip to the Salon ![]() Invest in any of these products and you, too, can *cue dramatic theme music* live to dye another day. Whether you're simply trying to cover up a few premature signs of aging or shock the living daylights out of your straight-laced colleagues with a fluorescent new 'do, here's everything you should consider before taking the plunge. (And if you're really stressing the final results, you might want to consult a professional colorist first.) But what's life without a little risk-at least when it comes to something as all-important as your hair? Worried you'll fuck it all up? Well, sure.
