Expert Tips on Hair Coloring
A top New York City hair pro reveals how to get (and maintain) the perfect color.
At Home
It’s easy to dye at home if you do a single process, which covers grays, and you vary only slightly from your natural shade.
For highlights or a dramatic change (from brown to blond, for example), see a professional. Before applying color, dab petroleum
jelly around your hairline to prevent staining. Start a timer (set to the recommended time) when you begin coloring. When
it rings, rinse hair all at once.
