If you are stressing about your hair right now, you’re not alone. With hair salons closed, people are making use of at-home hair dyeing kits now more than ever. However, before you buy your own, it’s important to consider some serious mistakes you could make while attempting to dye your hair at home.
Keep reading for what you should watch out for!
Bleaching your hair at home is probably the worst mistake you can make considering there are so many ways it can go wrong.
Emaly Baum, a colorist based in New York City, explained why to HuffPost, describing bleaching your hair as “the most intense chemical process you can do.”
She explains, "To do it at home, there’s just so much that can go wrong. You can make your hair orange, it can fall out, and all sorts of terrible things can happen."
Leaving the bleach to the professionals is your best bet.
Baum continues, "I think doing it [dyeing your hair at home] in general is a huge mistake and I would never recommend doing it."
With that in mind, waiting to dye your hair until lockdown is over is the best way to avoid doing some serious damage and get the results you actually want.
