After your patch test at home, it may be tempting to color your entire head. Hair experts' views on this? Don't! Unless you've colored your hair at home before, this is not advised, especially if you've previously gotten a salon color treatment. Clairol color director James Corbett lent his expertise to Goop, pointing out that roots' base color vastly differs from the dyed part of the hair. Therefore recoloring the entire head could dull the look of your hair. DIY coloring can give you a boost of confidence, but for the sake of your tresses, stick to the roots.
While there is nothing like a salon dye job, at-home root touch-ups aren't all bad. If you need an excellent visual to follow along with, Clairol demonstrates at-home root touch-ups in a video that has attracted over 2.7 million views. Contact your stylist to walk you through the process or offer some best practices when in doubt. The results may not be perfect, but they'll certainly hold you over until your next professional dye job.
