Need an at-home hair dye touch up?
Before experimenting, call your colorist. "Ask a few basic questions about the shade they usually use to color your hair, so you know what kind of shade to purchase," Bodt explains. If you are still unsure about which color to go for, Bodt stresses the importance of erring on the lighter side. "Start out with the lighter shade or mix the two together," she says, since it's much easier to go darker.
Before mixing your desired color, Bodt recommends slipping on a button-down shirt. "Grab a collared shirt you don't care about," she says, "you can take it off and run into the shower the second the timer goes off." Next, toss a towel around your neck and section the hair off. "Start by coloring the back of the head," she notes, since the hair at the front of the head is a bit finer and will grab onto color much faster.
To avoid staining your skin with the dye, "be sure to apply a little chapstick or vaseline around your hairline." Should you get some of the solution on your shirt, the pro suggests dabbing a Tide-to-go stick on the area. "It's kind of hard to mess up," she says, but warns against using a dye made of henna. "It sits on the hair shaft and is almost impossible to lift out or change after the fact.
