These special stem cells develop into the cells ( melanocytes) that supply the pigment ( melanin) for hair production.Īt a certain point in time, which varies greatly from individual to individual, the cells (melanocytes) no longer produce the natural pigment (melanin) responsible for hair color. Each of the approximately 100,000 hair follicles of the human scalp has an individually determined supply of stem cells for the production of hair color. "Leave it down until the timer rings." Get yourself a hair coloring gown ( Amazon has four packs for under $20) so that you have something you don't mind getting a little bit of dye on - you definitely don't want to mess up any clothes you actually care about in the process.As with the growth of hair, a genetic age clock is ticking for natural hair color. "The color won't be even when you rinse it out," says Ionato. You know how the models in the commercial always have their dye-coated hair artfully twisted up into a bun? Don't do that. "It dilutes the dye but still gives you a pinch of color and shine," says Louis Licari of the Louis Licari Salon in New York City. Shake it up and apply the mixture to your ends. Instead, three minutes before you're supposed to rinse, add two squirts of shampoo into the dye left in the bottle. If your ends are very dry and you're dyeing your entire head, don't put dye on your ends.

"People can miss spots, or don't know how to get the back." To prevent this, use clips to create four sections and work through them front to back. "Be organized about the application," says Brooke Jordan, head stylist with The Bird House salon in NYC. To avoid patchiness, create a middle part that runs to the back of your head and split the hair into four sections - two in front of the ears and two in back. It may mean working strand by strand, adds Robinson, who suggests using an eye shadow brush for extra precision.
"If you have a gray headband along your hairline, get a semipermanent dye and only color that area," says colorist Rita Hazan, the founder of Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. If you're targeting grays, you don't have to dye your whole head.
"It's safer to choose a color that's a bit lighter from the get-go." "Semipermanent formulas don't have a developer, meaning they get darker and darker the longer you leave them in your hair," says Ionato. With semipermanent dye, however, err on the lighter side of the color you're looking to achieve. The rule is as follows: For permanent dye, choose a color a smidge darker than what you want because of the strong developer, says Ionato. "The developer in at-home permanent dyes is very strong - stronger than the ones we use in the salon - so it lifts the color and makes it lighter than what you see on the box." Instead, look at the little swatch at the top of the box - it's a better representation of how the hue will actually look on your hair. "The color always ends up lighter than the model's hair on the packaging," says colorist Dana Ionato of the Sally Hershberger Downtown salon in New York City. Sure, the woman smiling on the front of the box looks beautiful, but the color of her hair is a fantasy.
