How to Color Hair After Using L'Oreal Feria Metallic Dyes
Metallic hair dyes are those that include lead salts, silver or the ingredient bismuth. According to the Hair Dressing website, metallic dyes can change the texture of the hair, as well as negatively interact with other chemically based treatments, such as perming. L'Oreal Feria, however, contains none of these traditional metallic dye ingredients. Therefore, changing the color of your hair after using Feria depends on the shade you desire, when you applied it and the color that you currently have in your hair. Does this Spark an idea?

Evaluate Your Hair

1
Determine how long it has been since you last dyed your hair. All hair color, including Feria, works in the shaft of your hair and leaves chemical deposits that work to change the hair's color. Consequently, you must wash your hair several times to reduce the strength of these chemical products before you attempt to re-color if your last dye project was recent. Otherwise, you are essentially mixing the ingredients of two products and will most likely not get the results that you want.

Examine your hair. If your hair is severely damaged, wait until you have time to repair your hair before you attempt to change hair colors because you hair needs to be strong to withstand the use of chemicals.

Do research on the products and their ingredients to determine if you can recolor without professional help if you do not intend to use another Feria color. You also have the ability to contact most of the hair color companies by telephone to inquire whether or recoloring using a different product over Feria is safe. Look for the pamphlet that comes in the hair color box for the telephone number.
