"I want to leave you with a few tips to make sure that your hair color turns out properly. From using the kits that you use from the drug store, from the local general store, you want to make sure that your hair is processed properly prior to hair color. By using a clarifying shampoo, it's going to remove any build up on your hair. Using a regular shampoo is not going to do that. By using a protein base condition, it's going to even out the process of your hair. A regular conditioner won't do that. You have to do that to assure your color is going to be to achieve the process you expect. By using a wide tooth comb you're not tugging at the hair, you're not breaking or damaging any hair, you're being gentle to the hair is extremely important at all times, whether you're coloring hair or not. And then by rinsing it with the warm water, vs. the cold or hot water, the warm water is going to retain everything, all the processing you just did. You want to make sure the conditioner is rinsed out really well, because if you don't rinse the conditioner out well enough, then the color has nothing to apply to, it will just slide right off. So make sure that it's rinsed well, and any conditioner that has the protein has actually absorbed into the hair shaft. So you won't have a problem with that. Make sure you can hair towel dry it. Once of the most important tips is you don't want to scrub the hair with the towel, you just want to do a squeeze, nice gentle squeeze. And those are some good tips, and good luck with your hair color."
