Advice on dyeing natural hair
Hello my natural beauties! I need y'alls advice. I've been getting greyer and greyer, and I can't stand it. I purchased box dye from Dark & Lovely (the hazelnut color), and before I go all out, I wanted to gut check and see if there's any advice I can get from the group. Do I apply it on freshly washed hair or should it be a couple of days old? Do I do a full wash & go after washing the dye out?? I literally know nothing, lol.
For context, I've only done color once before, and it was blonde dimensional highlights a few years ago, right after getting a big chop. Since then, my hair has grown to the point where basically all of the highlights have been cut out in my trims so I'm assuming my hair is back to being considered "virgin". I *know* someone is going to come in here and try to say just get it done by a professional at the salon, but ya girl is trying to save a couple of dollars in this economy and feeling insecure about the growing forest of greys. Thanks in advance, I appreciate you all!!
