Ask a Professional: Stylist Q & A
Is it better to come with dirty hair to my color appointment?
Back in the day, the ammonia in color was more prevalent, and a dirty scalp was reccomended as a protective barrier. But we have come a long way with color technology and it is much gentler thankfully. The professional guidelines suggest a clean, dry scalp for best results. It also helps us to better see what we are working with. It doesn’t have to be freshly washed but try not to go more than 2 days past a cleanse.
