Understand Your Hair Type

Before you start preparing your hair for coloring, it's essential to understand your hair type. Different hair types require different approaches for optimal results. Consider whether your hair is oily, dry, damaged, or healthy, as this will determine the appropriate steps to take in the preparation process.

Oily Hair: Use a Clarifying Shampoo

If you have oily hair, it's essential to remove any buildup that may prevent the color from penetrating your hair evenly. Use a clarifying shampoo to cleanse your hair and eliminate any excess oil. It's best to wash your hair 24 to 48 hours before coloring to allow your scalp's natural oils to build up and protect your hair during the coloring process.

Dry or Damaged Hair: Deep Conditioning Treatment

For dry or damaged hair, a deep conditioning treatment is highly recommended before coloring.

Healthy Hair: Regular Maintenance

If your hair is in good condition, continue with your regular hair care routine. It's still essential to ensure that your hair is clean and free of any product buildup before coloring.
