I have been thinking of cutting and dyeing my hair for a while now, feels good to start over as a naturalista and have a bit of a hair change. My interest in doing this has made me to research on tips i need to know before i take this step and I also know that this venture means i will have to take better care of my hair, since i have altered it via the coloring.
Before we talk of after coloring tips, let’s look at a few things you need to know before you color your hair
First of all (go down low.lol) ensure you picked a shade of dye that would suit your skin tone. You don’t want to look like an “agbero” because you wanted a different hair color. It is advised that you go two shades darker or lower than you real hair color. If you do decide on something drastic, like a red or purple, biko, try to google people that are close to your skin tone and what it looked like on their hair.
