Another big mistake is not following the instructions on the pack.
Although it may seem obvious, it’s something people seem to relax about when they shouldn’t.
Instead, “always apply the box color to the roots to avoid overlapping.”
He also advises taking your time to apply the dye to your hair in sections.
Lastly, if you have gray hair, the biggest mistake is often slightly different.
And it all comes down to not leaving the dye on for long enough.
“Most box color formulas have limited coverage,” Friscioni points out.
“I would recommend an extra 10 minutes more for gray coverage.”
