Colouring at home can seem daunting, but with the right advice and the right products, it is entirely possible to achieve professional results. In Montreal and Laval, many people choose to dye their hair at home for reasons of convenience and cost. At NYM Coiffure, we want to share our expertise to help you succeed in your home coloring and achieve breathtaking results.

How to choose the right color for your hair?

• Consider your skin tone : Choose a color that complements your skin.
• Test a small strand : Before dyeing your entire hair, try the color on a small section.
• Consider your natural color : Colors that are close to your natural color require less maintenance.
  
  

Choosing the right color is crucial to achieving a satisfactory result. It’s important to choose a shade that complements your skin tone. For example, warm tones like caramel and gold work well for warm skin tones, while cool tones like platinum and ash are great for cooler skin tones. At NYM, we also recommend testing the color on a small strand before applying it to all of your hair to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Finally, choosing a color that is close to your natural shade can make maintenance and transition easier.

Preparation before coloring:

• Protect your skin and clothing : Use a cape or an old towel and apply petroleum jelly around the hairline.
• Follow the instructions : Read the coloring product instructions carefully.
• Prepare your tools : Have everything you need (brush, gloves, mixing bowl).
  
  

Proper preparation is essential for successful coloring at home. Before you begin, make sure to protect your skin and clothing. Applying petroleum jelly around the hairline can prevent dye stains on the skin. Always follow the instructions that come with your hair color product to ensure the best results. Prepare all the tools you’ll need, such as gloves, a brush, and a mixing bowl, so you don’t get caught off guard during the process.

After coloring:

• Rinse thoroughly : Use warm water until the water runs clear.
• Use post-color products : Apply conditioners and masks specifically designed for color-treated hair.
• Avoid frequent washing : To prolong the color life, wash your hair less often and use a dry shampoo between washes.
  
  

The care after coloring is just as important as the preparation. After rinsing the dye thoroughly, use products specifically designed for color-treated hair to maintain your hair’s shine and health. Post-color conditioners and hair masks help moisturize and protect your hair. Avoid washing your hair too frequently to prolong the color life. Using a dry shampoo between washes can also help keep your color fresher for longer.
