Hair dye is supposed to be left on for a certain amount of time, but if the color stays on the hair too long it can cause dryness and irritation. If your scalp becomes sensitive, red or itchy after coloring more than once in 6-8 weeks, you might have an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in your hair dye. It’s important that when you buy hair dye from dollar store that you read all the instructions – even follow them religiously because if not then [leave it in too long] [it may damage your hair]. In addition to causing allergies, leaving hair dye on too long can also cause skin irritations such as burns since some people leave hair dyes on their head much longer than necessary. To avoid all these problems, you should always follow the instructions of the hair dye carefully.
How Does Hair Dye Work?
Hair dye will work to change the color of your hair only if it has its contact with the hair strands. So, following a correct application is very important. Different types of hair dyes have their own specific instructions for use which you should carefully read before applying any one of them on your head. In general, all kinds of hair dyes work in much the same way as those that are used commercially or applied by salon professionals. Hair dyes mostly contain hydrogen peroxide and ammonia which together form a strong alkali. These products open up the cuticles on the surface of the hairs and make them absorb color more efficiently.
Harmful Ingredients In Hair Dye
Although parabens are added to hair dye in very small amounts, it is found that they can cause damage to the body over a period of time. The presence of the mentioned chemicals in the blood has been recorded even if just applied to hair and not taken orally. Parabens might also be accountable for early puberty in some women. That’s why you need to know which products use them and buy one that doesn’t contain them.
Recommended time to leave in hair dye on hair?
What is recommended time to leave in hair dye on hair all depends on what type of permanent or semi permanent colorant you are using and how long your desired outcome is. If you are using demi or semi permanent hair color then you should leave the dye on your hair for around 15 minutes, if you are using a permanent hair dye then you need to leave it in for longer. In general, the darker your natural hair color is, the more time it will take to achieve a lighter shade. Thus, someone with dark brown or black hair can usually achieve a light brown shade in as little as 20 minutes but it may take up to 30 minutes depending on several factors such as how much dye was used and how resistant your current color is.
For those who have been coloring their hair regularly over the years could have quite resistant strands because of all those chemicals that have been applied to their locks. Thus, extra time is needed to dye the hair when compared to someone who has never tried doing anything like this before. But if you feel like your current shade looks great, there is no need to make any changes at all because it will fade in time anyways. The only reason why people would want to use semi or permanent color is because they are constantly changing their look by using different colors and styles of dyeing which makes fading inevitable.
For those who do not want their natural color to fade, then that is when they should change up their whole appearance with a new cut, style and/or color which in return will brighten up the hair. People always say that blondes have more fun but red can be just as exciting if not more so depending on the person wearing it. If you like to switch things up often and try different hair colors and styles, then it is best advised to use permanent dye every time because those will last much longer than anything that is semi or demi permanent.
But if you feel as though your current color is fun and exciting enough for now, then there is no need to do anything at all especially since it should fade out in a couple of weeks anyways. Going blond requires special care compared to other colors because the sun can easily strip away your beautiful shade with one quick exposure. It is always wise to use either a good sunscreen like my favorite COOLA Organic Scalp Spray & Hair Sunscreen Mist or protective styling when spending lots of time outdoors during summer months just in case you want your blonde locks looking their best even during the hot season.

Hair Porositiyy and Hair Dye
It is often seen that box color or home dye products are not able to give the desired results on highly porous hair. The solution for this problem is very simple, but you need to follow instructions carefully to get effective results using it.
