Dyeing your hair is an activity that you can do at home, and without any complications, except for one: make sure that the dye or color does not splash and stain your clothes or skin.

A hair dye is designed to penetrate the follicle and impart color. And, in the same way, it can penetrate the skin causing dark spots that, apart from being unsightly, are very difficult to remove.

Although dyeing at home is cheaper, we can make mistakes such as: not wearing gloves to apply the color, not wearing a cape to avoid staining clothes, and not applying protective oil around the hairline to avoid dark spots.
