How to dye your hair at home

We highly recommend getting your hair coloured at a professional hairdresser. This will ensure the best results and colour is achieve, and your hair health is not compromised. At RPR Hair Care we offer a range of semi-permanent hair colours that allow you to refresh and maintain your colour at home. Our Vividmask range lets you create everything from vibrant, bold shades to soft pastel tones with ease. It’s also a fantastic way to maintain your hair colour and extend the life of your salon colour between appointments.

Can you dye freshly washed hair?

Yes, you can dye freshly washed hair, however, to help protect your scalp, it is recommended you wash your hair about 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. This will allow some natural oils to be present on your scalp and reduce any sensitivity during the colouring process.

More importantly you must attend your appointment with reasonably clean hair, free from product build-up, as this can hinder the colouring process. If you have excess build-up on your hair, you will need to wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo such as RPR My Clarifying Shampoo first, before colouring your hair.

How long does hair dye last?

Professional permanent hair colour such as RPR Mycolour can last up to 6-12 weeks. Its long-lasting results come from its advanced reconstructing mirco-pigments, cleverly replenishing, and restructuring the hair while colouring.

To prolong and maintain your hair colour at home, we recommend always using a colour care shampoo and conditioner range such as RPR Extend My Colour or SO Repairing to ensure your hair colour stays hydrated, vibrant and full of shine. Extending the length of time between washes will also help hair colour last even longer.
