How do I test my Garnier hair color? ›

The best way to test Garnier hair colour is to try before you buy! Trying on any shade is now as easy as using a filter, thanks to our Virtual Try On technology. To get started, you need to select whether to try on live with your phone's camera or webcam, or if you prefer to upload a selfie. Either works great!

The YouCam Makeup app is available for Android and iOS, and definitely one of the best hair color apps out there.

One of the most important things to remember when it comes to post-dye hair care is that you should always wait at least two full days before washing your hair. Why? Experts recommend waiting this long to give your hair time to properly seal in the new color.

Here's how long you can expect your colour to last and how to extend it. Ideally, permanent hair colour for women would stay just as vibrant as it was the day you coloured it, at least until the roots grow. On most heads of hair, that would mean a good 6-8 weeks between touch-ups.

"Semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair color can be applied to wet or dry hair, but wet hair application in not recommended for permanent hair color." Meanwhile, permanent color changes require a dry hair application. This could mean going lighter, or darker.

Apply the semi-permanent hair color on dry or damp hair. Towel-dried hair will allow it to soak up the color better. Spread the color evenly onto the desired areas.

Start by parting the back of your hair down the center. Then, cover up any dyed sections of hair so that you're able to focus on evaluating your scalp. Have a friend match the color against our color chart to figure out the color closest to your own. For best results, make sure you're in bright, natural lighting.

"If you leave your color on for too long, there is potential for extra deposit of pigment to occur. You can't make your hair too light by leaving a tint color on too long (unless you're bleaching), but it can make your hair darker than intended," says Tardo.

Is it better to wash out hair dye with warm or cold water? ›

Keep it cool. To keep your new hair colour vivid and bright, we recommend washing your hair with cold water (as cold as is bearable). Cold water keeps the hair cuticles closed and therefore stops the colour running out and fading too soon. Warm water is the enemy!

Rinse With Cold Water

“Hot water fades color faster, especially if you have a vivid color,” says Ellis. Washing your hair with cool or cold water can help minimize fading, but it also helps seal the cuticle and retains more moisture on your scalp, strands, and skin.

no…it's not advantageous in any way to leave boxed hair colour in overnight. There are several reasons. Boxed dye will ONLY have any effect for 45 to 60 minutes then, “shuts off”. Leaving it on longer will only make a huge mess and do nothing.

Permanent hair color

Permanent hair color is the most long lasting hair color as it doesn't wash off. It is usually used when you want to lighten or darken your hair. If you are looking to cover your greys or opt for a global color, it is best to choose a permanent hair color shade.

Like all Garnier shades, the Olia and Nutrisse ranges are labelled according to a base number (between 1 and 10) followed by one or two reflect numbers after the decimal point (between 1 and 6). For base colours, 1 is black and 10 is a very light blonde; for reflects 1 is ash and 6 is red.

To determine your level, take a section of hair from the crown of your head and hold it out where you can see it, away from the rest of your hair. Then, compare it to our level chart, with level 1 being the darkest (black) and level 10 being the lightest (light blonde).
