What is the difference between getting your hair died at a salon and at home?

I have just recently died my hair and it turned out horriable! so i got me thinking the same thing would have happened if i were


to go to a salon. In hair dye its pretty much all same chemicals so whats the difference if i were to dye my hair at a salon or at home?What is the difference between getting your hair died at a salon and at home?
They know what they are doing at the salon and the color they use is better than what we buy at the store. I have done my hair at home and had it done at a salon. I much prefer the salon.What is the difference between getting your hair died at a salon and at home?
The difference is probably the quality of the dye used. If you buy a 3-4 dollar kit, it's gonna look cheap and brassy. If you spring for a better brand, like L'oreal, the colors are more true, and turn out better.


It can also turn out poorly if you don't follow the directions exactly, or if you choose a bad color match for your skin tone.
No, they custom mix colors at salons for you. Alot of colors just dont go with natrual colors and will come out very bad. They will know if it will work on you or not. The chemicals are alot alike but the dyes are diffrent. If you follow directions perfectly and arent doing to radical of a hair color you can do it at home but it may come out very flat, like you painted your hair. So try the salon, if you hate it they should dye it back to your normal color for free.
