BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Hair Not enough dye

Hi, new here...

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if its possible to add something like conditioner or shampoo to a boxed hairdye to increase the amount. I only have one and I dont want to go buy another one and I've got too much hair for just one. I've heard you can add something but I dont remember what! Any info would be appreciated! Thanks <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

While adding a bit of shampoo or conditioner to increase the amount, you will only add cleaning products and not the stuff that makes your hair color differently. The result of this is poorer coverage of each hair strand and maybe even a different shade of color.

I'll tell you my experience just to compare:
I asked my hair prof to color my hair in a level 4 almost 2 months ago and when she was almost done covering the hair in coloring cream, she noticed that she didn't have enough. She didn't start adding shampoo or conditioner. No, she used the same products to get that little extra products so she could cover all my hair strands evenly with coloring product. It looked very nice.

BTW,
I'm getting a level 3 coloring at the 24th of August. Can't wait for it, especially since I start to see the difference in color of the roots.

Counting the days until it's 24/08. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hi Terra,
You can add shampoo or conditioner to tint, but the result will be a hair color 'wash'. It is much weaker than the original, will provide a weaker color appearance and usually will not last as long.

When I run low, I add more developer.
