Question about dying hair

[flipflopsandwine]

I do at home dye all the time. It's a shade similar to my natural but with a little more red. I usually do it the same day or day after washing. Anyone know if it's cool to do it on 3rd day hair that's had dry shampoo in it? I don't want the dry shampoo to mess anything up.

I don't think the dry shampoo would react with the color adversely, but I would be concerned about not getting the color applied as evenly or thoroughly because of the dry shampoo acting as a barrier. I do my own base/root color in between appointments and try to do it on 1st day hair because I seem to get better results when my hair is clean.

Ok thanks! I'll wash in the morning and dye in the afternoon. It's supposed to be rainy all day so I don't plan to leave the house.

I wouldn't chance it with the dry shampoo.

My stylist told me clean hair absorbs color better. Do it on first day hair for best the best results. I always wash the night before an appointment and keep styling to a minimum.

My sister and I use baby powder when we dyed our hair. We never had any issues. Dry shampoo shouldn't mess your hair up at all.

Thanks everyone, I ended up washing last night and have the dye on now.
