What color should I dye my hair?

Picking the perfect color to dye your hair may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be hard. You ultimately want to update, restore or refresh your look – and that’s always exciting! Beyond choosing the shade itself, think about these considerations:

• Is your current hair natural or already treated/dyed? If you’ve colored it recently, wait at 4-6 weeks.
• Want to go from very dark to very light? Choose a Garnier hair color brand with excellent lifting power, like Charcoal Bleach that can lighten up to 8 shades.
• Does your hair need extra hydration? Look for hair color with extra nourishment like Olia.

How often should you color your hair?

How often you color your hair depends on the type of hair color and the purpose. For example, permanent hair color for all-over color should be done every 4-6 weeks. You can also opt to just do a root touchup with the same kit and color. That frequency may differ if you’re using semi- or demi- permanent hair dye, in which case the number of washes is a better gauge. See our article on how often to apply hair color for more details.

What is permanent hair color?

Permanent hair color is formulated to open and penetrate the cuticle deep inside the hair strands. This action makes it last a long time and withstand repeated washes until your hair grows out. There are also ways to prolong the effects of this type of hair color so it fades more slowly.
