any and all the instructions from cover to cover.
You would be surprised how many
consumers buy the box and apply it to their hair without first
reading the instructions.
Once you have read the

brush

Consider purchasing latex over plastic unless you have a known latex
allergy. Latex is more flexible and gives you more sensitivity.
Many of the boxed kits contain plastic gloves. If you want latex
gloves you may need to search for them.
Latex gloves provide a great degree of sensitivity. They allow
you to judge better where the color is by feel. Latex gloves are
especially helpful when apply the color to the back of your head.
Bowl & Brushes
Visit your local
beauty supply store and pick up a professional quality plastic bowl
and brush for mixing the color.
Look for a bowl that is deep and has a notch on the side for easy
handling, and a rubber base to keep it from tipping.
Sometimes you can find all of
your hair color tools packaged together.
Be sure to carefully time all of your color steps to avoid mistakes.
When In Doubt
If you are unsure about any
steps along the home hair color way be sure to postpone your color
steps until you are comfortable with the processes you are about to
undertake.
Consult with your own professional hairdresser or
colorist or call the toll free support line for the manufacturer of
the hair color kit you purchased to have questions answered.
