We don’t always have the time for the hair salon. Sitting on the salon chair for at least an hour to cut and colour our hair can sometimes feel like too much to ask. That said, we still want to look presentable and feel confident. So whether you’re looking to refresh your hair colour with a funky, playful shade or cover up grey hairs with a natural hue, here are 10 DIY box hair dyes you can get in Singapore.
Some tips:
- Use petroleum jelly to protect your hairline and ears from staining.
- Get more hair dye than you think you need. Complete saturation of the tresses will create better, more even results.
- Section your hair into small bunches to make it easier for the thorough application of hair dye.
