So my sister has pretty brownish hair and we are going to paint her hair this color. problem is the last two times that shes dyed her hair it does change to the color except her roots. the color does not lock into the top of hair. Anyone know why or how we can make the color lock into her hair this time? thanks girls(:

Do the roots first leave for 20 mins then do the rest leave again for 20 the root probaly need to process longer.

Hello, I'm a licensed cosmetologist. Honestly, just start by applying it to the roots first and then apply it to the rest of the hair. Then, cover it with plastic (like maybe a walmart bag) and use a blow dryer on it with the bag on, on low heat for like 10 minutes. A lot of times in a salon to process chemicals faster you put the person under a hooded dryer(I'm assuming you don't own one of these so a blow dryer will do fine). The heat just helps it process faster.

It also helps it absorb better.

Danielle thank you so much! How long should I keep the tint on her hair for? So I do the roots and the rest of the hair at the same time right?

Also have any tips for making your hair color last other than shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. my mom constantly has to dye her hair to keep the grays away lol

Leave it on for what the instructions say, and if it still isn't taking heat it again and leave it on no more than an hour total. I usually leave mine on for an hour so it would be fine.

And wash your hair with cool water. Like luke warm.
