I've heard that you should color your hair the day after you washed it, not the same day. Is this true? And if, why?
Shouldn't you color your hair when it's completely clean?

No you should color your hair when it's dirty not when it's clean

^ Yeah I agree with Anissa. Your hair isn't supposed to be clean!

See :/ this is where I get confused, because I've ALWAYS been told to wash my hair before dying it because the oils & dirt will prevent the dyes from penetrating the hair.. or whatever :s
why should it be dirty?

Noemie C.
Because the sebum produced by the scalp needs to be present in sufficient quantities to protect the scalp from the dye.
this is what I've always been told! :)

But is it just because you should protect your scalp, or will the color be different as well?

Noemie C.
No the color won't be different!
