The Secret to Lovely Hair Color
Do a regular touch up on your hair color, at least once a month, to avoid any avoidable hair damage and to maintain the lovely color of your hair. The roots can be covered with a home hair-color applied with a clean mascara wand rather than the brush that comes with the hair-color kit. Just make sure that the home hair-color that you’re getting is one that matches your hair color. Touching up regularly will put off dyeing the whole head because of fading color.
