I color my hair and have a lot of solution left over, as I have short hair. Is there anyway I can use this bottle again when I need to dye my hair again? Thank you.

I have short hair as well. I just mix 1/2 the solutions and use either another bottle or a glass cup and a hair color brush. Works great for me and I always get 2 applications per box. Just be sure to measure right.
Can I keep hair coloring if I only use part of the bottles that you mix together. I have short hair and don't use all of the product. And I was wondering if I don't mix all the product, can I use it later? And if so how long can I keep it?

I have kept unmixed leftover hair dye in a small container for four weeks and everything went well. This time, I accidently left it out on my dresser and the light was on. The top portion of the dye turned dark on the top.
I thought I needed two bottles of Loreal casting creme. I have already mixed the developer and the creme though I have not used the other bottle.
Since I already mixed it can it still be used in the future? Please advise.Can I re-use my Splat hair color that's been opened for a couple months now?
I did a transformers test on my hair and left the bottle out over night. Is it still OK to use, will it be as effective?
Can I use the Ion hair dye from the tubes after opening it?
Can I use my permanent hair dye after 3 weeks in the fridge?
I want to know if I can use semi permanent hair dye 2 days after opening?
Why do I have more hair color than the chemical when I use a partial bottle? It clearly states ie 30 ml of both bottle contents?
I have bought Loreal's Majirel hair color. When I opened the box, the seal of the tube was missing and when I squeezed it, the hair color that came out was of green colour. Is this colour useable or should I throw it away?
Last night I dyed my hair and I missed a spot. My hair is short so I still have a lot of dye left. Is it okay to use the next day (it's Feria in deepest violet)?
Can you use the same hair dye from the previous day?
Hair dye, unmixed, has a shelf life of a year. Once you mix it with developer, you must throw away the mixture. You cannot even use it one day later.
How do I divide a tube of L'oreal hair dye evenly in half so I can use it twice? I only need to use half of the ingredients for each hair dye using L'Oreal Excellence. The coloring creme used to be in a dark bottle that was easy to divide in half.
Now it is in a tube so I cannot tell if I have squeezed out half or more or less. Each tube says it holds 1.86 fluid ounces. How can I divide the contents so that I use half and save the other half for the next time.I only dye my roots to cover up my gray with black dye. I had a bunch left over and put it in the refrigerator. Is it still safe to use on my roots? It's been stored for about a month.
Can I use only a little amount of and how do I preserve and store the remaining dye for future use?
It is my understanding that any dye that has to be mixed unused/leftovers should be discarded.
I realize it is expensive and having to discard a lot more than you use, seems very wasteful. Always read the label with products like this as when using chemicals it is very important to follow directions exactly as stated.
Perhaps you could use a semi-permanent dye that does not require mixing?
Check directions on container but I believe you can store unused portion in dark well sealed container (room temperature) for several weeks.
This is not a permanent dye so it will fade faster but you can easily reapply when necessary.
I have hair color and peroxide mixed as leftovers. Can I put them in fridge to reuse 6-8 weeks later? Thanks.
