My tube of hair color is enough for 2 applications. It has a small hole in it. Is it safe to use the rest?
What, other then the original bottle, can I keep unused unmixed developer in to save it for another time?
I have hair color and peroxide mixed as leftovers. Can I put them in fridge to reuse 6-8 weeks later? Thanks.
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 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 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.Fill a developer bottle with slightly less than 2 ounces of developer. Then squeeze the color into the bottle. When you get slightly below the 4 ounce line you have evenly divided it in half.
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)?
If the dye was not mixed with the developer you can mix a small amount and cover the spot. If it was already mixed you must throw it out and buy more.
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?
You should have returned it to the store. If the seal is broken it means the product was tampered with. I would not have used it.
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?
If you didnt mix the developer with the dye you can use it for your next dye job. If you mixed them, you have to throw the excess away.
I want to know if I can use semi permanent hair dye 2 days after opening?
2 days after opening should be fine but leaving hair dye opened will oxidize and can mess up your colour. You can tell if the product exposed to the air has changed because it will be darker and thicker so just squeeze it from the tube until the dye which hasn't been oxidized comes out, that's still fresh and totally fine to use
Can I use my permanent hair dye after 3 weeks in the fridge?
As long as you did not mix it with the developer it is fine and doesn't have to be refrigerated. If you did mix it, it is no good.
Can I use the Ion hair dye from the tubes after opening it?
As long as you didn't mix the dye with the developer, it's good for a year. If you did mix it with the developer, it's only good for a couple of hours.
Yes, as long as its just in the original tube and not mixed with developer.
