Planning is everything and will help you achieve beautiful and flawless locks. If you have damaged hair, you will probably have to start early to get your hair back in good condition. If your hair is in good condition, then it may take some less time. You should even start researching beforehand to have a vision in your mind. This will help you in planning your colour and style accordingly. 

 2. Not doing research

Before getting your hair coloured, you need to research the hair colour as well as the hairstylist. If you don’t find a good stylist, there are chances that it may not appear the way you wanted. Therefore, it is suggested to look for the best hair stylists that fit your budget. You should check their techniques, their social media pages, and reviews to have a better understanding. If you have a specific look in your mind, you must show those pictures to your hairstylist. You should even keep this thing in mind that the same hair colour in the picture may not suit your face cut or your skin tone. Speak to your stylist to understand and choose what may suit you the best.

3. Opting for something drastic 

No bride would ever want to look back and have regrets about these common hair dye mistakes. A wedding is a special occasion and you cannot let anything ruin it. You should be open to experimentation, but avoid going for something drastic. For instance, opting for blue or purple highlights can be drastic, if you have never done this before. 

Re-colouring will further damage your hair. Therefore, you should be specific about your choices and consult your stylist. You should make your decision based on your research and the stylist’s suggestions. 

4. Not considering the wedding looks and outfits

You also need to consider your wedding outfit and looks that you may have envisioned for your special day. The details of your hairstyles won’t be visible in pictures if you have black hair. The details will enhance and look appealing in lighter hair colours. If you’re planning on wearing a pastel-coloured lehenga or want to opt for something indo-western, you need to plan accordingly. You won’t have much time to re-colour your hair later and fixing hair colour mistakes. 

5. Not checking the products used

Whether you’re going to your next-door salon or visiting a celeb stylist, you should always check the products that will be used. The right products are essential for the best results. You should even ask your stylist and colourist about what brands they are using. There are chances that you may be allergic to certain dyes or ingredients, which is why it is advised to check these things beforehand. Not checking the products can lead to a blunder, which you may not be able to fix later. The wrong products and ingredients may even damage your hair. 

6. Choosing the wrong colour

You also need to consider your skin tone, before finalizing your hair colour. The brown colour of all shades goes well with Indian skin tones and is preferably a safe bet. After choosing a colour, you also need to decide whether you want highlights or global. All these choices will impact your hair and hairstyle options. In addition to your skin tone, you should even consider your hair type and texture. Considering all these aspects will help you choose the right hair colour for your special day. 

7. Trying to do it yourself at home 

We all love DIYs, but you cannot experiment when your wedding date is near. We understand that mistakes can happen by an expert too. But, you need to understand that you won’t get the exact desired results when you try colouring your hair at home. Instead of experimenting with things at home, you should visit your regular stylist and colourist for guidance. Consult with them and discuss all your concerns. Based on your requirements, they will guide you and help you get the best hair colour before your wedding.

Your hair colour will ideally take some time to settle in and look good on your face. If you are opting for global hair colour, you can consider getting it done before one week. In case of balayage or highlights, you can consider getting it done even before that.
