Can you dye your hair the same day after using color oops

As I have mentioned earlier, there is absolutely no harm in recolouring your hair the same day after using color oops. But you need to understand the state of your hair.

Color oops contains bleaching agents and so if your hair feels damaged by bleach like if it’s too dry and frizzy after the use of colour oops, you can wait for 5 to 6 days to recolour your hair.

Meanwhile you can work towards the restoration of your hair condition by conditioning it with conditioners and masks and oiling it regularly.

When you use color oops, the hair follicles open up to lift the hair colour and in this state the follicles will take up colours from the dye easily and in brighter shades. So, waiting for a week or so is better if you want to get better results and the exact colour of your desire.

Remember that color oops can’t take off blonds and bold colours like pink, blue, green and purple easily. So, you need to bleach your hair for that.
