When coloring your hair,Can you leave the hair color on longer than it says on the box?

It just seems that it fades too quickly so I thought maybe leaving it on longer than reccomended 30 minutes would help.Thanx

Processing time means just that, after whatever time that's stipulated on the box by the manufacturer is how long their color takes to process, meaning.......once your hair cuticle is full there is no more room for anything else, say like a glass of water, you can make it overflow, but the excess will just run off. People that do not know the structure of hair seems to thing that the longer you leave it on the longer your color will last, that is so not true. The longer you leave hair color on(pass processing time) the more damaged your hair will be. So in essence it makes no sense at all to leave it on past processing time, your hair cuticle is full. Good luck to you.

Haircolor is made to be self-timing these days. Especially the do-it-yourself kind. It shuts itself off after the recommended time so you do not over-process. Highlighting products (hair bleach) does not do this so it will lighten more if left on longer. The reason it's fading so quickly probably has something to do with the after-care. Always use color safe shampoo and conditioner.

You can, but I wouldn't it drys your hair out so bad you can't bring it back and it falls out more. This becomes worse if you color your hair often as i did. It has taken my hair almost a year to comeback from all the damage I caused it. Don't dye to close together either. Good Luck. I hope I have helped a little.
