If you have recently dyed your hair and are nervous about getting hot roots anytime soon, there are many different ways to avoid them. According to Kalista Salon, if you are applying a root-to-end hair application for the first time, it is important to start at the ends of the hair and work your way up to the roots, so that the ends have more time to absorb the color than the roots do. This will aid in reducing the chances of getting hot roots. Also, per Madison Reed, the best way to color your hair is by using permanent color on the roots, and a gloss for the rest. The result is a shiny, glossy head of hair with no hot roots or dull locks.
Another way to avoid hot roots altogether is by simply using a hair color cream that is one shade darker than the color you are using for the rest of your hair. Since you now know that the root will lighten quicker, it will lighten to fit the rest of the hair color seamlessly. If you happen to be using any professional hair dye at home, remember to always clean the skin surrounding the head and face afterward, and consult with a professional before use of the product if you have any further questions about the application.
