I'm using L'Oreal Preference and the directions don't say whether or not you should wash your hair prior to dying. What do you think I should do?

I've used that product over and over for many years.
Do not wash your hair prior to dying. Dye your hair either first thing in the morning before you wash it (then don't wash it until the next day) or in the evening after dinner.
It's best to leave it 24 - 48 hours after you dye it before washing it again.

Do not wash it before you color. You are supposed to put the dye on clean, dry, unwashed hair. Wash your hair 24 hours before dying and just don't put in any styling products. This will make the color last longer too.

Most say the hair should be clean and dry. It's better to do the color the day after you wash, your scalp is not as tender to the chemicals.

I have been told to use a shampoo that claifys the hair to remove products and then wait till the next day to allow some of the natural oils to come back.

they want you to work with clean dry hair. if you've washed your hair a day or 2 ago and don't have alot of product in your hair you will be fine. just brush it out really good before starting.

Can you look on the box somewhere for a toll free phone number to call? I have my hair done by my beautician and
she does not wash my hair until she is done with the color.
Good luck.

Typically it is best to color your hair when it is somewhat dirty.. you should not wash it first or immediately after. I would color it and wait at least 24 hrs to shampoo it. My first roommate was a beautician and tipped me off to this. And I dye my hair alot.. lol

It's not necessary to wash your hair before coloring it. The color will take better if you don't, from what I know.
