Does store-bought hair dye ever expire?

Question

I bought a hair-dye kit at the store a couple months ago, is it still safe to use? do those little box-kits ever expire?

Answer 1

Hair Dye
When to toss: After 24 months. The consistency and chemicals change over time, and the dye loses its ability to color your hair and may leave splotchy patches, says Marcy Cona, director of education and shows for Clairol Professional.

Answer 3

I do think everything has it expired date. It is better check with the manufacture on the product if u can't get the expired date printed on the box-kits.

Expired hair-dye product may caused harmful chemicals react when you mix the two parts of the hair dye together.

Yes, they do, but since your's is only 2 months old, it is fine.
Be careful on how often and how much you use "self-kit's" though, because your hair will eventually get ruined.
Of course, it's always best to get your hair done at a salon, but some people can't afford something like that {they are expensive}, so, I would rather have healthy hair than to worry about the cost.

Answer 5

Um usually a year or two after you purchase the dye it should expire, say, if you put it in 09 ... look on the box though there should be an expiration date on the bar code ... if it expires it usually gives you a lighter color , more weak .
