Have you ever noticed uneven bands of color running through your hair after coloring? This common issue, known as "color banding," can happen to anyone—but the good news is, it's fixable! Here’s everything you need to know about identifying, correcting, and preventing color banding.
What is Color Banding?
Color banding occurs when hair color is applied unevenly or overlaps, resulting in distinct bands or stripes of color. It often happens during home dye jobs or when transitioning between colors at different times.
Common Causes of Color Banding
- Uneven application of hair dye
- Incorrect processing times
- Using varying dye strengths or formulas
- Previous color build-up or improper color lifting
