Myth: Coloring hair reduces thickness
Truth: Some people feel that coloring the hair reduces the density of the hair. Whereas this is not at all the case. The truth is quite the opposite.

Myth: Hair coloring is harmful
Truth: There is some truth in this, because if you are using cheap and bad color then it can harm the hair. But if you use Chloral Nice N Easy formula then it does not cause any harm. Whereas, harsh chemicals like ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, PPD (paraphenylenediamine), lead and mercury can make hair dry, weak and lifeless.
Myth: Eyebrow color must match hair color
Truth: Some people believe that after coloring the hair, the color of the eyebrows looks different. In such a situation, along with coloring the hair, the color of the eyebrows should also be matched. Whereas it is not so… because light eyebrows frame your face better than dark eyebrows.

Myth: It is okay to wash hair after coloring your hair
Truth: Some people feel that it is better to wash hair immediately after getting hair colored. But it is not so at all.

Keep in mind that after getting hair colored, do not go to the pool for at least a week.
Myth: Hair must be dirty to get hair colored
Truth: This myth is not completely wrong, but yes, before getting hair colored, you should wash your hair 24 to 48 hours before. Apart from this, one should not use any kind of chemical in hair before getting hair done. By doing this the natural oil of the hair builds up which protects the scalp.
