Can I leave hair dye in for 2 hours?
no…it’s not advantageous in any way to leave boxed hair colour in overnight. There are several reasons. Boxed dye will ONLY have any effect for 45 to 60 minutes then, “shuts off”. Leaving it on longer will only make a huge mess and do nothing.
Does leaving hair dye on longer make it darker?
Leaving the dye on longer won’t necessarily result in the color being darker or lasting longer. It’s also not a good idea to leave hair dye on skin for longer than recommended. Your scalp may become inflamed and the smell of hair dye may also give you a headache.
