I died my hair last night and i still had left over dye left.. (i did highlights) and to night i want to do some touch ups, can i still use the left over dye!?! It's all been mixed up already i just didn't use it all up last night.. CAn i still use it and not have n-e worries about it making my hair fall out or change to some crazy color?!!?

You should never use old dye solution that is already mixed. It could be dangerous, especially when you consider it's chemicals and you don't know how the mixture changes as the chemical reaction ages.

I'd recommend buying a new box - it's safer.

I used to dye my hair & I remember one thing that it said on the box was to never use the old dye. And to dispose of all remaining dye after use. So I definately wouldn't take the chance!

Well I just purchased hair color (Color expert) and put it on my hair last night. It says right here on the box discard all left over dye. DO NOT REUSE. If I were you I would purchase a new box.

Ps.

How did it turn out? I am not happy with mine. It took me a whole week to get up the nerve to color my hair. Then I did it and nothing It looks the same as normal. I am so bummed. I need a change, I am getting board with myself. I know its just the weather The snow is getting on my last nerve. I hate being cooped up in the house. Its just so cold that by the time you get all bundeld up you frozen and back inside in a jiffy. I just want spring, I want to work in my garden and put on my new spring cloths. ( my Dh told me to go shopping last weekend. He saw a big sale at my fav. store and told me to go and get myself some nice things. Enjoy myself and not to worry about the kids. He would even make dinner for them. I wasted no time running out the door.)
